π° Best NFL Draft Over/Under bets
Here are my five best Over/Under draft position bets tonight for the 2026 NFL Draft with odds from our best NFL betting sites as of Thursday, April 23:
β¬οΈ Sonny Styles (LB), Ohio State Under 5.5 (+100)
I do believe Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles is destined for either the fourth or fifth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Rumors are circulating that the Arizona Cardinals, who hold the No. 3 pick, are looking to move out, and I believe the Tennessee Titans will take Styles at No. 4. If the Titans do not take Styles, I anticipate the Giants snagging the Buckeyes star.
β¬οΈ Jermod McCoy (CB), Tennessee Under 28.5 (+130)
Jermod McCoy is an interesting case, as he is arguably the most talented cornerback in the draft but has been dealing with a lingering knee injury for quite some time now. The only question marks surrounding McCoy are his health, and I believe his talent is good enough that he will still be taken before the 29th pick in the first round.
β¬οΈ Spencer Fano (OT), Utah Under 10.5 (-130)
Spencer Fano is another interesting prospect that I expect to be taken comfortably under the 10.5 line here. I currently have Fano going to the Browns at pick No. 6. The Browns are also a trade-down candidate, and even if they move back to the ninth pick, as has been rumored, I believe they will still go with Fano in that spot. His positional value and consistency make him a strong fit in the top 10.
β¬οΈ Caleb Downs (S), Ohio State, Under 9.5 (-105)
Caleb Downs might be the best overall player in the draft; the only problem is that he plays safety. The position simply does not carry as much value as other premium spots across the field. Downs is the exception, however, and I do believe a team will take a chance on him within the top nine picks. His elite instincts, range, and playmaking ability separate him from typical prospects at the position, making him a true difference-maker who can immediately elevate a defense at the next level.
β¬οΈ Carnell Tate (WR), Ohio State, Over 7.5 (+105)
We have made it to my first Over in my draft predictions, as Carnell Tate will likely fall in tonightβs NFL Draft. Tate is an elite WR2, but he is not a WR1 worthy of such a high draft pick. Jordyn Tyson has emerged as the true WR1 weapon in this class, and I believe draft boards will reflect that. While Tate brings strong route-running and reliable hands, teams at the top of the draft typically prioritize game-breaking upside, which may ultimately push him slightly down the board.
⬇️ Who will be drafted in the top 10?
Ahead of the first round tonight, I dove into the NFL draft prediction markets for the top 10 picks - offering my prediction for each pick with a focus on three players that undervalued heading into Round 1.
