2024 NFL Draft odds: J.J. McCarthy's odds to go second skyrocket
The NFL Draft is officially less than a month away, and is shaping up to be pretty quarterback heavy.
FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt projects six QBs will be selected in the first round in his latest mock draft, with the Chicago Bears taking the odds-on favorite Caleb Williams first overall.
The oddsboard indicates quarterbacks will be taken with the next two picks as well, and for months those two players were considered to be LSU's Jayden Daniels and North Carolina's Drake Maye.
However, in the past week, Michigan's J.J. McCarthy odds to go No. 2 overall have skyrocketed.
At DraftKings Sportsbook, while Daniels is still the favorite to go No. 2 at -125, with Maye behind him at +150, McCarthy's odds have shortened all the way to +275 from +3500 a week ago.
McCarthy's meteoric rise up the oddsboard comes fresh off the heels of his pro-day performance, one that impressed scouts, evaluators, and even his college coach, Jim Harbaugh.
"That was the best I've ever seen a quarterback do at a pro day," Harbaugh told reporters of McCarthy's workout. "Not only were his feet great, individual drills, but then he started throwing, and every throw was right there. I thought the receivers did a great job, too. They all had a great day.
"That was the best throwing day I've ever seen."
