NFL draft: There's a new heavy favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick

First it was Evan Neal. Then Ikem Ekwonu got a little buzz.

But there's now a new betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 NFL draft.

According to BetMGM, Michigan edge Aidan Hutchinson is now a -350 favorite to be drafted first. He's followed by a big gap — next in line are Neal (+600) and Ekwonu (+1000).

The over-under for Hutchinson's draft position has been set at 1.5. You get -350 odds to take the under, +250 for the over.

Interestingly, Ekwonu has the same odds as another pass rusher, and it's not Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux.
