- The latest over/under odds on when top college players will be selected in the NFL Draft has seen movement in the lines of several players
- Who’s up? Who’s down? And who’s worth a wager?
- Analysis of the numbers and answers to these questions are right here in the story that follows
The NFL Draft is just days away, and the movers and shakers are shaking up the movement on the draft board.
By now, you’ve studied, and no doubt mocked as many mock drafts as humanly possible in a bid to nail down exactly who’s going where and when. And yet, for all the experts and so-called insiders stating their case, there will still be complete surprises on draft night.
There are players who will go up. Other players will drop down.
In some instances, that data is already being reflected in the odds board as far as over/under betting lines on the top NFL Draft prospects. A month ago, the first over/under props were released. That betting market has since been updated.
Let’s look at who’s predicted to be doing the climbing, and who’s assessed to be falling, and determine if they can in fact get up.

Odds taken April 21st
The first round of the NFL Draft is slated for April 23rd at 8:00 pm EST.
NFL Draft Over/Unders: Going Up
These players are showing improvement in their over/under line since the posting of the previous betting market.
Pulling the Ruggs
Among a draft class rich in wide receivers, Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III is the best deep threat in the bunch. And that’s piqued the interest of a lot of NFL teams.
There’s been speculation that Ruggs could leapfrog past college teammate Jerry Jeudy and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb and be the first wideout off the board. Talk is that the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are interested in trading up to get a crack at putting Ruggs on the other end of some Patrick Mahomes aerials.

— NFL (@NFL) April 15, 2020
In the first round of NFL Draft over/unders, Ruggs was assigned a total of 15.5. He’s since been lowered to 13.5.
That might be too soon.
Pick: Over 13.5 (-115)
Wills On His Way
Some teams believe Alabama’s Jedrick Wills is the best tackle available in the draft. He allowed just one quarterback sack over the past two seasons.
Wills was at a total of 10.5 in the first round of NFL Draft over/unders. He’s now at 8.5.

The thing is, Wills is a right tackle. And left tackle is considered the most valuable position to fortify on the offensive line since that’s the player who protects a right-handed QB’s blind side.
Pick: Over 8.5 (+175)
Laying Down the Kinlaw
South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw is considered a disruptive presence along the interior defensive line. He can create matchup problems for an offensive line.

— Mike Gillespie (@MikeAGillespie) April 20, 2020
He can stuff the run and pressure the QB. Kinlaw recorded six sacks and six tackles for losses playing in the tough SEC.
Since the first NFL Draft over/unders were posted, Kinlaw has seen his stock improve from 15.5 to 13. 5.
Pick: Over 13.5 (-130)
Brown Moving Uptown
There was only a slight uptick in Derrick Brown’s over/under status. His total was 8.5, and now it’s 7.5.
Yet it still might not be low enough. Several NFL teams are asking what Brown could do for them.

There’s even been speculation that the Detroit Lions could make a bold move for the Auburn consensus All-American defensive tackle with the third overall selection.
Pick: Under 7.5 (+155)
NFL Draft Over/Unders: Going Down
These players are showing a decline in their over/under line since the posting of the previous betting market.
No Franchise Tagovailoa
Every NFL Draft, there’s a highly-rated player who plummets down the board. Might Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa be this year’s nominee to take a Humpty Dumpty-like fall?
Certainly, there’s reasonable doubt with Tua. The dislocated hip he suffered last season, coupled with the COVID-19 outbreak that prohibited his working out for teams could hurt Tagovailoa’s status.

— Michael Casagrande (@ByCasagrande) April 17, 2020
There’s also been loud talk of late about an embarrassingly low score on his Wonderlic test. It all could add up to a mighty slide for Tua on draft day.
He was originally pegged with a total of 2.5. That’s faded to 5.5.
Pick: Over 5.5 (-160)
Love Hurts
Utah State QB Jordan Love is considered a high-risk prospect. There’s no questioning his athleticism.
However, Love was picked off an FBS-high 17 times last season. Out of 105 QBs who’ve attended the NFL Combine since 2014, only three showed a higher interception percentage than Love’s 3.6.
Is Utah State QB Jordan Love worthy of a first-round pick?

— Stadium (@Stadium) April 18, 2020
The early NFL Draft over/unders were showing Love on the cusp of the top 10 at 13.5. In these odds, he’s slid all the way to 19.5. That might not be low enough.
Pick: Over 19.5 (-155)
