C.J. Stroud Betting Favorite To Go No. 1

Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is projected to be one of the first off the board in the 2023 NFL Draft. But according to BetMGM, the signal-caller is the new favorite to be taken No. 1 overall by the Panthers. Alabama's Bryce Young was the favorite. However, the odds shifted in Stroud's favor after Carolina landed the top selection from the Chicago Bears. The 21-year-old has an impressive resume, so if he doesn't end up in Carolina, Houston will be knocking at the door. One thing is certain, Stroud has a clear path to immediate playing time with either club.
