The 2023 NFL Draft is scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 27, from Kansas City, Missouri. There has been a lot of fluctuation with the first-overall pick betting odds in the past few weeks, creating ambiguity regarding how the top of the draft will shake out.
After C.J. Stroud sat as the consensus No. 1 overall pick following a strong performance against Georgia in the College Football Playoff and the combine, Bryce Young has quickly leapfrogged Stroud, sitting at -1400 to be the first player taken off of the board by the Carolina Panthers.
Young is the current favorite to be selected first overall, so let's look at the 2023 NFL Draft odds and prop markets for Bryce Young ahead of Thursday night.
Will Bryce Young Be the First Overall Pick?
There's growing speculation that Young will wind up in Carolina under first-year head coach Frank Reich and Panthers' owner David Tepper, who allegedly likes the Alabama signal-caller due to Young's S2 cognitive test results.
Bryce Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021 and only suffered four total losses as a two-year starter at Alabama. He didn't win a National Championship game. Still, he orchestrated dozens of impressive drives throughout his tenure against SEC defensive units, which many pundits view as the best competition in all of college football. Young has juiced odds to go 1st overall at -1400, implying a 93.3 percent chance that he's taken by the Carolina Panthers, which possesses little to no value from a betting standpoint.
2023 NFL Draft Odds: 1st Overall Pick Odds
Player | Odds to Be 1st Pick | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
Bryce Young | -1400 | 93.33% |
C.J. Stroud | +700 | 12.5% |
Anthony Richardson | +1500 | 6.25% |
Who Will Be The 2nd Overall Pick At The 2023 NFL Draft?
Sportsbooks and oddsmakers are so confident in Bryce Young being drafted first overall that he isn't currently fielding any odds to be taken with the second overall pick.
Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is getting -145 odds to be the second player taken off the board to the Houston Texans, slightly ahead of the top two defensive edge rushers in the draft, Tyree Wilson and Will Anderson. These odds are subject to change over the next few days, of course, but finding a prop for Young will be very lucrative and worth sprinkling on in case the Panthers opt to go with Stroud or Anthony Richardson at No. 1.
2023 NFL Draft Odds: 2nd Overall Pick Odds
Player | Odds to Be 2nd Pick | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
Will Levis | -145 | 59.18% |
Tyree Wilson | +250 | 28.57% |
Will Anderson | +400 | 20% |
Who Will Be The 3rd Overall Pick At The 2023 NFL Draft?
We've finally found a Bryce Young prop with extremely long odds to be the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Granted, his implied probability is 1.64%, which means this outcome is a long shot that could land a massive payday for bettors willing to take on risk.
Tyree Wilson and C.J. Stroud are landing roughly 26-27 percent implied probability to be selected third overall. However, Stroud's value suggests that the Arizona Cardinals may wind up trading out of this spot to a quarterback-needy team such as Tennessee, Indianapolis, or Las Vegas.
2023 NFL Draft Odds: 3rd Overall Pick Odds
Player | Odds to Be 3rd Pick | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
Tyree Wilson | +270 | 27.03% |
C.J. Stroud | +280 | 26.32% |
Bryce Young | +6000 | 1.64% |
Which Team Will Draft Bryce Young In the 2023 NFL Draft?
The Carolina Panthers appear to be locked into taking Bryce Young with the No. 1. overall draft pick. However, several other teams are seeking a rookie quarterback on a cheaper deal to elevate their offense, including the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Las Vegas Raiders, and Tennessee Titans.
The current Team To Draft Bryce Young odds market indicates that there's little to no chance he falls in the draft, as he's getting long 60/1 odds to be the third overall player taken off the draft board. His odds get even longer as the fifth overall pick at 100/1, indicating that there are only a few realistic alternative landing spots due to Carolina's need for a signal-caller and the scheme that will be implemented under Frank Reich and the rest of the new regime.
