<p>The NFL draft is an exciting time of the season for a football fan. The professional teams are trying their best to make the right selection and add the right player to their team that will ultimately turn their football franchise into a championship squad.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This time of the season is not only exciting for the football fan, but it is exciting for the football handicapper. The football handicapper who is most likely missing the National Football League at this time of the year with no football games to bet on, can still get their fix while betting on the NFL draft. Many of the best online sportsbooks will offer up a long list of NFL props during the season, but only the best of the best will offer up NFL props on the NFL draft. </span></p>
