Fifth Overall Pick
The Los Angeles Chargers hold the fifth overall pick, and the two players with the shortest odds to be selected are wide receivers. Malik Nabers brings explosive tendencies to the table, while Harrison Jr. is a viable option here if a team trades into the top four and selects a quarterback. With a significant shift in the Chargers wide receiver room, it's pretty clear there's a strong likelihood they'll be a new receiver to the fold early in this 2024 NFL Draft.

Fifth Overall Pick Odds: Malik Nabers +200 | Marvin Harrison Jr. +300 | J.J. McCarthy +400

First Overall Pick
With the moves the Chicago Bears have made this offseason, it's evident that they have their sights set on drafting Caleb Williams with the first overall pick, and the odds strongly reflect that. Never say never until they reach the podium and make the pick, but it would be a major shock if the Bears selected anyone but Williams at first overall.

First Overall Pick Odds: Caleb Williams -10000 | Jayden Daniels +3000 | Drake Maye +4000

Second Overall Pick
The buzz of late around who the Washington Commanders will select with the second overall pick revolves around Jayden Daniels. It's all but a lock that the Commanders will be choosing a quarterback, and it appears to be a two-horse race featuring Daniels and Drake Maye. There's an outside shot J.J. McCarthy is involved in the conversation, but it's hard to see Washington passing on either of the two options ahead of him. Daniels is the current slight favorite with some juice attached to his price, and you can understand why after he captured the Heisman trophy with his dynamic skillset during his final year at LSU.

Second Overall Pick Odds: Jayden Daniels -145 | Drake Maye +145 | J.J. McCarthy +850

Third Overall Pick
There's a strong likelihood that the first three picks in the 2024 NFL Draft will be quarterbacks. The order they go is still debatable, but it's hard to see these three selections playing out any other way. The New England Patriots hold the third overall pick and will likely select whichever quarterback of the top tier remains in the top three. There's an outside shot that's J.J. McCarthy, but it's much more likely to be Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels.

Third Overall Pick Odds: Drake Maye +100 | Jayden Daniels +170 | J.J. McCarthy +400

Top 5 Prospects Third Overall Pick
Fourth Overall Pick
The top wide receiver off the board is expected to be Marvin Harrison Jr. The interest appears strong from the Arizona Cardinals if they hold onto the pick. If a team looking for a quarterback trades up, the Cardinals can still get a reasonably strong wideout to complement their offense. With how we expect the top three picks to play out, a team trading up at this point would likely be to select J.J. McCarthy.

Fourth Overall Pick Odds: Marvin Harrison Jr. -200 | J.J. McCarthy +400 | Drake Maye +750
