2024 NFL Draft No. 1 Pick Odds (Caleb Williams a Near Certainty to Go First)

The NFL season has come to an end and we can now turn our attention to the NFL Draft.

The NFL Draft betting market has become one of the most entertaining to follow in the lead-up to the weekend event that starts on Thursday, April 25th, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. However, there is little question who is going No. 1 this year as oddsmakers have installed Caleb Williams as the runaway favorite to hear his name first.

The Chicago Bears are picking first, by way of the Carolina Panthers, and while the team has a capable quarterback in Justin Fields, the exepctation is that the team will either trade Fields and select Williams or keep Fields and move the pick for a king's ransom to a team that will select the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner.
