The 2022 NFL Draft presents unique betting opportunities due to its unusual quarterback class and varying team needs. Here are the top 3 value bets to consider:

Kenny Pickett First QB Selected (+125)

• Led Pitt to first 11-win season since 1989 and first outright conference title
• Impressive 2021 stats: 4,319 yards, 42 touchdowns
• More NFL-ready than Malik Willis (-170)
• Likely top-15 pick with strong Panthers connection at #6

Under 2.5 QBs in First Round (+188)

• Only Pickett and Wilson widely projected as first-round locks
• Other prospects (Howell, Ridder, Corral) likely to slide to second round
• Many QB-needy teams already addressed position through free agency
• Weak quarterback class encourages teams to address other needs

Under 1.5 Safeties in First Round (+130)

• Kyle Hamilton only consensus first-round safety
• No other safety prospects ranked in top 75
• Strong offensive line and edge rusher class will dominate early picks
• Limited top-end safety talent makes under a strong value play

These bets capitalize on the draft's unique dynamics while offering positive expected value based on current market prices and team needs.
