The 2023 NFL Draft is just about a week away, and the NFL news cycle is certainly ramping up. If you’re someone who likes to dabble in NFL Draft betting, you’ve probably noticed that odds for virtually every prop have changed over the past few days, and it’s likely they will continue to change into next week. If you think you’re having a tough time figuring out which wagers to place, imagine what NFL general managers are dealing with right now.
