The 2020 NFL draft is one of the few major pro sports events that has not been postponed or canceled due to fears of the spread of the coronavirus. The NFL currently plans to open training camps and the regular season on time, and given that those dates go well into the summer and fall, that makes sense with existing social distancing guidelines. The draft won’t be the lavish event that it normally is; the league will not descend en masse on Las Vegas. Instead, teams will submit picks remotely — but we will still have three days of activity, from April 23 to April 25. We have a look at some of the sports betting NFL Draft Odds on a wide variety of draft day props, including which players might go in the first round from some of the top college programs in the nation.

When will JUSTIN HERBERT be drafted?
So, if you’re taking this prop, you’re betting on which pick will choose Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert. If you pick under 5.5, then you think he will go in picks 1-5; if you choose over 5.5, then you think he will go in the sixth pick or after.
Right now, Miami has the fifth pick, and the Los Angeles Chargers have the sixth pick. Miami’s fans had been agitating for “Tank for Tua” but there are rumors that Miami isn’t all that excited about the Alabama quarterback. They might go after Herbert instead. Why? Tua is still rehabbing that hip, he’s left-handed, and while he has a cannon arm, he absorbs too many big hits. If you don’t think his being a lefty is a big factor, take a minute and think about who the last left-handed quarterback was to start an NFL game. (Answer at the end of the article). So if you think that the Dolphins have soured on Tua, go with the “over.” That’s what a lot of the league buzz is right now — but remember, teams can trade up and down in the draft.
When will CEEDEE LAMB be drafted?
It sounds like the New York Jets are very high on the Oklahoma wide receiver. The team has him in the top slot on their wide receiver position on their draft board. The Jets have the 11th pick, but a lot of NFL draft boards have him at either #12 or #13 on their Big Board as far as overall players. The Jets need to get Sam Darnold some passing targets — but they also need an offensive tackle or two.
When will JERRY JEUDY be drafted?
- O/U 11.5 pick (over -160 / under +120)
Jeudy is another transcendent wide receiver talent. He’s higher on most Big Boards than Lamb. The Jets at #11 could use a wide receiver. If the Chargers are really going to stick with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback, then they could go to Jeudy at #6 and just give Taylor another place to throw the ball. Some experts are reporting that the Carolina Panthers might go with a wide receiver at #7 after bringing in Joe Brady from LSU to run the offense. His scheme is receiver-heavy in terms of pure athleticism, and Jeudy would fit that bill.
Here is a look at some of the draft props broken down by conference, with the 2020 NFL Draft odds:
- Total ACC Players Drafted in the First Round: O/U 3.5 (over +115 / under -155)
- Total Alabama Players Drafted in the First Round: O/U 5.5 (over +100 / under -140)
- Total Auburn Players Drafted in the First Round: O/U 1.5 (over +170 / under -250)

- Total Big 12 Players Drafted in the First Round: O/U 3.5 (over +190 / under -240)
- Clemson: O/U 1.5 (over -240 / under +190)
- Georgia: O/U 1.5 (over +140 / under -180)
- LSU: O/U 5.5 (over +220 / under -280)
- Ohio State O/U 2.5 (over +285 / under -360)
- Oklahoma O/U 2.5 (over -115 / under -125)
- Pac-12 Players O/U 2.5 (over +190 / under -240)
- SEC Players O/U 15.5 (over -160 / under +120)
And here’s your answer. The last left-handed quarterback to start an NFL game was Kellen Moore, doing some end-of-season cleanup duty for Dallas. No left-hander has led a team’s offense as the #1 guy on the depth chart since Michael Vick played for the Atlanta Falcons.
