The biggest overall market for tonight’s NFL draft is without a doubt the third pick overall, but the biggest bets are on the No. 1 pick.

Wait, really?

Yes. Everyone’s going with the free money theory. The top three bets we’ve found at sportsbooks are all on Trevor Lawrence to the Jaguars.

Yes, nearly all sportsbook still have the prop up, albeit at -10,000 (risking $10,000 to win $100).

The biggest bet we’ve found is at BetMGM. A bettor caught Lawrence at -1250 and will net $4,000 off his $50,000 bet if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell calls the former Clemson Tigers quarterback’s name first.

PointsBet’s top three bets are also on Lawrence.

  • $18,000 to win $180.
  • $15,500 to win $155.
  • $8,500 to win $85.

Free money is free money, but those bets are hard to wrap their head around.
