NFL Mock Based On Gambling: Cowboys Will Draft K'Lavon Chaisson

Using Gambling Odds to Create An NFL Mock Draft, The Dallas Cowboys At No. 17 Get LSU Pass-Rusher K'Lavon Chaisson

FRISCO - What if the 2020 NFL Draft unfolds, in order, according to the gambling odds?

Then the Dallas Cowboys at No. 17 get K'Lavon Chiasson, the LSU pass-rusher, that's what.

Our Green Bay buddy Bill Huber hooks us up with the oddsmakers at SportsBettingDime.com and is based upon the actual over/under NFL Draft props being offered by the major sportsbooks on when players will be selected, the first player to be selected at each position, and the number of players at each position to be selected in the first round. (Trades were created to ensure a player was picked in his average draft position by a team with the specific need; The six first-round picks that were swapped via manufactured trades are indicated with an asterisk.)

2. Washington Redskins Chase Young

From a Dallas standpoint, there is not much out of whack here. Some inside The Star might be disappointed that the cornerback Henderson wasn't available at 17. But the passing on receivers and the leaning on defense, in the form of Chaisson? We're not yet ready to literally bet on it ... but it rings pretty true.
