With the 2014 NFL Draft just days away, Bovada has released its latest betting odds for the event.
As would be expected, Jadeveon Clowney is the odds-on favorite to come off the board first. However, that's far from a lock at this point. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that the Houston Texans will consider taking linebacker Khalil Mack No. 1 overall instead. They're also rumored to be shopping the top pick, meaning a team bent on taking a quarterback could trade up for Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles.
NFL Mock Draft
The number of offensive and defensive players drafted in the first round is another interesting bet. In SB Nation's latest mock, we have a 15/17 split in favor of the defense.
Another intriguing line is who will be drafted first between Mack and wideout Sammy Watkins. The St. Louis Rams have been linked to Watkins with the No. 2 pick, though SI.com's Peter King reported on Monday that the team was leaning toward offensive tackle Greg Robinson. Assuming Mack doesn't go No. 1, his next likely landing spot would be at No. 3 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Our latest mock has him going there, with Watkins going No. 4 to the Cleveland Browns.
