Bet on Packers to select a cornerback with first pick in NFL Draft

We are just hours away from the NFL Draft and if you're looking to bet on what the Green Bay Packers are going to do with their first pick, I'm here to help you out.

According to the oddsmakers, the two biggest possibilties for which position the Packers will select with their first pick are offensive line and cornerback. Despite being the second most likely option, I'm willing to bet on the Packers drafting some help for their secondary.

Let's take a look at the odds and then I'll let you know why I think that's the case.

Bet on Packers to draft CB with first pick in NFL Draft

In my article over on BetSided where I broke down my five favorite bets for the NFL Draft, I broke down why I'm willing to bet on the Packers to select a cornerback with their first pick:

"The Green Bay Packers have drafted only one offensive player, Jordan Love, dating all the way back to 2012. If that trend continues, there's a great chance they select a cornerback to help boost their secondary."

"They need a No. 2 cornerback to help support Jaire Alexander and their new safety Xavier McKinney. Cornerback is second on the odds list for the Packers to select behind offensive line and there would be plenty of options at that position when they pick at No. 25."

Betting on the NFL Draft isn't about wagering on what you would do if you were the general manager of your favorite team. Rather, we should be betting based on what general managers have shown their tendencies to be. If we do that, it should be clear why we should bet on Brian Gutekunst and company to draft a defender with their first pick.
