Guaranteed Human.

0:05.1

All right, and welcome into the betting pros podcast.

0:08.6

We are just now days away from the NFL draft being live from the Steel City.

0:13.2

So we're going to help you out from a gambling perspective and give you our top 10 best bets and a couple of long shots for the occasion.

0:19.7

I'm your host, Seth Wilcock, coming off a light night where I finished out my final

0:23.6

mock draft of the season.

0:24.8

Watch those opening scenes of draft day just to feel a little something.

0:28.8

And of course, back with me is the Sony Weaver of this particular program.

0:33.0

He's the GM, Derek Brown, Dibro.

0:35.3

How is the NFL draft betting card looking overall as we're just a few days away from Las Vegas Raiders being on the clock? We're doing good, man. I think I've got, I'm around 14 or 15 bets right now. I know we're going to wait until the, and as of recording this on Monday morning, we're probably going to get hopefully a few more markets that kind of open up. So, you know, stay in tune to our socials and stuff as we're tweeting out stuff that we're finding that we like that hopefully get added later this week. But it's wonderful, man. I mean, we've talked about this for weeks and weeks and weeks. And now we are finally here. It is the week of the NFL draft. The content's getting all published. We're

1:11.4

tying up final mock drafts. My top 100 is live on the site by the time you're listening to

1:17.2

this. By all my prospect primers are live, like we are just absolutely just tie in the bows on

1:23.7

things, Seth. It's a great time, dude. We are absolutely doing that. And, you know, as we're doing it, the flood state still open to NFL news and information, right? Even just this morning. RIP, your mock draft immediately. It hasn't even been live for an hour and you've got to go update things. Yep, that's what happens, though, you know, when you're, uh, when you're doing things last minute like we are. Thank you, San Francisco 49ers and Trent Williams, a paid man,

2:17.7

but not great for the moks. Big Trent's back, if you haven't heard, folks. He's back. No Blake Miller there for the San Francisco 49ers. But as noted on today's program, we're going to break down our best bets for the NFL draft betting markets. We're going to help you cash in one final time, really, before preseason ball kicks off from Tom Benson, All of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio this summer. And of course, if you enjoy this type of content, don't forget to subscribe to our audio feeds, the betting pros feed, the fantasy pros feed, the fantasy pros, dynasty, and the tailgate feed, plus their respective YouTube channels.

2:19.1

We'd really, really appreciate that.

2:39.2

And Derek, let's go ahead and jump into our best bets. I'm going to get us started here with a little bit of a longer shot one. It's Ty Simpson to go to the New York Jets plus 398. I've got about 0.6 of a unit down on this. And this one's simple for me, Derek. like the Jets quarterback room is Gino Smith, Brady Cook out of Missou, and Bailey zip on the ball is Zappi right now.

2:42.7

And their head coach, Aaron Glenn, is already on the hot seat for me.

2:53.7

With them having four picks in the first 44, including that valuable 30 third overall pick that they could use with one of their, you know, fourth or fifth round picks to move up back into the first.

3:00.4

I think it's possibly in play, especially with all the heat that we're hearing that the Cardinals are also going to potentially be aggressive on Ty Simpson.

3:26.0

So I just think like while I'm not going to say Simpsons better than Fernando and I'm definitely higher on him than I know you are based on our previous conversations on the NFL draft show. I still think he's a legit NFL ball thrower. I think he's great between the ears, and I think the Jets, they have to at least be in the mix with the Cardinals to potentially go get Ty Simpson. So at almost 4 to 1, I really like this play here on Ty Simpson. Yeah, Bailey Zippy says says hi by the way um shout out to that zip on the ball zappy baby that's what they used to call him back in the day

3:30.5

i mean dude my my thing with tie simpson is i don't hate the call with the jets and stuff like that
