Thursday, April 24, 2026 (Round 1 of 2026 NFL Draft)
Contrarian YES at 26¢ on Banks R1. Kalshi asks stack 5,571 @ 28¢ and 7,454 @ 29¢ — market consensus is closer to 29%, not 27%. Gene’s tape says 36–40%. Buy below the wall.
Back-half-of-R1 teams need interior pressure + Banks tape holds up through the late-riser label. Kalshi’s Yes ask stack (5,571 @ 28¢, 7,454 @ 29¢) is the honest market consensus — ~29% fair. Our number is 36–40%. Buying at 26¢ is ~3pp below consensus and 10–14pp below our estimate. This is a contrarian pick: edge rests on the football, not on sharp money agreeing with us.
