Bodog has some entertaining odds posted on the NFL Draft. First off:
"Which ESPN NFL Analyst will have the most correct selections on their final 2008 NFL Draft 1st Round mock draft?This strikes me as an extremely entertaining thing to root for while watching the draft. Betting on this would give you a rooting interesting for every pick in the first round, except for when they have the same prediction. I'll probably have some kind of post early next week on whose mock drafts were the most accurate.
Mel Kiper Jr. (-120)
Todd McShay (-120)"
There are also odds one each of the first 11 picks. I'm not going to post them in full (go here for that), but here are the favorites for each pick:
1. Miami, Jake Long (N/A)
2. St. Louis, Chris Long/Glenn Dorsey (each 10/11)
3. Falcons, Matt Ryan/Glenn Dorsey (each 1/1)
4. Raiders, Darren McFadden (2/3)
5. Chiefs, Branden Albert (8/5)
6. Jets, Vernon Gholston (1/1)
7. Patriots, Keith Rivers (9/5)
8. Ravens, Matt Ryan (17/10)
9. Bengals, Sedrick Ellis (29/20)
10. Saints, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2/1)
11. Bills, Devin Thomas (6/5)
For those last two the favorite is actually "Field", but I figured that wouldn't be too informative. Those two are the only ones that differ from Kiper's mock draft; he has Aqib Talib going 10th (4/1) and Leodis McKelvin going 11th (3/1).
The Scouts Inc. Live Mock Draft has Ellis going 5th , Ryan 7th, and Rivers 8th. None of those guys even have odds listed on being selected with those picks at Bodog. They are trying to predict trades and such, which seems like an exercise in futility.

I had no idea where to post this yesterday, but this is appropriate (albeit very late).
For all the bad things some people have to say about Sportsbook.com, I love the fact that they are notoriously slow in taking down props after the release of pertinent (but not definitive) information.
What I'm saying is, their "1st pick in the NFL Draft" odds were still up a good 10 minutes (maybe more) after Mort leaked his sources. At 5:8, I hit Jake Long a few times. I saw it move to 1:2, and soon after, taken off the board.
(Ignore this. I'm just testing something out.)
