Alabama quarterback Bryce Young seems to be the shoo-in pick for the No. 1 selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, according to BetMGM as of Tuesday morning. But the odds get interesting after the top selection. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is the favorite for the No. 2 pick, which is held by the Texans. Levis is also the favorite at No. 4 (Colts).
  • Levis became a hot topic Tuesday when a user on Reddit said he heard that Levis is telling friends and family that Carolina will take him No. 1. Levis was at +4500 on Sunday at some sportsbooks and off the board at BetMGM. He’s currently at +500 as of Noon ET Tuesday at BetMGM.
  • Texas Tech edge rusher Tyree Wilson is the oddsmakers’ choice to be the No. 3 pick (Cardinals), but Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud isn’t far behind. A Stroud pick would signal a likely trade for the Cardinals out from No. 3.

Below are the odds for numerous draft scenarios. These odds are live so there could be movement at any point leading up to Thursday’s draft:

No. 1 pick

No. 2 pick

No. 3 pick

No. 4 pick

First wide receiver

First tight end

First offensive lineman

First defensive player
