There were rumors going into the draft that four quarterbacks may be chosen before Detroit made their selection at number six. Bryce Young of Alabama, C.J. Stroud of Ohio State, Anthony Richardson of Florida, and Will Levis of Kentucky may all finish in the top 10.
Young is currently the overwhelming favorite to be selected first overall by the Carolina Panthers, according to oddsmakers. Young has a -2000 chance of being chosen first (wager $2,000 to win an extra $100). Most bookmakers put Stroud as the number two option, with a stake of $100 to win an extra $1,000.
Richardson and Levis must go even further back to be chosen first overall.
However, most bookies now have Levis as the favorite to go No. 2 overall. The Houston Texans have the Kentucky quarterback rated as low as -130 to be picked.
