If we are being honest, the 2020 NFL Draft truly begins with the Detroit Lions at the No. 3 overall pick. That’s because LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is a -10000 favorite to go first overall and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young -3000 to go second. Burrow is going to the Cincinnati Bengals, while the Washington Redskins pick No. 2.
While there’s all but a zero percent chance the Bengals trade the top pick, it’s possible the Redskins could trade out of their spot if some team wants to pay a big price and move up to take one of the other top quarterback prospects. Young is the huge -7500 favorite to be the first defensive player off the board, and most scouts rank him as the No. 1 overall prospect in this draft.
There’s talk the Lions would like to trade down from No. 3 to pick up more picks, but the current favorite to go third is Ohio State defensive back Jeff Okudah at even money. Keep in mind that on these draft spot props, it doesn’t matter which team takes a player just that said player goes in that slot for betting purposes.
