NFL Draft best bets: Who will be the first wide receiver drafted?

This, for many, is the most fun part of the NFL year.

The 2023 NFL Draft is almost here, starting with Day 1 kicking off Thursday in Kansas City. Much like the Super Bowl, this affair is an event made for prop bets. I am going to look at one such bet here.

Below, I analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's draft odds for NFL prospects and tab who will be the first wide receiver drafted - just part of SportsbookWire's many expert picks and predictions among our NFL best bets.

After years of meteoric receiver drafts, the 2023 group is a bit of a letdown. There are not many big receivers in this draft. The only true big man, Quentin Johnston (TCU), has questions about his hands.

While the little man will reign this season, which one will be the question still to be answered.

Will Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State) put aside his missed 2022 and get credit for an incredible 2021? Will Josh Downs get propped up after being able to succeed with two different quarterbacks at North Carolina?

All the receivers in the 2023 NFL Draft have issues, which we need to sort through before deciding on which one is best for our favorite team. All we know is that they'll all be drafted.

So, now we must decide which one goes first Thursday.
