2020 NFL Draft Selections and Betting Outcomes

1. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals selected quarterback Joe Burrow out of LSU with the No. 1 overall pick, which was expected per his eye-opening odds at -100000. In order to win $100 on those odds, bettors would've had to risk $100,000. Another expensive prop that cashed with Burrow was based on the Bengals choice of offense (-3500) over defense (+1400) with their first selection.

Position: QB (4)
School: Utah State (1)

Offense-Defense: 16-12
Position: LB (4)
School: LSU (4)
Conference: SEC (12)

29. Tennessee Titans

The Titans were adamant about improving up front and picked 350-pound project Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia. The Brooklyn, NY native helps the 'over' cash on hog mollies selected in Thursday's first round.

Position: G (1), OL (7)
School: Georgia (2)
Conference: SEC (13)

30. Miami Dolphins (from Green Bay)

Position: CB (5)
School: Auburn (2)

Position: CB (6)
School: TCU (2)
Conference: Big-12 (5)

32. Kansas City Chiefs

The defending champs close out the 2020 first round by picking LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire, which means the reigning college champs landed five first-rounders and book-ended Thursday's action. He helped those who had the 'over' on running backs selected cash with a last gasp and extended the SEC's single-season record for first-round picks.

Offense-Defense: 18-14
Position: RB (1)
School: LSU (5)
Conference: SEC (15)
