BO NIX   +8500
CALEB WILLIAMS +8500
DRAKE MAYE -135  
J.J. MCCARTHY +325   
JAYDEN DANIELS +150
JOE ALT +6500
MALIK NABERS +6500
MARVIN HARRISON Jr. +2000  
MICHAEL PENIX Jr. +8500  

So which is the best bet based on what we are hearing leading up to Thursday's NFL Draft?

ESPN's Mel Kiper, Field Yates and Matt Miller have Maye going No. 3 overall.  They're mixed on where he is going.  Kiper and Yates have Maye going to the Patriots, who do pick third.  Miller has the Vikings trading up with New England.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer said on Sports Sunday that it's "pretty unlikely" the Patriots trade down and it's "probably Drake Maye" at No. 3.

There is one blockbuster move that could end up paying gamblers plenty.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer shared intel on the Patriots' meeting with Washington QB Michael Penix.   That's an $8500 payout if it should happen!

"The three guys they were going to have in were Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy, and then late in the process, they added Michael Penix to the meeting list," Breer said. "I have it on pretty good authority that it's in the case that they do trade down, that they'd be prepared for that. I still think they stick and pick at No. 3, but they're at least preparing for the contingency that they could trade down."
