2021 NFL Draft Odds - Team To Draft Trevor Lawrence
- Jacksonville Jaguars -4000
- New York Jets +1200
- Denver Broncos +2200
- Washington Football Team +2200
- Atlanta Falcons +2800
- Detroit Lions +5000
- Carolina Panthers +6000
- Dallas Cowboys +6000
- New York Giants +6000
- Philadelphia Eagles +7500
Trevor Lawrence is going to the Jacksonville Jaguars. One struggles to imagine the kind of change it would take for the Jags to go with anyone else. Lawrence has been the number one pick in the NFL since his freshman year and is likely the best QB prospect since Andrew Luck.
He will go number one overall, and the Jaguars have the number one overall pick.
2021 NFL Draft Odds - Team To Draft Justin Fields
- New York Jets -110
- Denver Broncos +800
- Atlanta Falcons +800
- New England Patriots +1000
- Washington Football Team +1100
- Detroit Lions +1100
- Carolina Panthers +1100
- Jacksonville Jaguars +1200
- Dallas Cowboys +2800
- New York Giants +3500
- Philadelphia Eagles +3500
The QB that led the team that beat Lawrence in the College Football Playoff is up next on most draft boards.
Justin Fields has had an interesting year as far as draft stock goes, looking downright poor at times during the season. However, he showed up big against Clemson and cemented his status as the number two QB in the draft - likely to the New York Jets.
2021 NFL Draft - Team To Draft Mac Jones
- Indianapolis Colts +375
- Denver Broncos +375
- Washington Football Team +375
- Atlanta Falcons +750
- Detroit Lions +750
- Carolina Panthers +750
- Dallas Cowboys +1500
- New England Patriots +800
- New York Giants +2000
- Philadelphia Eagles +2000
Speaking of quarterbacks in the Playoff, Mac Jones of Alabama is projected to hang around in the middle of the first round, with Denver (9), Indianapolis (21) and Washington (19) all boasting equal odds to come away with him.
Perception of Jones went from game manager to truly elite player in college football this year, much like Joe Burrow did in 2019-2020.

He didn’t vault up the draft boards like Burrow did because his offensive production was less absurd, but there’s a potential for real talent here.
2021 NFL Draft - Team To Draft Kyle Trask
- Las Vegas Raiders +450
- Indianapolis Colts +450
- Pittsburgh Steelers +500
- New Orleans Saints +500
- Washington Football Team +950
- Denver Broncos +950
- Atlanta Falcons +1100
- New England Patriots +950
- Detroit Lions +950
- Carolina Panthers +950
Kyle Trask led the Florida Gators to a solid season, with losses to Alabama and LSU derailing them at the last moment.
Trask put up elite numbers and is projected to go to either the Colts, the Raiders (17), the Saints (29) or the Steelers (28).
Trask looks to be the fourth QB off the board, towards the mid to late first round. There are plenty of teams in that range that could want him.
2021 NFL Draft - Team To Draft DeVonta Smith
- Cincinnati Bengals +240
- Philadelphia Eagles +250
- Miami Dolphins +350
- New England Patriots +400
- New York Giants +700
- Detroit Lions +700
DeVonta Smith, the winner of the Heisman Trophy, is the best receiver in college football, and easily the number one receiver in this draft class.
Smith is projected to go in the top ten, with the Bengals and Eagles both looking at him to pair with young QB’s in need of weapons in Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts.
The Patriots sit at +400, which is interesting, but they also might need to address the QB position if they have a chance to do so.
The Dolphins, with multiple QBs on their roster already (including Tua Tagovailoa, picked in the top five last year) are also looking at Smith, due to their lack of receiving options.
Each of these players presents interesting questions to those who would predict the draft.
NFL Draft betting is in full swing, and bettors should be looking at each of these prospects’ chances to go to each team.
