The 2018 NFL Draft was one of the most highly-anticipated drafts in recent memory, and it certainly lived up to the hype. For the first time since 1999, five quarterbacks were selected in the first-round. And continuing to make history, it was the first time a running back was selected in the first two picks since 2006.

But only one of these highly-touted rookies will be named the 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. And based upon the previous two seasons, we need to look beyond those selected in the first-round, as well. The last two rookies to take home the OROY honors were drafted in the third (Alvin Kamara) and fourth (Dak Prescott) rounds, respectively.

We’ll be tracking the odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year from our most trusted betting sites all season. Follow along to see how the odds change throughout the 2018 NFL season.
