NFL Draft prop bets: Sam Darnold the favorite, broadcast length, Baker Mayfield to Arizona

By Matthew Paras - The Washington Times - Monday, April 23, 2018

The NFL Draft starts Thursday, and according to an online sports book, USC’s Sam Darnold is the favorite for the first overall pick.

BetDSI.eu lists Darnold as a -150 favorite to be taken first overall by the Cleveland Browns. Darnold is seen by many as the top quarterback in this year’s draft.

Wyoming’s Josh Allen has the second-best odds to go first, being listed at +250.

If you think the Browns will shock and not take a quarterback first, then you can place a bet on them selecting Penn State running back Saquon Barkley (+750).

Elsewhere, the sports book lists all sorts of prop bets: ranging from the broadcast to exact predictions. Here are some that stand out.
