Last Updated: 
If you’re even a casual football fan, get ready because you're about to be inundated with draft news, media, reports, and many differing opinions on players’ talents, tools, and capabilities. Well, not about to be. You already have been.
The seven-round event kicks off on April 27, where we’ll hear 31 names called as members of the first round.
With NFL Draft prop betting, having the ability to build parlays is quite difficult as most options cannot be parlays together.
Here, we found a few parlays that could be built over at DraftKings Sportsbook — let’s check them out.
2023 NFL Draft Parlay Options
First Two QBs, Exact Order: Bryce Young and Will Levis (+140)
In this scenario, Alabama’s Bryce Young goes No. 1 overall to the Carolina Panthers, and Kentucky’s Will Levis lands with the Indianapolis Colts at No. 4.
There shouldn’t be any questions now: Young is the best quarterback in the draft, and the -1600 odds indicate he’s the likely No. 1 overall pick. If he were north of 6 feet tall, no one would have anything negative to say about him.
Regarding Levis, the reports are that the team prefers him to other options not named Young. Levis had an interesting college career because you see all the tools on display, and, sure, there are some questionable decisions, but we don’t know how much of that was him, the team around him, or both. Levis is the type of toolsy player that Colts general manager Chris Ballard would take a swing on. Coach Shane Steichen worked with a similar style of quarterback in 2020 with Los Angeles Charger signal caller Justin Herbert.
First Two QBs, Exact Order: Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson (+400)
To hedge the parlay bet above, we’ll keep Young at No. 1 overall, but in this scenario, a team has traded up with the Houston Texans at No. 2, the Arizona Cardinals at No. 3, or the Texans stayed and just took a swing on the high-upside athlete that is Florida’s Anthony Richardson.
There’s no quarterback more athletic than Richardson. Coming out of Florida, there are some accuracy concerns, but like Levis, the supporting cast didn’t provide Richardson with a ton of help.
Also, like Levis, Richardson has all the tools and intangibles, but there’s no better runner than him. He might be the most dominant rushing quarterback in the NFL moving forward.
He’d be a great fit for numerous teams, including the Colts if they were to swap with the Cardinals and take him instead of Levis, the Atlanta Falcons who, with coach Arthur Smith, would instantly have a top rushing attack in the league, the Detroit Lions who will need to find an heir apparent to Jared Goff at some point, or various other scenarios.

Top Two Exact Order: Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson (+2000)
Like the bet above, you’re getting +1600 in more value by predicting these two to go No. 1 to the Panthers and then No. 2 overall to whoever owns the pick.
The Texans could stick and pick Richardson here, but if they trade down with a team nearby, they could still get a quarterback, even if it’s not Richardson.
The Seattle Seahawks could move up from No. 5 to No. 2 to get Richardson. If this is the case, three quarterbacks would likely be taken in the top four, and the Texans would get a crack at the remaining one of the “big four” or take a premier defensive player.
Richardson isn’t as “polished” as Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, but the ceiling with him is much more limited than with Richardson. If I’m trading up, it’s only for Young or Richardson, who will be gone.
