2022 NFL Draft insider notes: Best prop bets to make, including Malik Willis landing with Saints, Over on QBs

Jason La Canfora reveals nine draft prop bets that are offering good value

The NFL draft, from what I am told, has become one of the most widely bet upon sports events in this country. Not exactly an upset, considering the draft becoming a year-round cottage industry, the nexus of pro and college football fandom and the multitude of ways to make a wager or two over this coming weekend.

There are myriad ways to try to find value, numerous futures bets and props to dig down on, and, it stands to reason, perhaps better odds of being able to strategically find an area where the house might not be as prone to win. There are fewer variables than, say, all of the potential things that can occur anytime 22 men are moving around on a football field with an oblong ball that can bounce in unquantifiable ways on every single snap. With the draft, there are commonly known needs, and teams have certain profiles and attributes they tend to gravitate to.

In years past I have done my own over/unders on how many players I anticipate going at each position in the draft. But this year I am going to look at the Caesars Sportsbook odds at numerous positions, and some individual bets, where I see potential value. Things get too dicey these days between what constitutes an OLB or a DE, and what is EDGE and what is DL. That gets clouded. So I'm not going to go through every position with a projection, but will focus on some that catch my eye, as well as certain team/players matches that make sense to me.
