There are a couple of players at every NFL Draft who can turn the whole thing upside down.
There are a couple of candidates to do that this year, including Shedeur Sanders, but the other player who could blow up every mock draft is Ashton Jeanty, the 41-touchdown man out of Boise State.
Jeanty has a couple of teams that are quite keen on drafting him, but most of them would need to trade up to do so, which makes predicting where he eventually lands quite difficult.
Ashton Jeanty NFL draft odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Jaguars | -150 |
| Raiders | +200 |
| Bears | +425 |
| Broncos | +1400 |
| Cowboys | +1500 |
| Saints | +2000 |
| Patriots | +2000 |
The Jacksonville Jaguars are the -150 favorite to draft Jeanty at the time of writing, but that has not always been the case.
The Las Vegas Raiders, who are slated to pick sixth, were in odds-on territory up until Tuesday, but that shifted as more people came around to the idea that the Jaguars would be selecting the former Boise State standout at No. 5.
That has been one of the most popular bets at BetMGM sportsbook during the buildup to Thursday’s show.
“The most concerning scenario for us is Jeanty going No. 5 to the Jaguars,” Christian Cippollini, senior director of trading for BetMGM, told the Post. “That would be enough to make it a losing draft [for us].”
It is expected that the Raiders would select Jeanty if he gets to them at No. 6.
The other scenario that has gained some momentum in the past few days is that the Chicago Bears would trade up with the Jaguars in order to draft Jeanty at five.
Chicago is +425 to land the 2024 Heisman runner-up, but it’s unlikely that they’d get the chance to do it without making a move.
