2024 NFL Draft Top 10 Odds: Another Check on the Top Draft Picks
Plenty of Odds Movement as Draft Grows Near
Now that the 2024 NFL Draft is just a few days away, bettors are making more of a stand on certain players. There’s been a fair amount of movement on which players go in the top 10.
J.J. McCarthy is continuing to get some action. Some people believe he may go at No. 4, which means the Cardinals will be involved in a trade somehow. It could be Kyler Murray getting traded or Arizona could just move the pick and take the windfall that goes along with it.
The 2024 NFL draft top 10 odds probably aren’t done moving leading up to Thursday.
1. Chicago Bears – Caleb Williams, QB, USC -20000 
Williams is still the solid favorite to go No. 1, but the odds have been cut in half. Williams was -10000 to go first and now is at -20000. Jayden Daniels is No. 2 in the betting at +2000, followed by Drake Maye at +3000.
Marvin Harrison Jr. and J.J. McCarthy are both +4000. Any thought of the Bears going off the board and taking somebody other than Williams is unlikely, however, and that’s reflected in the betting odds.
2. Washington Commanders – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU -145 
Daniels is still the favorite to be selected at No. 2 and is the same price he was two weeks. The 2024 NFL draft top 10 odds have shifted, with Mayne now +110 to be taken second.
The price on Maye was +145 two weeks ago. McCarthy has fallen a little bit here, moving from +850 two weeks ago to +1400. McCarthy will be taken shortly, but Daniels makes the most sense. He’s the second-best passer in the draft and his running ability is top-notch.
3. New England Patriots – Drake Mayne, QB, North Carolina -115 
Maye has moved from even money to -115 to go to the Patriots at No. 3. Daniels has moved from +170 to +125, as not everybody is sold the Commanders will take Daniels over May.
The odds on McCarthy have been cut in half, going from +400 to +200. Marvin Harrison has climbed slightly from +1700 to +1800, but the Pats need a quarterback.
4. Arizona Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR. Ohio State -200 
The 2024 NFL draft top 10 odds on Harrison remain unchanged from two weeks ago. If the Cardinals are going to keep the pick, Harrison is the logical choice. There’s no guarantee Arizona won’t be involved in some sort of deal that could see McCarthy or one of the other quarterbacks fall here.
What type of offers the Cardinals get could depend on the second and third picks and seeing which quarterback is left. There will probably be some side bets on if the No. 4 pick is a quarterback or not. McCarthy is the second betting choice at +170, followed by Maye at +550.
5. Los Angeles Chargers – Malik Nabors, WR, LSU +200 
Our first 2024 NFL mock draft draftee to be going off at plus money, Nabors will fill a need for the Chargers. Los Angeles may wait and see what happens with Harrison before entertaining any offers for the pick. If McCarthy is still there, the Chargers may get an offer too good to refuse.
The Chargers have plenty of needs after going 5-12 straight-up and 6-11 against the NFL betting lines. McCarthy is +225 and Harrison +250 to be selected here.
6. New York Giants – Malik Nabors, WR, LSU +140 
The 2024 NFL mock draft also has Nabors favored to go No. 6 at +140. For him to fall here, it likely means four quarterbacks have already been drafted.
Rome Odunze is the second choice in betting at +250, followed by McCarthy at +450. Lineman Joe Alt is now No. 4 at +800, although it’s hard to see the Giants passing on the skill players.
7. Tennessee Titans – OT Joe Alt, Notre Dame -180 
There’s been a significant move on Alt over the last two weeks, with the Irish lineman going from -105 to -180. Tennessee’s line was horrible last year and Alt helps with that aspect.
Odunze is now the second choice in betting at +550, which is a drop from his +650 of two weeks ago. Tackle Taliese Fuaga has fallen from the No. 2 choice two weeks ago to the No. 4 betting choice at +850.
8. Atlanta Falcons – LB Dallas Turner, Alabama +160 
The 2024 NFL draft top 10 odds on Turner have dropped from +230 two weeks ago to +160. Defensive end Laiatu Latu has dropped from +650 and is now just +250. Odunze is now the No. 3 betting choice here at +500, but defensive end Jared Verse is right behind at +600.
9. Chicago Bears – WR Rome Odunze, Washington +150
Odunze is still the favorite here, but his odds have moved from +250 to +150. It’s one of those picks that almost makes too much sense, but the Bears need him to be on the board at No. 9.
He should be, but it just takes one other team to throw things in disarray. Defensive lineman Byron Murphy has climbed all the way to No. 2 here at odds of +600.
10. New York Jets – TE Brock Bowers, Georgia +135 
Bowers is still the favorite to be taken at No. 10, but his odds have moved from +250 to +135 the last two weeks. New York might be better off drafting an offensive lineman, but Bowers could be too good to pass up here.
At least that’s what the odds are telling us. Lineman Taliese Fuaga is the second betting choice at +600, followed by tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu and Odunze at +700.
