NFL Draft 2022: Betting draft position over/unders

We have discussed the NFL Draft betting market a few times now on Yardbarker. From the first quarterback drafted to who will be selected with the first, second and third picks, the betting options available to us continue to grow.

It's a unique market, built on rumors and guesses, but it's a fun one to dig into. 

One area you can bet on is a select group of incoming NFL players and an over/under of where they will be drafted.

As of this writing, there are 22 prospects with set over/unders to bet on, and some catch the eye in one direction or the other.

Ahmad Gardner under 8.5 (-200 DK)

Cornerback Ahmad Gardner has continued to gain ground as the top defensive back in this class. He's a long, rangy shutdown corner slated to start on the outside from Day One.

Cornerbacks are a premier position in the NFL and I fully expect Gardner to be gone by the ninth pick. Are these odds the best? No they are not, but it still feels like a bet worth considering.

I've seen Gardner projected as high as No. 2 to Detroit, with teams like the Jets (No. 4) a popular landing spot.

Corners Jaycee Horn and Patrick Surtain both went in the top 10 last year, and I expect Gardner to follow suit.

Kayvon Thibodeaux under 5.5 (+100 DK)

We've wrote about EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux multiple times now, and I find this to be great value on trusting that this talented edge rusher goes early in the draft.

The Lions, Texans, Jets and Giants all have selections from No. 2 No. 5 and have needs for an edge rusher. After Aidan Hutchinson (who will go first), Thibodeaux still feels like the best prospect available.

Considering team needs, I think it's a good bet to consider Thibodeaux a top-five pick.

Derek Stingley Jr. over 10.5 (-105 DK)

Stingley is another corner, from LSU, and I just don't see him going inside the top 10. The concern with Stingley, and why I foresee a slip, is the lack of tape he has put out in the last few years.

Stingly caught people's attention as a member of LSU's championship team in 2019. He hasn't dominated since, and spending a top-10 pick on someone a few years removed from a strong year feels like a risk.

The corner feels like a good bet to go in the early teens, making the over here the preferred play.

Garrett Wilson under 10.5 (-115 DK)

Wilson is one of the top wide receivers in the draft, with many split on him and USC wideout Drake London.

There seems to be two strong landing spots for receivers before the 11th pick, that being the Falcons at No. 8 and the Jets at No. 10. I expect at least one WR to be selected in these spots, and Wilson seems like the best bet to be that guy.

I like this -115 value on who I consider to be the most talented receiver in the draft.

The above is just a sampling of the available bets for us to consider. We have two weeks until the draft, and we'll be continuing our monitoring of the board before locking in our absolute favorites for the first round.
