The best gambling sites are psyched for the 2020 NFL draft, even if it will take place via the phone and internet. And speaking of the internet, the best online sportsbooks are offering odds on NFL teams’ first pick, both by player and by position. So let us just get right to it.
Detroit Lions
Defense
Offense
1/6
7/2
The Lions’ pick could come down to two names, but both are defensive players. One is OSU cornerback Jeffrey Okudah and the other Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons. The former has been heavily hyped, but the latter is “the most NFL-ready draft prospect”. That being said, it’s no secret that Detroit would be open to trade their 3rd overall pick.

Defense
3/10
11/5
In this 2020 NFL draft, The Giants have a right tackle issue, and Becton, built like a shit brickhouse but also light of feet, would be a good way to address it.
Miami Dolphins
Offense
Defense
3/10
11/5
We mentioned above the Lions’ willingness to trade. It’s time to delve into that in more detail. One potential move is for Miami to trade up with Detroit in order to get Tua Tagovailoa at No. 3. On the other hand, the Dolphins just might be a bit wary of the Samoan Bulldozer’s tendency to get injured. In that case, they might go for a defensive player such as Jedrick Wills.
Los Angeles Chargers
Offense
Defense
1/6
7/2
The Chargers lost Philip Rivers to free agency. At No. 6, the best gambling sites all but take it for granted that they are going to select Justin Herbert. And then have Tyrod Taylor groom him to become their franchise QB of the future.
Carolina Panthers
Offense
Defense
1/4
5/2
The departures of free agents Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe left big holes on the Panthers’ defensive line. Therefore, it’s pretty much guaranteed Carolina will select a defensive player with their first pick. Maybe Derrick Brown or Javon Kinlaw.
Arizona Cardinals
Offense
Defense
3/10
11/5
The Cards re-signed DJ Humphries, which takes care of left tackle. And Andrew Thomas could take care of right, a position at which he played in his freshman season.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Offense
Defense
4/7
5/4
The Jags should pick Derrick Brown. If he’s available, that is. As hinted above, the Panthers might beat them to the punch.
Cleveland Browns
Offense
Defense
1/7
4/1
If Arizona passes on Thomas, the Browns could scoop him up.
New York Jets

Jedrick Wills Jr.
17/1
Offense
Defense
1/6
7/2
The Jets’ first pick is likely to be all about QB Sam Darnold. That is to say, either an offensive lineman or a wide receiver.
Las Vegas Raiders
Offense
Defense
4/9
13/8
The Raiders are expected to draft a wide receiver and a cornerback – possibly CeeDee Lamb and CJ Henderson – with their first two picks, but not necessarily in that order.
San Francisco 49ers
Offense
Defense
4/9
13/8
The Niners lost wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to free agency. Thus they could conceivably attempt to fill that void with Jerry Jeudy.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Offense
Defense
1/4
5/2
In this 2020 NFL draft, the fact that the Bucs spent quite a pretty penny on an aging Tom Brady, improved their Super Bowl odds at the best gambling sites. But it also makes it almost a must for them to pick an offensive lineman. Someone along the lines of Jedrick Wills.
Denver Broncos
Offense
Defense
3/10
11/5
Giving Drew Lock a deep target such as Henry Ruggs would behoove Courtland Sutton and the run offense as well, since safeties would be on their toes throughout the game.
Atlanta Falcons
Defense
Offense
1/4
5/2
Atlanta could trade up for a defensive tackle or a linebacker. In the latter case, K’Lavon Chaisson is a strong option.
Dallas Cowboys
Defense
Offense
1/5
3/1
The Cowboys re-signed linebacker Sean Lee, but he’s on his last legs. Oklahoma product Kenneth Murray would add depth to the position.
