You’d have to be living under a rock if you didn’t hear about what Anthony Richardson did at the NFL Combine this weekend.

The former Florida Gators quarterback wasn’t even a Heisman candidate in college but is now being heralded as one of – if not the most – athletic quarterback prospects in NFL history.

No prospect has seen their odds make a roller-coaster-like shift more than Richardson has, but there was also significant movement beyond the former Gator.

I think there’s both good value to find and bad value to avoid from this latest odds shift that you could cash in on this April, especially if you take advantage of the new-user offer going on right now at Caesars Sportsbook.

Latest NFL Draft Odds

Not even two months ago, Richardson was listed at +8000 odds to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Now, he’s listed with the second-best odds at +300! Long considered the fourth-best QB prospect in the draft, Richardson overtook Will Levis and CJ Stroud to now trail only Bryce Young.

The odds shift has been monumental for the 6-foot-4, 244-pound quarterback who calls himself ‘Cam Jackson,’ blending the names of NFL quarterbacks Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.

Richardson recorded the highest-ever vertical for a quarterback at 40.5 inches, the best-ever broad jump for a quarterback at 10 feet, 9-inches and the fourth-best 40-yard dash time for a QB in combine history at 4.44 (behind only Michael Vick, Robert Griffin III, and Reggie McNeal).

It’s easy to see why Richardson’s odds have jumped so much, and you can still get some good value on them if you think the uber-athletic quarterback can gain even more hype over the next two months.

But don’t be tricked by the odds.

Bryce Young remained a steady favorite to be selected at No. 1 overall, and while his odds haven’t jumped like Richardson’s, they’ve only continued to get shorter.

Young measured in at 5-foot-10, 204 pounds, quieting the chatter that he was too small to go No. 1 overall. He’s currently listed as a -200 favorite.

There are TONS of ways to bet on the NFL Draft other than just who will go No. 1 or who will be the first QB taken. You can bet on the first defensive player to be selected, go position-by-position, or try to guess the exact order for the first few picks.

You can get a great value on the NFL Draft if you have a good feel for how your team will draft or if you think you have a strong hunch on a player.

Don’t forget to lock in your chance to swing big on great odds with full insurance. Sign up with Caesars today before their offer ends.
