Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Quentin Johnston headline the wide receiver mock drafts
There were six wide receivers taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. We will not have a repeat of that in the 2023 NFL Draft.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Over/Under on wide receivers drafted in the first round at 3.5, but there is heavy juice on the over at -190, while the under sits at +150. All six WR last season were taken from 8th to 18th and it was a pretty productive group, including Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson, who went 10th as the second WR off the board.
Ohio State won’t be quite as well-represented in this year’s first round after having Wilson and Chris Olave back-to-back, along with Jameson Williams at 12, who was originally at Ohio State before transferring to Alabama. Jaxson Smith-Njigba is -275 to be the first wide receiver drafted. What happens after him will determine whether or not this prop goes over or under.
