Bet on Each Player to be Picked First for Each Position in the NFL Draft

BetUS has prop bets for the 2023 NFL Draft that include the first player for each position to be selected.

Who Will Be the First Running Back to be Selected - NFL Draft?

Bijan Robinson is not a good bet.  That's because he is such a massive favorite (-10000) as arguably the best running back in this year's Draft, there is little value in wagering on him.

Better value can be found on the team to draft Robinson first.  In this case, the Atlanta Falcons are the favorites with a payout of $20 for every $10 bet.

Who Will Be the First Wide Receiver to be Picked - 2023 NFL Draft?

Jaxon Smith-Njigba comes in as the -350 favorite here.  That's a doable and likely winnable wager.

In his college career, the former Ohio State Buckeyes receiver recorded 110 receptions for 1,698 yards and 10 touchdowns over the course of 23 games.

"This guy is going to lead the league in receptions at some point in his first three or four years," Fox Sports color commentator Joel Klatt said on 'The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast' recently.  "If an offensive coordinator is worth their soul at all, I think he has 75 catches as a rookie," Klatt said. "If he's got a great quarterback, which in this instance it would be a rookie in C.J. Stroud, so I don't think he would get to the mark that I'm about to say. But, let's just say, sake of argument, Smith-Njigba goes to some place with a veteran quarterback. I think he'd have 90 catches in his first year. He's that good."

Who Will Be the First Cornerback to be Picked - 2023 NFL Draft?

While  Devon Witherspoon might be the -210 favorite, don't overlook Christian Gonzalez.  His payout potential is $160 on a $100 bet.

OverTheCap.com contributor Brad Spielberger believes Gonzalez is the right option here.

"I think Christian Gonzalez is the pick here, for sure. I don't know why this market keeps swinging back and forth. I know a lot of it is tied to mock drafts. A lot of it is tied to, oh, Devin Witherspoon can eat glass with Dan Campbell and all these picture perfect things.  I would be shocked. I would be downright shocked if it's not Christian Gonzalez first."
