2020 NFL Draft props: Burrow or bust as No. 1 overall pick

2020 NFL Draft props: Burrow or bust as No. 1 overall pick

Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow is a prohibitive betting favorite to be the first player taken in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The 2020 NFL Draft prop market is up and running with wagering options on the No. 1 overall pick and first player selected at key positions listed on oddsboards. Soon, there will be a slew of betting possibilities for the hyped, three-day event, set for April 23-25 in Las Vegas. NFL fans will be able to lay money on everything from the number of players drafted in the first round from a particular conference to the first pick by individual teams. For now, options are modest, with the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine still weeks away. Oddsmakers are confident the Cincinnati Bengals, who have the top pick after finishing the regular season with a league-worst 2-14 straight-up record, will select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow first overall. The Heisman Trophy winner is the overwhelming favorite to go No. 1, listed a -2000 odds at FoxBet. Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young is a distant second choice at +850. The gap at DraftKings between the two is even greater, with Burrow pegged at -10000 and Young at +1400. __Tom Brady next team odds:__ [Colts in the mix](https://www.betchicago.com/colts-tom-brady-betting-odds-next-team) Teams like the Dolphins and Colts, both in the hunt for starting quarterbacks, could trade up with the Bengals and snare the top selection in the draft. But the pick either team is chasing is clear among the betting market and NFL insiders. Burrow tossed for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns (both SEC records), and compiled an impressive 76.3 completion percentage en route to an undefeated season and national title. Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, projected as the next quarterback off the board behind Burrow, is dealing in the +1400 to +2000 range as third choice for first pick overall. The Westgate LV SuperBook [tabbed Tagovailoa the frontrunner as the 2020 top selection last May at -300 odds](https://www.betchicago.com/2020-nfl-draft-tua-tagovailoa-alabama-favorite), just ahead of Georgia's Jake Fromm and Oregon's Justin Herbert, both offered ar +700. Burrow was not even an option and available upon request, while Young was +1600. Here are numbers at FoxBet, current as of Monday, Feb. 10. ## No. 1 overall pick odds, 2020 NFL Draft Joe Burrow -2000 Chase Young +850 Tua Tagovailoa +1400 Justin Herbert +3000 Andrew Thomas +3500 Jeffrey Okudah +4000 Derrick Brown +5000 Jake Fromm +6600 Isaiah Simmons +7500 Jerry Jeudy +7500 CeeDee Lamb +8000 Jordan Love +10000 Jacob Eason +15000 Grant Delpit +17500 Tee Higgins +20000 D'Andre Swift +25000 Trevon Diggs +30000 Paulson Adebo +30000 AJ Epenesa +50000 ## First WR drafted odds, 2020 NFL Draft Jerry Jeudy (ALA) -150 CeeDee Lamb (OU) +120 Tee Higgins (CLEM) +550 Henry Ruggs III (ALA) +1100 Laviska Shenault (COL) +1300 Jalen Reagor (TCU) +1600 Gabriel Davis (UCF) +1800 KJ Hamler (PSU) +2000 Antonio Gandy-Golden (LIB) +2200 Justin Jefferson (LSU) +2500 Tyler Johnson (MIN) +3000 Brandon Aiyuk (ASU) +3300 K.J. Hill (OSU) +3300 Michael Pittman Jr (USC) +4000 Collin Johnson (TEX) +4500 Chase Claypool (ND) +5000 Denzel Mims (BAY) +6000 Bryan Edwards (SC) +6600 Kendrick Rogers (TAMU) +7000 Devin Duvernay (TEX) +8000 Isaiah Hodgins (ORE) +8000 Donovan Peoples-Jones (MICH) +12500 John Hightower (BSU) +15000 The race for first wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft is tight one between Alabama's Jerry Jeudy (-150) and Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb (+120). Each player, blessed with tremendous hands and run-after-catch ability, is projected to be drafted among the first 15 selections with a group of franchises (Jaguars, Colts, Cardinals) starved for play-making potential. The first wideout off the board in 2019 was Marquise Brown, selected 25th overall by the Ravens. __2020 NFL win totals:__ [Bears, Colts middle of the pack](https://www.betchicago.com/2020-nfl-win-totals-chicago-bears) ## First RB drafted odds, 2020 NFL Draft D'Andre Swift (UGA) -300 Jonathan Taylor (WIS) +250 J.K. Dobbins (OSU) +400 Cam Akers (FSU) +800 Zack Moss (UTA) +1000 Clyde Edwards-Helaire (LSU) +1300 Eno Benjamin (ASU) +2000 KeShawn Vaughn (VU) +2500 Lamical Perine (FLA) +3000 AJ Dillon (BC) +5000 Michael Warren (CIN) +6600 Trey Sermon (OU) +8000 D'Andre Swift has a stranglehold on the first running back drafted board at -300 odds. The Georgia product, a former five-star recruit, is coming out of a high-pedigree program for bell cows and with little wear and tear. The allure of grabbing a lightly-used, top-tier running back at the bruising position has been in high regard the last few drafts. Swift totaled just 440 carries in his college career, as opposed to the second choice on the board, Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor (+250), who tallied 926 rushes for the Badgers. Ohio State's J.K. Dobbins is third choice at +400 odds. ## First S drafted odds, 2020 NFL Draft Grant Delpit (LSU) -133 Xavier McKinney (ALA) +105 Antoine Winfield Jr. (MIN) +350 Ashtyn Davis (CAL) +500 K'Von Wallace (CLEM) +650 Kyle Dugger (LR) +800 Terrell Burgess (UTAH) +900 Jeremy Chinn (SI) +1000 Brandon Jones (TEX) +1600 Antoine Brooks Jr. (MARY) +1800 J.R. Reed (UGA) +2000 Julian Blackmon (UTAH) +2800 Jalen Elliott (ND) +3000 Jordan Fuller (OSU) +3300 Shyheim Carter (ALA) +4000 Richie Grant (UCF) +4500 Brian Cole (MSU) +5000 Marcelino Ball (IND) +5500 Reggie Floyd (VT) +6000 Alohi Gilman (ND) +6600 Myles Dorn (NC) +6600 Nevelle Clarke (UCF) +9000 Khaleke Hudson (MICH) +10000 Jaylinn Hawkins (CAL) +12500 ## First TE drafted odds, 2020 NFL Draft Brycen Hopkins (PUR) +115 Hunter Bryant (WASH) +175 Cole Kmet (ND) +225 Jared Pinkney (VU) +333 Albert Okwuegbunam (MIZZ) +450 Thaddeus Moss (LSU) +550 Cheyenne O'Grady (ARK) +650 Harrison Bryant (FAU) +800 Colby Parkinson (STAN) +900 Jacob Breeland (ORE) +1500 Josiah Deguara (CIN) +2000 Adam Trautman (UD) +2500 Chase Allen (ISU) +3300 Luke Farrell (OSU) +4000 Joey Magnifico (MEM) +5000 Charlie Taumoepeau (PS) +6600 Mitchell Wilcox (SFU) +7000 Stephen Sullivan (LSU) +8000 __Super Bowl 55 odds:__ [Chiefs faves to repeat](https://www.betchicago.com/super-bowl-55-odds-chiefs-favorites-repeat)
