Odds and Predictions

Number of QBs Drafted in 1st Round

Over 4: -200 (bet $200 to win $100)

Under 4: +170 (bet $100 to win $170)

Three quarterbacks are locks to be selected in the first round, and it's likely that trio will be off the board within the first six picks, if not earlier.

LSU's Joe Burrow will be the No. 1 overall pick. The Cincinnati Bengals need a new franchise quarterback after struggling under the leadership of Andy Dalton in recent seasons, and Burrow had a tremendous 2019, leading the Tigers to a perfect 15-0 record and a national championship while also winning the Heisman Trophy.

Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa and Oregon's Justin Herbert should be drafted shortly thereafter. Their likely landing spots are to the Miami Dolphins at No. 5 and the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 6, respectively, as both teams need new quarterbacks. It's also possible Tagovailoa could be selected earlier, going to either the Washington Redskins at No. 2 or to a team that trades into the top five.

This prop bet, however, is likely to be a push, as Utah State's Jordan Love should also be a first-round pick. The Jacksonville Jaguars may consider him at No. 9, but it's more likely he falls, potentially going to the Tom Brady-less New England Patriots at No. 23. Either way, he should be the fourth and final quarterback drafted in the first round.

Team to Draft Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa

Dolphins +100

Lions +120

Redskins +275

Chargers +400

Patriots +1800

Bengals +2000

Raiders +2000

Field +2000

Jaguars +2500

Broncos +3000

Colts +4500

Panthers +7500

Saints +10000

Buccaneers +20000

Titans +20000

There are a lot of teams to consider as a landing spot for Tagovailoa, and there's also the choice of the field (any team that isn't on this list).

However, his most likely landing spot is the Dolphins, who remain the betting favorite. Miami should be able to select Tagovailoa at No. 5, but it's also possible it moves up a pick or two (trading with either the Detroit Lions or New York Giants) to secure its franchise quarterback.

The Dolphins are likely going to move on from Josh Rosen, who struggled in his first season in Miami after getting traded from Arizona Cardinals. Ryan Fitzpatrick is 37, so while he could be the Dolphins' Week 1 starter in 2020, he's not their long-term offensive leader.

The Redskins and Chargers remain possibilities. But it's most likely that Washington sticks with Dwayne Haskins at quarterback. Los Angeles, meanwhile, will draft Herbert after Tagovailoa comes off the board before its pick.

1st WR Drafted

Jerry Jeudy -120

CeeDee Lamb +110

Henry Ruggs III +600

Tee Higgins +5000

Justin Jefferson +5000

It's possible that three of these players could be selected in a span of four picks (Nos. 12-15), as the Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos are likely all looking to add wide receivers early in the draft.

Jerry Jeudy is most likely going to be the first one off the board after his impressive career at Alabama. Over the past two seasons, he had 145 receptions for 2,478 yards and 24 touchdowns. And his all-around skills likely make him the safest receiver to pick early.

Las Vegas needs some offensive weapons to go along with running back Josh Jacobs, and adding Jeudy, Jacobs' former college teammate, would give it a player who can develop into its No. 1 receiver. Lamb and Ruggs should come off the board quickly after Jeudy is drafted, but expect the Alabama standout to be picked first.

Jefferson and Higgins should also be first-round picks, although they might not be selected until later in the round. One will likely be going at No. 21 to the Philadelphia Eagles, who need to get younger and deeper in their receiving corps.
