First defensive lineman drafted
Result: Jaelan Phillips (+140). Phillips has been selected at No. 18 overall by the Miami Dolphins. He edges out fellow edge rusher Kwity Paye to be the first DL off the board. Paye had been the favorite at -150. After Phillips and Paye were Christian Barmore at +500 and Gregory Rousseau at +1000.
Jaelan Phillips draft position
Result: 18. Phillips slides one spot under his draft position over/under, which was 19.5 heading into Thursday. The under was favored at -130, while the over had +105 odds. He had +1200 odds to be the first defender off the board.

Mac Jones draft position
Result: 15. Jones' draft position prop was taken off the board in light of the late volatility in the No. 3 overall pick market, but it's safe to say that over bettors will cash on this.

Result: Jaycee Horn (+125). Surtain was also the favorite to be the first cornerback off the board at -200.
Penei Sewell draft position
Result: 7. Sewell's draft position over/under was 6.5 heading into the draft meaning the over (+101) would have hit. The under was favored at -125. Sewell was also listed at -715 odds to be drafted as a top 10 pick.

Result: Offensive lineman (+300). This comes as a bit of a surprise since WR was the betting-favorite heading into the draft at +140, followed by OL at +300, QB at +400 and CB at +700. The Lions desperately needed a wideout after the departures of both Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones this offseason, but OL help from Penei Sewell will be much appreciated as well. Detroit was heavily favored to take an offensive player at -305 odds.
Jaylen Waddle draft position

Position of the Bengals' first draft pick
Result: Wide receiver. This prop was taken off the board leading up to the draft, but WR was the favorite at -225 heading into Thursday, followed by offensive lineman at +175.
First non-QB drafted
Result: Kyle Pitts (-400). Pitts was the heavy favorite to be the first non-QB off the board, followed by WR Ja'Marr Chase at +300 and OL Penei Sewell at +700.
Kyle Pitts draft position
Result: 4. Pitts' draft position was taken off the board leading up to the draft, but would have hit the under.
Position of the Falcons' first draft pick
Result: Tight end (-305). TE was favored at -305 to be the Falcons' first pick, followed by QB at +300, WR at +1000, OL at +1600 and CB at +2500.
BYU's Zach Wilson has been the heavy favorite to be the second name off the board for weeks with almost no movement in the betting market. The New York Jets — who ultimately lost the "Tank for Trevor" contest after winning two games in 2020 — seem content with settling for Wilson as their consolation prize at No. 2 to replace 2018 first-rounder Sam Darnold.
The focal point leading up to the draft — both from a betting and general interest standpoint — has been the No. 3 overall pick. The third pick is held by the San Francisco 49ers, who traded up with the Miami Dolphins from pick 12 to presumably select a quarterback. The odds have been shifting constantly over the last two weeks and most acutely over the hours leading up to the draft.
Alabama's Mac Jones led the pack for the last two weeks, but dropped behind North Dakota State's Trey Lance amid new reports that the 49ers' earlier "interest" may have been a smokescreen.
Third overall pick
Result: Trey Lance (-150). The pick the entire sports betting community has been waiting for. The betting market for this selection has swung drastically over the last day. Odds closed with Lance favored at -150, Mac Jones at +150 and Justin Fields at +600. Lance's odds to be a top 10 pick were -1000. His draft position was taken off the board leading up to the draft in light of the last-minute volatility, but suffice it to say that the under would have hit.
Second overall pick
Result: Zach Wilson (-10000). This feels like another pro forma pick since Wilson was -10000 to be drafted No. 2 overall. He has been the heavy favorite for weeks with little movement in the betting market and joins the Jets to replace Sam Darnold as the team's most recent QB project.
First overall pick
Result: Trevor Lawrence (-10000). This comes as no surprise since Lawrence was -10000 to be drafted No. 1 overall and there was minimal movement in the betting market up to this point. He joins the Jacksonville Jaguars as the new face of their franchise.
All odds mentioned were taken from DraftKings SportsBook on Thursday, April 29 approximately 30 minutes before the start of the draft unless otherwise noted.
With Round 1 of the long-awaited 2021 NFL Draft (nearly) underway, we will be tracking the outcomes of many of the high-profile props as they are settled.
The NFL Draft prop market was robust this year with hundreds of different options available at each sports book.
The Nos. 1 and 2 overall picks have seemingly been decided for weeks now, and the betting market for those picks has been stagnant.
Clemson's Trevor Lawrence has been favored to be the first pick off the board since the conclusion of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2020 and led the Tigers to a College Football Playoff title in 2018. His dominance above his closest competition led to the "Tank for Trevor" contest, which the Jacksonville Jaguars ultimately won after finishing with a NFL-worst 1-15 record.
