Texas quarterback Arch Manning is the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
Manning\u2019s betting odds are currently at +225 to go first overall.<\/p>\n
Although Manning\u2019s production in his first season as Texas\u2019s starter last year wasn\u2019t great, he\u2019s the betting favorite because he has the physical tools that NFL teams look for in a franchise quarterback. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that he\u2019s from football\u2019s most famous family: Manning\u2019s uncles, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, were the first overall picks in 1998 and 2004. His grandfather, Archie Manning, was the second overall pick in the 1971 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
The player with the next-best odds to go first overall is Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at +380, followed by Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr at +750, South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers at +1200 and Miami quarterback Darian Mensah at +1400.<\/p>\n
The non-quarterback with the best odds to go first overall is Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith at +1600. He is followed by Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin at +1800, Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker at +2000, South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart at +2200 and Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons at +2500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas quarterback Arch Manning is the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-633782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
