NFL Draft bets: NFC East teams' first pick odds

Washington Commanders, pick No. 16

• Cornerback (-125)
• Offensive lineman (+200)
• Tight end (+600)
• Running back (+800)

For a team with as many needs as Washington, we'd be extremely surprised if they drafted Bijan Robinson, so let's remove that option from the table.

The favorite for Washington's first pick in the post-Dan Snyder era is corner, understandable given the depth and quantity of high-end corners in this class. That depth may give the Commanders pause at taking one in the first in favor of a position with a larger drop off in talent.

This team feels far from competing, and quarterback, which is next on the board at +1000, seems like a possibility in a trade up. Ultimately, we like focusing on that side and taking a chance on offensive line. You cannot compete without studs on the line, and having studs on the line is something Washington most certainly cannot claim.

They need a starting corner and a franchise LT. We'll take the better price on what may very well be the more important position.

The pick: Offensive lineman (+200)

New York Giants, pick No. 25

• Wide receiver (+125)
• Cornerback (+200)
• Offensive lineman (+380)
• Defensive lineman (+700)

Last year the Giants invested in the trenches with a pair of top-10 picks. They signed QB Daniel Jones to a long-term extension this offseason, and now it's time to further invest in Jones' success.

The clearest way to do that is to find a wide receiver, and we agree with this position as the favorite. A few options are on the table here. If Zay Flowers or Jordan Addison slide, they both make sense here for a team in desperate need of better WRs. 

If one of these pass-catchers start to slide, don't be surprised if New York looks to move up a few picks to secure the services of one of these pass-catchers. They may very well have PTSD from 2021 when Philadelphia jumped them to select DeVonta Smith.

The pick: Wide receiver (+125)

Dallas Cowboys, pick No. 26

• Tight end (+200)
• Defensive lineman (+350)
• Offensive lineman (+400)
• Wide receiver (+550)

This is an interesting spot for Dallas. They certainly could use more offensive weapons for Dak Prescott. Tight end Dalton Schultz is off to Houston, and Michael Gallup didn't quite deliver as WR2 last season alongside CeeDee Lamb.

We can appreciate that tight end is the favorite here, but we're not so sure either Dalton Kincaid or Michael Mayer makes it here.

Dallas is a team like Philadelphia that prioritizes strong offensive line play, and it's for that reason we like the Cowboys to go OL here.

Tyron Smith is getting up there in age and injuries, and both he and Terrance Steele are on the last year of their deals at the two tackle positions. Interior offensive line is a pretty clear need with Connor McGovern heading to Buffalo. Cheers to the trenches once again.

The pick: Offensive lineman (+400)
