Oddsmakers have the Falcons trading out of the fourth spot in the NFL draft and taking Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain with the ninth overall pick and picking up the 31st pick, which was used to take Alabama running back Najee Harris in SportsBettingDime.com’s First Round NFL Mock Draft 1.0, which was released Tuesday.
The Sports Betting Dime First Round NFL Mock Draft 1.0 from the oddsmakers is based upon the actual over/under NFL Draft props being offered by the major sportsbooks including, but not limited to: odds to be a top-5/10 pick, player draft position over/unders, odds to be first player taken at each position, first-round position totals, offense or defense with first pick for each team.
Trades were created to ensure a player was picked in his average draft position by a team with the specific need. The seven first-round picks that were swapped via manufactured trades are indicated by an asterisk.
Last year, the @SBD NFL Mock Draft correctly predicted 8 of the top 13 picks and 23 of the 32 players eventually selected in the first round. Additionally, @SBD was correct that a team would trade up to select Jordan Love, but incorrectly had the Colts jumping to 22 as opposed to the Packers sliding up to 26.
