Fanatics Sportsbook has a boatload of NFL Draft markets available this week. Beyond odds on where each player will be picked, the book also has props on “Mr. Irrelevant,” draft specials like “the total number of SEC Players drafted in Round 1,” and head-to-head player matchups. Below, we’ll take a glance at some of the more niche markets available this draft season.
Mr. Irrelevant odds
Each year, the last player picked in the NFL Draft is dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant.”
The most successful “Mr. Irrelevant” we’ve seen is the current starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Brock Purdy. Purdy was pick No. 262 in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Fanatics Sportsbook currently has odds on the exact position of Mr. Irrelevant 2026:
Defensive lineman/Edge: +400
Offensive lineman: +400
Wide receiver: +400
Running back: +450
Cornerback: +750
Quarterback: +1000
Linebacker: +1100
Safety: +1200
Tight end: +2200
Kicker/punter/long snapper: +2500
We looked back at all of the Mr. Irrelevants going back to 1990, and the most popular position drafted in the final spot was tight end. Seven tight ends have gone off the board with the last pick in that span. Other popular Mr. Irrelevant positions are quarterback (6), linebacker (6), wide receiver (4), and cornerback (3).
The Denver Broncos currently hold the final pick of the 2026 Draft, No. 257. Positions of need for the Broncos include tight end, defensive line, defensive back, offensive line, and linebacker.
Of course, there is a ton of trading in the back half of the Draft, so there is no guarantee that Sean Payton’s team actually makes that final pick on Saturday.
College conference odds
Fanatics also has NFL Draft college conference odds. For instance, you can bet on the Over/Under for how many ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and/or SEC players will be picked in the first round of the Draft.
Here are what the current prices are for those props.
- Total ACC Players in Round 1: Over 5.5 (+135), Under 5.5 (-175)
- Total Big Ten Players in Round 1: Over 11.5 (+130), Under 11.5 (-175)
- Total Big 12 Players in Round 1: Over 5.5 (+210), Under 5.5 (-300)
Matchups
Another niche Draft market is “matchups,” where you can bet on a head-to-head matchup of which player will be drafted first. For example, Fanatics currently has a prop of “who will be drafted first: Makai Lemon or Kenyon Sadiq?”
Lemon is currently favored, with -165 odds. Sadiq is +125 to be selected ahead of Lemon.
Here are the other matchups Fanatics currently has:
- Kadyn Proctor (-225) vs. Monroe Freeling (+170)
- Kayden McDonald (-160) vs. Peter Woods (+120)
- Mansoor Delane (-120) vs. Rueben Bain Jr. (-110)
- Max Iheanachor (-265) vs. Ty Simpson (+190)
