For the first time in over a decade, the Carolina Panthers own the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft after trading with the Bears for the right to select the next face of their franchise.
And if the betting market is any indication, C.J. Stroud is their guy.
The former Buckeyes star is the overwhelming favorite (-320) to be the first overall pick in next month’s NFL Draft, according to the latest odds at FanDuel.
The move comes just an hour after the Panthers traded away star receiver D.J. Moore and multiple firsts – including the No. 9 pick in this year’s draft – to vault themselves into position for a franchise quarterback.
Alabama quarterback Bryce Young (+300), who was the favorite to go first overall until Friday’s blockbuster, joins Florida’s Anthony Richardson (+350) as the only other players with shorter than 20/1 odds to be the top pick at FanDuel.
