2020 NFL Draft Odds, Predictions and Tips ?

Joe Burrow NFL Draft Odds

The undisputed favourite to be the first overall pick of the 2020 NFL draft, Burrow – a 23-year-old quarterback out of LSU –  is coming off a Heisman Trophy-winning season in Baton Rouge and is tipped by many for superstardom.

He is the overwhelming favourite with all bookmakers to the first pick and with the Cincinnati Bengals – who are in desperate need of a quarterback – equipped with the first selection, it would be an enormous shock if they were to go in any other direction.

Tua Tagovailoa NFL Draft Odds

Ankle and hip injuries saw Tagovailoa sidelined for large chunks of 2019, but the 22-year-old quarterback proved he was a star of the future in 2018 when he led Alabama to a National Championship win over Clemson, earning Offensive MVP honours as a result.

Prior to the global pandemic that has shut down sport across the world, Tagovailoa was being chased hard by the Miami Dolphins – and you can get odds of $2.50 with PlayUp for the Dolphins to secure the Hawaiian’s signature in the draft.

2020 NFL Draft: Who will be the first Wide Receiver Taken?

Most pundits are in agreement that the first wide receiver taken in the 2020 NFL draft is between CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy.

Both players are similar in terms of measurable and stats, but we like Lamb at odds of $2.50 with PlayUp. Tipped to make an immediate impact where he ends up, Lamb has the ability to line up anywhere on the field, capping his Oklahoma career last year with 15 touchdowns and 1,327 yards.

The Las Vegas Raiders are favourites to secure Lamb at $4.00 with Sportsbet.
