The NFL Draft day is approaching, and the controversy around the quarterback position continues. It has been heavily criticized for the lack of talent this year. Even so, Cam Ward, the quarterback from the University of Miami, unless something surprising happens, will be the first pick in the Draft by the Tennessee Titans.
The search for a quarterback who can change the fate of a franchise has given value to the prospects at that position this year. The reality is, we are far from what we experienced last year with the talent of Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and others.
This year, the competition seemed very close between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders for being considered the best prospect, but now Ward has pulled away, and Sanders is worried that Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss is on track to sur him and be selected before the former Colorado Buffaloes star.
The sportsbooks are gradually leaning toward Jaxson Dart
Before the last week of March, Shedeur Sanders was considered the big favorite with the sportsbooks to be the second quarterback chosen in the Draft. The casinos were offering odds of -1600, meaning for every $100 bet, if Sanders was selected after Ward, you would only win $6.
Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart's odds were +700 during the same time, meaning for every $100 bet, you would win $700.
Now, everything has changed. Sanders is still the favorite to be the second quarterback in the Draft, but the gap has narrowed as the selection day nears.
At the moment, Sanders has odds of -225, meaning for every $100, you would win $44, while Dart's odds are +160, so for the same $100 bet, you would win $160. Sanders' decline has not stopped.
Sanders is still the favorite, but the gap is closing fast with Dart, who has recently been strongly linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
