As NFL GMs finalize their preferred picks ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, NFL fans can now turn to PrizePicks to finalize their picks as well, but with a unique Draft Day spectacle twist.
Key Takeaways
- PrizePicks announces “The Draft” Daily Fantasy Game.
- Fans can win up to $500,000 in free lineups if they make three correct picks.
- Options include draft position props, the number of picks wearing glasses, how long NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is booed for, and more.
The Atlanta-based Daily Fantasy Sports platform has announced its new free-to-play daily fantasy game “The Draft” ahead of the real thing that kicks off on Thursday.
“The online conversation that buzzes on draft night is almost as entertaining as the draft itself,” said Mike Quigley, chief marketing officer at PrizePicks. “We are fired up to bring players a game that allows them to engage with those viral moments in a totally new format that hasn’t been done before.”
PrizePicks players will have the opportunity to select three over-under “props” on their favorite picks around the draft, both on players and iconic draft moments, for the chance to win big. Players who go a perfect 3-for-3 will earn themselves a share of $500,000 in free lineups.

Those picks will include several classics, with the available props including draft positions for highly touted prospects like Colorado Buffaloes star and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, or where his college teammate Shedeur Sanders will land.
Other fun twists on the formula will include props for the number of crying players in the first round, how many picks ESPN insider Adam Schefter tweets before his first television appearance, or even how many times longtime ESPN NFL analyst Mel Kiper uses the term “upside” while covering the first round (the line on that one for those wondering … set conservatively at 3.5 times).
PrizePicks will also be continuing its partnerships and utilizing personalities like Sketch, BookItWithTrent, BenDaDonnn, and Lou Young as they provide their hot takes on the NFL Draft and the hottest storylines of the evening.
PrizePicks continues to emerge as DFS powerhouse
This latest promotion and tight ties with major influencers in the online NFL sphere is the latest step for the Georgia-headquartered DFS giant, which has also recently announced an expanded partnership with its hometown, Atlanta Braves.
Available in 45 U.S. jurisdictions and across Canada, sans Ontario, PrizePicks’ footprint in the space has been particularly meaningful. Back home, the company also recently made a major investment in the Atlanta downtown area by opening its new headquarters late last year, with an estimated $25 million in economic development set to follow thanks to the creation of more than 1,000 jobs and various other measures.
