NFL Draft Odds: Aidan Hutchinson Now Massive Favorite To Go First Overall
The Jacksonville Jaguars surprised the NFL yesterday when they placed the franchise tag on Cam Robinson for a second straight season. As a result, oddsmakers now believe that the Jaguars will no longer be focusing on taking an offensive lineman first overall.

Instead, Michigan pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson is the massive favorite to be the first player off the board. Hutchinson is given -175 odds, or an implied 63.6% chance. A massive change from yesterday when he was given +350 odds, or an implied 22.2% chance.
However, the offensive tackles are still on the radar. Both Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu saw their odds drop from +110 yesterday to +325 today. That’s a change from an implied 47.6% chance to go first overall to a 23.5% chance. No other player is given better than +1600 odds to be selected first overall.

With their left tackle back in place for the upcoming season, the Jaguars could potentially look to add the best player available in this class. That’s without a doubt Aidan Hutchinson who could create an elite pass rush duo with Josh Allen and revive Jacksonville. However, the Jaguars' offensive line is still a major issue, and adding to it should be a priority this offseason. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Jaguars would look to add Neal or Ekwonu to play RT and sure up the line in front of Trevor Lawrence.
