2026 NFL Draft
Total Quarterbacks Drafted in First Round
Over 1.5: -250 (bet $10 to win $14 total)
Under 1.5: +180 (bet $10 to win $228 total)
What to know: According to FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz, one more quarterback will accompany Mendoza as a first-round pick, although he doesn’t particularly agree with the strategy. “I wouldn’t draft Ty Simpson in the first round, but I’m not the Jets,” he wrote. “The long history of NFL failure for players who started only one year in college would concern me. But it appears the Jets seem unbothered by this.”
Total Cornerbacks Drafted in First Round
Over 4.5: +425 (bet $10 to win $52.50 total)
Under 4.5: -700 (bet $10 to win $11.43 total)
Total Offensive Linemen Drafted in First Round
Over 7.5: -300 (bet $10 to win $13.33 total)
Under 7.5: +220 (bet $10 to win $32 total)
Total Running Backs Drafted in First Round
Over 1.5: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Under 1.5: -700 (bet $10 to win $14 total)
What to know: Could there be only one running back drafted in the first round in 2026? The Over/Under suggests that could be the case, with Under 1.5 having the shortest odds in this spot. But Lead College Football Analyst Joel Klatt disagrees. He has Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price — both from Notre Dame — coming off the board in Round 1. “A lot of people believe Love is the best non-quarterback in the draft. Arizona would get a running back who can move between the tackles, hit home runs on the outside and catch passes as a slot receiver,” Klatt wrote about Love. About Price, he continued, saying, “I know Price was Love’s backup, but he’s clearly the second-best running back in this draft.”
Total Safeties Drafted in First Round
Over 2.5: -210 (bet $10 to win $14.76 total)
Under 2.5: +155 (bet $10 to win $25.50 total)
Total Tight Ends Drafted in First Round
Over 1.5: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total)
Under 1.5: -2000 (bet $10 to win $10.50 total)
Total Wide Receivers Drafted in First Round
Over 5.5: -165 (bet $10 to win $16.06 total)
Under 5.5: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)
What to know: Several NFL squads will look to fill the WR position in 2026, and for some, the search for their next great wide out begins in April. But exactly how many receivers will come off the board in the first round? In his most recent mock draft, Klatt has five — Carnell Tate (Ohio State), Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State), Makai Lemon (USC), Omar Cooper (Indiana) and Denzel Boston (Washington). Schwartz, on the other hand, has five. His include Tate, Lemon, Cooper, KC Concepcion and Tyson.
