Odds as of April 29
To be clear, if you bet the over on one of these players, you are saying he will be drafted later than the line listed. The under is saying he will be drafted earlier than the listed line.
Here are some notes on the movement we’ve seen in draft position over/unders:
- [April 29] Trey Lance’s draft position has just dropped to 3.5 with the under favored at -160. Mac Jones’ over/under is still listed at 3.5, but the over is now favored at -160. The under on Jones’ draft position was as short as -300 earlier today.
- [April 29] Despite Denver trading for Teddy Bridgewater, and potentially pulling themselves out of the market for a QB in the first round, Justin Fields and Trey Lance’s draft position over/unders remain at 7.5 and 6.5, respectively.
- [April 26] Justin Fields’ draft position had been hovering around 3.5 to 4.5 prior to today’s news of San Francisco apparently narrowing their decision to Mac Jones or Trey Lance. The result has been Fields’ draft position dropping to as low as 8.5 at FanDuel. It is 6.5 right now at DraftKings.
- [April 23] Najee Harris and Alijah Vera-Tucker have seen their draft positions increase significantly over the last week. Harris has gone from 29.5 to as low as 24.5 at some sportsbooks, while Vera-Tucker has moved from as low as 22.5 to now 15.5.

*Odds as of April 29
Here are some notes on the odds movement we’ve seen:
- [April 29] Trevor Lawrence’s odds to go first-overall have reached a new best, as some sportsbooks list him as short as -50000
- [March 10] Zach Wilson is the clear second choice in the odds to be taken first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, but it’s a foregone conclusion that Trevor Lawrence will go first
- [February 23] Some sportsbooks now give BYU’s Zach Wilson the second-best odds to be taken first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, though Lawrence is still the heavy favorite. Justin Fields still has the second-best average odds
- [January 12] Despite being knocked out of the College Football Playoffs in the semifinals, Trevor Lawrence is still heavily favored to go first-overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Justin Fields’ odds improved slightly, from +1100 to +1000, after two strong showings in the CFP
- [December 29] Trevor Lawrence is a near lock to go first-overall, now listed at average odds of -5500. BYU’s Zach Wilson has shown up on the board for the first time, given +3000 odds to be taken with the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft
- [December 8] Though Lawrence’s Heisman odds are fading, his odds to go first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft remain at an average of -625, just slightly longer than the -750 he was listed at a month ago
- [November 12] Fields’ odds have faded from +280 to +725, still the second-best odds on the board. Trey Lance of North Dakota State has emerged with +2250 odds, the fourth-best on the board.
- [August 1] Justin Fields’ odds have improved from +300 to +280, while Penei Sewell’s odds plummeted from +400 to +900. The Ohio State quarterback appears to be the lone threat to Trevor Lawrence going first overall.
- [April 25, 2020] Although he lost in the National Championship, Trevor Lawrence had a great sophomore season at Clemson, and he is now the odds-on favorite to be selected first overall in 2021.
- [January 8, 2019] Trevor Lawrence is such a highly-touted prospect that he has opened with +100 odds to be selected first in the 2021 NFL Draft, which is still more than two years away.
