An Early Look At The 2022 NFL Draft Odds

With the 2021 NBA Draft right around the corner, the odds have been posted for the 2022 NFL Draft. as of right now, Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler is favored to be the top pick but is he the best bet? Let’s take a closer look.

Spencer Rattler

Spencer Rattler is already on track to join Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray as Oklahoma quarterbacks to be drafted number one overall. Rattler struggled in his first season as the teams quarterback but had a remarkable year during his second season, catapulting him up the rankings. He displayed ridiculous arm strength and pocket presence while also being able to make plays out of nothing. There is no doubt that another year of development in college will take his skills to another level, and there is certainly going to be a top team looking for a franchise changer.

Kayvon Thibodeaux

A ton of teams will be looking for a talent like Kayvon Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux is another player that some scouts have at the top of their boards given his outstanding frame and athleticism. He is arguably the best defensive player in this class and for good reason, he has proven to be wildly difficult to defend so far during his time at Oregon. Though, he just doesn’t attack the quarterback well, as his run defense is equally as dominant.

Sam Howell

Sam Howell is heavily expected to compete with Rattler for the top quarterback spot in this draft. Howell would slot right into the majority of the teams that could get the top pick this year and would be considered a franchise changer like Rattler. Howell has completely stuffed the stat sheet during his two years at North Carolina, and his third year is going to be no different. He has shown incredible toughness in the pocket and an ability to tuck it and run when play breaks down. Some have even compared him to Baker Mayfield coming out of the college, which is high praise for the North Carolina star. It is going to be a tough battle between him and Rattler.

Malik Willis

Malik Willis is yet another quarterback that has the potential to be taken with the top selection. The lead man out of Liberty is right up there with both Howell and Rattler. Willis is another guy that has terrific movement in the pocket and could tuck it and run if he has too. He also has shown solid accuracy and a fantastic arm to launch the ball deep downfield. Similar to the other few guys on this list, Willis will have some things to clean up this upcoming college season. If he does, he is going to throw himself into consideration for the top pick.
