Which receiver will be drafted first? Here are the lines.

Denzel Mims: -170

Tee Higgins: +140

Mims, at 6-3 and 215 pounds, caught 66 passes for 1,020 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Higgins, who is one inch taller and listed at the same weight, caught 59 passes for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Mims is the faster player, having run the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in 4.38 seconds. Higgins ran it in 4.54 seconds at his pro day.

Mock drafts consistently projected Mims to be selected first, but many had both going in the first round.

Friday morning, a report came out saying that the Cincinnati Bengals, who pick first in Round 2 on Friday, are considering Mims for that selection.

With similar size and production, NFL teams often will make speed the deciding factor. For that reason, THE BEST BET IS MIMS (-170).
