NFL Draft betting 2010: Ndamukong Suh odds-on to be first pick

- 21 Feb 2010

With just two months left to the 2010 NFL Draft, Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is a red-hot favourite to be the first player picked.

St Louis Rams are scheduled to make the opening choice and have already expressed their admiration for the 6ft 4in 300lbs college star.

Steve Spagnuolo is a coach who loves to build his teams around a strong defence and Suh is currently trading at just 2/9 on Betfair to have his name called out first.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the No 1 overall pick in the NFL draft 2010," Suh told NFL.com. "With it comes great responsibility, which I think I can handle."

However, with the Rams currently involved in talks over a change of ownership, there is still some debate over which direction they will go in.

Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is next best in this market, whilst quarterback prospects Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen also figure prominently.

Should the Rams wish to take a signal caller, however, it seems almost certtain they will trade down from top spot in order to acquire more picks, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly among those looking to move up for Suh.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be one of the most controversial characters in this year's draft after a stellar college career and some outspoken comments off the field and punters can also bet on which round he will be taken in.

Tebow has slipped out of a first-round projection following his performance at the Senior Bowl and it is now odds-on with Betfair that he falls to the second wave.

“First round after the Senior Bowl may have gone out the window," said ESPN analyst Mel Kiper. "I never thought Tim Tebow was an NFL quarterback. I’ve said that for three years now.

"I told Tim that directly on two occasions, I think he’s an H-back. But is somebody gonna draft him as a quarterback? Yeah, I think they will, but now I think it’s second or third round. It would very much surprise me if he went in the first round now.”
