Scarlet Sunrise: Trio of Buckeyes near top of way-too-early No. 1 NFL draft pick odds

Join us each morning to get caught up on everything you missed in the world of Ohio State football, recruiting, basketball and more in Scarlet Sunrise.
Trio of Buckeyes near top of way-too-early No. 1 NFL draft pick odds
The oddsmakers are apparently aware of just how good the Ohio State offense is going to be this fall.
It might be a historically good unit led by C.J. Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Paris Johnson. Maybe that’s why all three are in the top five to be the No. 1 overall pick in next spring’s NFL Draft.
Stroud (+200) is the favorite to be the first selection, according to the folks at DraftKings. Alabama star quarterback Bryce Young has the second best odds, and his teammate Will Anderson, an Edge rusher, has the third best odds. Then Johnson (+1000) and Smith-Njigba (+1500) round out the top five.
Need any proof Ohio State will field a loaded offense? The folks at the next level are already eyeing how they can get the best Buckeyes on their roster next spring. That’s the proof.
