🏈 NFL Draft Odds 2026: Mendoza Odds To Go No. 1 Pulled; Reese Favorite To Go No. 2
There isn't much mystery surrounding who will be selected with the No. 1 pick by the Las Vegas Raiders this April ... the 2026 NFL Draft odds for the top selection have already been pulled.
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner who led the Hoosiers to their first national championship, closed as a -10000 odds favorite to be the No. 1 pick. However, the 2026 NFL Draft odds for the No. 2 pick are far more interesting.
Ohio State's Arvell Reese is a -155 favorite to be the No. 2 pick by the New York Jets. The only other players with shorter than +3000 odds to be the second selection are fellow front-seven defenders David Bailey (+225) and Rueben Bain Jr. (+500).
