Once one NFL season ends, a new one begins almost immediately.
The Super Bowl ended just under two weeks ago and bettors have already turned their attention toward the NFL Draft.
And since the draft is on the horizon, that means the combine is right around the corner. As a matter of fact, the scouting combine begins in just over a week.
Let’s get a round of applause for more football.
Essentially, the combine plus the draft means that NFL odds are posted at most sportsbooks and are already getting some action from bettors looking to make a few bucks during the “off” season.
With that in mind, I’ve got some best bets as we head into this next phase of the NFL calendar.
No. 2 overall pick to be Jayden Daniels +155
I’d love to loudly proclaim who the second overall pick will be, but I don’t know. No one knows.
Caleb Williams is going first overall. That much we know. Whether it’s to the Bears is still in question.
The Commanders, who pick second overall, could trade up to first for Williams. He is from the Washington D.C. area and new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury worked with Williams this past season at USC. If that happens, the Bears would move to No. 2 and draft the next highest-rated quarterback on their board. If that trade doesn’t happen and the Commanders keep the second pick, I could make a case for both of the remaining QBs to be drafted here.
Drake Maye is Josh Allen. He’s a supreme athlete with a huge arm who can make all the throws, but needs some refinement in his game. Daniels’ play is closer to what Kingsbury had when he was head coach for the Arizona Cardinals and Texas Tech.
So, with no knowledge of what the Commanders are thinking and the very real possibility that Daniels has a higher grade than Maye, it might be worthwhile to take the plus money with Daniels over the favorite in Maye for the second pick.
PICK: Jayden Daniels…
