Travon Walker Tops Vegas Odds at First Overall Pick

Previously Vegas had favored Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson to go first overall to the Jags, but with only a day remaining they shifted to Walker.

First Pick

  1. Travon Walker -200

  2. Aidan Hutchinson +250

  3. Ikem Ekwonu +400

  4. Evan Neal +2000

  5. Kayvon Thibodeaux +2500


Second Pick

  1. Aidan Hutchinson -200

  2. Kayvon Thibodeaux +250

  3. Travon Walker +600

  4. Jermaine Johnson +1600

  5. Malik Willis +2000


Third Pick

  1. Derek Stingley Jr +250

  2. Ahmad Gardner +450

  3. Travon Walker +500

  4. Ikem Ekwonu +500

  5. Evan Neal +600

  6. Kayvon Thibodeaux +800

The third pick is super interesting, because regardless of who goes first, Hutchinson and Walker are expected to go 1-2. At three there is some excitement, with Houston having a multitude of needs they could address. Stingley came up as a recent Vegas favorite here...if Houston feels the tackles may fall, perhaps defensive back is the route.


Fourth Pick

  1. Kayvon Thibodeaux +250

  2. Ahmad Gardner +350

  3. Jermaine Johnson +350

  4. Ikem Ekwonu +500

  5. Travon Walker +800

Latest mock trends have Thibodeaux going to Jets here over Sauce Gardner, and these Vegas odds reflect that sentiment. They do like Jermaine Johnson, but at 10 not 4.


Fifth Pick

  1. Charles Cross +175

  2. Ahmad Gardner +350

  3. Ikem Ekwonu +400

  4. Evan Neal +600

  5. Kayvon Thibodeaux +750

The Giants really like Charles Cross but don't surprised to see them go defensive back if Gardner is on the board, or edge with Thibodeaux.


Sixth Pick

  1. Kenny Pickett +250

  2. Charles Cross +340

  3. Jameson Williams +600

  4. Malik Willis +600

  5. Evan Neal +600

Carolina doesn't have another pick until the fourth round and said they won't trade for Baker Mayfield. The talk of O-line is myth, the Panthers have to take a QB here. Without the luxury of developing Malik Willis, Pickett is the play and Vegas is warming to the idea.


Seventh Pick

  1. Ahmad Gardner +300

  2. Derek Stingley +350

  3. Charles Cross +500

  4. Evan Neal +600

  5. Kayvon Thibodeaux +700

Basically, whoever they Giants didn't take at 5, they'll take here.


Eighth Pick

  1. Garrett Wilson +500

  2. Jameson Williams +600

  3. Malik Willis +600

  4. Drake London +650

  5. Kyle Hamilton +800

The Falcons are still heavily weighted towards drafting one of the elite receivers of the class and Wilson is the one most commonly heard about connected to them in the top ten.


Ninth Pick

  1. Charles Cross +400

  2. Derek Stingley +500

  3. Evan Neal +500

  4. Jermaine Johnson +800

  5. Malik Willis +1000

The Seahawks likely wait to take their QB, so bolstering their line or shaky DB room is essential. Prime spot for Stingley here, but if he is gone the Seahawks have an elite tackle falling to them if the DBs are gone.


Tenth Pick

  1. Jameson Williams +300

  2. Garrett Wilson +400

  3. Drake London +600

  4. Derek Stingley +600

  5. Ahmad Gardner +1000

The Jets have rotated from edge to receiver at this pick, and Williams is regarded by many as the best receiver in this stacked class.
