Closing Odds to Win 2019 NFL OROY

*Odds taken January 29

Only three of the first ten picks were offensive players, and just 14 of the 32 first-round selections. Of those 14, six were offensive linemen.

Top Contenders at Each Position

• QBs
• RBs
• WRs
• TEs

Three tight ends opened with odds to win the award, and TJ Hockenson and Noah Fant – both selected in the first round – were listed at +1200 and +2000, respectively. Those were very short odds considering no TE has ever won the award. All three fizzled out pretty quickly.

Josh Jacobs was the only RB selected in the first round and was the only rookie running back who entered the season with a clear lead role in his respective offense. David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, and Devin Singletary emerged as contenders, as well.

Kyler Murray started the entire 2019 season for the Arizona Cardinals, as was expected, which explains why his odds were so short all year. But with Daniel Jones getting the nod for the Giants in Week 3, the sixth-overall pick vaulted up the board and looked like a real contender.
