The 2024 NFL draft is still eight months away, but the college football season could be a huge indication of how the board winds up. With the crop of quarterbacks in the NFL, it will be interesting to see if a team decides they want to go a different route.
Today, we are going to be looking at the DraftKings Sportsbook and figuring out after Week 1, which player has the best shot of having their name called first by Roger Goodell in April 2024.
2024 NFL Draft: Caleb Williams (-500)
It will be surprising if the odds ever get better than this, but the reigning Heisman Trophy winner seems like a lock for first overall. With people speculating the Arizona Cardinals tanking for this selection, Williams will immediately be one of the best quarterbacks when he steps on the field.
Through two games this season for the USC Trojans, he is 36-of-49 (73.5 completion percentage) for 597 yards with nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. It will be surprising if he does not get selected first and the only way is if the NIL money is enough to keep him in college football for another season.
2024 NFL Draft: Drake Maye (+550)
The best quarterback outside of Williams seems to be UNC Tar Heels’ Drake Maye. He has the physical tools at 6’4, 230 pounds, and has an electric arm. Certainly, a team that needs a quarterback will have the first selection, and Maye would be a great fit to build a franchise around.
2024 NFL Draft: Marvin Harrison Jr (+1500)
If a team with an established quarterback happens to find their way to the top pick and doesn’t want to move on from their QB, a wide receiver would be a great pick. Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr seems to have all the tools and the pedigree to be a dominant player at the biggest level. He suffered a shoulder injury in the opening game against Indiana and missed a significant portion of it but will be a star. Expect his name to get a lot of buzz as the season progresses.
