Latest NFL Draft odds update

April 18, 2024: Caleb Williams’ odds of going No.1 overall to the Chicago Bears are shortening with every passing minute. What was -10,000 just last week is now -20,000 and rightfully so. However, behind him is where it gets interesting. Thursday morning I wrote that Jayden Daniels appeared to be the choice at No.2 with his odds shortening from -155 to -330. Well, fast forward to 9 p.m. ET and that may not be the case anymore. Drake Maye has shot up the board from +250 to -115, which is the same odds as Daniels. Do the Commanders know something we don’t?

How to bet on the 2024 NFL Draft

Sportsbooks will post odds for the player to go first overall in the draft as soon the previous year’s draft is over. Once the college football season begins in September, these odds could change weekly depending on how players are performing as well as the evaluations of trusted draftniks such as Mel Kiper Jr.

In addition, this NFL futures bet may also take into account the team needs of the worst team(s) in the NFL.

After the NCAA football season is over, NFL Draft odds will solidify after key events such as the underclassmen declaration deadline, the NFL Scouting Combine and pro days. In the weeks leading up to the draft, sportsbooks will offer more NFL Draft prop bets. 

Understanding NFL Draft odds

The odds to go first overall in the NFL Draft will typically look like this:

This means that if you placed a $100 bet on Maye, you would win $550 if the Tar Heels QB goes first overall in 2024. When you get closer to the draft and there is a consensus on who will go first overall, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:

This means that you’d have to bet $450 to win $100 on Williams being drafted first overall.
