Thursday’s first round of the NFL Draft was filled with drama, intrigue and surprises galore as NFL Draft picks heard their names called. In other words , it was business as usual.

When Is the NFL Draft Friday?
The selections resume on Friday, April 28 at 7pm ET with NFL Draft picks by team for the second and third round. The process will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network.
Levis In Free Fall
Every NFL Draft there’s at least one high-profile player whose stock plummets. This year’s poster boy is Levis.
Who knows the origins of that Reddit rumor suggesting Levis was going first overall? The reality is that 31 NFL teams determined the Kentucky QB wasn’t worthy of a first-round selection. It also means that some NFL team can land themselves a QB with curious potential during the second round.

It’s a tie between the LA Rams and Tennessee Titans at +350 odds as to who will potentially draft QB Will Levis who has fallen past Day 1. Odds as of April 28th at DraftKings Sportsbook.
There are four teams within the first seven picks of the second round who could use a QB – the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders.
Will Levis eats banana peels and puts mayo in his coffee and it’s possible NFL teams just drew the line with that and said no way.

Looking at that list, Levis seems like an ideal fit with the Raiders. They like players with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Certainly, Levis is going to fill that bill.
Best Bet: Las Vegas Raiders +800
Hooker Slip Slidin’ Away
If there was a highly-rated QB who most figured to slide into Day 2 of the NFL Draft odds, Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker was that guy. He’s coming off a major knee injury. On top of that, he’s already 25 years old.
NFL Team to Draft Hendon Hooker
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Minnesota Vikings | +350 |
| Las Vegas Raiders | +550 |
| Seattle Seahawks | +550 |
| Washington Commanders | +800 |
| Los Angeles Rams | +850 |
| Detroit Lions | +1000 |
| Tennessee Titans | +1000 |
| Atlanta Falcons | +2000 |
| New Orleans Saints | +2000 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | +2000 |
| Denver Broncos | +2500 |
| New England Patriots | +2500 |
| Green Bay Packers | +2500 |
| Miami Dolphins | +2500 |
| San Francisco 49ers | +3000 |
| Arizona Cardinals | +4000 |
| Dallas Cowboys | +4000 |
| New York Giants | +4000 |
The favored Minnesota Vikings don’t have a second-round pick, so for them to get Hooker, he’ll need to slide to Round 3. That scenario certainly isn’t out of the question. There’d be a romantic quality if the Titans were to select the Tennessee QB but it’s unlikely they’ll take Hooker at 41st overall.

The Lions require insurance behind Jared Goff and they happen to hold a trio of second-round picks. It would be logical for them to spend one on a QB, probably their third choice at 55th overall.
Pick: Detroit Lions +1000
Dolphins Finally Get On Board
Miami lost a first-round pick for tampering and dealt another pick for Bradley Chubb. The Dolphins will finally step up to the podium at 51st overall in the second round.
Position of Miami Dolphins First Pick
| Position | Odds |
|---|---|
| Tight End | +150 |
| Offensive Lineman | +350 |
| Running Back | +400 |
| Defensive Lineman/EDGE | +500 |
| Wide Receiver | +800 |
| Linebacker | +800 |
| Safety | +1200 |
| Cornerback | +1500 |
| Quarterback | +1500 |
| Kicker/Punter/Long Snapper | +20000 |
The club will likely be looking to beef up at the offensive skill positions. A running back like UCLA’s Zach Charbonnet is a possibility. There’s going to be a run on tight ends during the second round and that will lead the Dolphins to get in on that action, perhaps a project like South Dakota State’s Tyler Kraft.
Pick: Tight End +150
