Jeremiah Smith is the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft

Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith has captured the top spot in early betting markets to be selected first overall in the 2027 NFL draft, claiming +300 odds. This shift follows his recent outing where he hauled in four receptions totaling 93 yards alongside a pair of scores during a victory against Maryland, while previous favorite Arch Manning slid to second at +350 after a defeat to Oklahoma.

Additional signal-callers occupy the subsequent positions on the board, featuring Notre Dame passer CJ Carr at +380 following a dominant 58-7 triumph over Stanford where he amassed 181 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 41 rushing yards. Further down the wagering list sit Trinidad Chambliss at +600, Drew Mestemaker at +650, Darian Mensah at +750, and Dante Moore rounding out the group at +1200 odds.
