For all intents and purposes, the intrigue of the NFL Draft will begin with the New York Jets at No. 2. Fanatics Sportsbook currently has Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 1 at -100000, so it’s nothing more than a formality at this point. Below, we will look at what the current NFL Draft odds are for picks 2-5, which is the area of most interest a little more than 24 hours from the start of the show in Pittsburgh.
New York Jets No. 2 pick odds
It’s pretty much a coin flip at No. 2 as the Jets seem to be targeting either Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey, or Ohio State LB Arvell Reese.
Our NFL Mock Draft had Jets GM Darren Mougey going with Bailey here. Bailey is -105 to be drafted second overall at Fanatics Sportsbook, while Arvell Reese (-130) has slightly better odds to be chosen here.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter discussed the Jets’ conundrum on “Get Up!” Wednesday. “I can tell you there is a feeling across the league that David Bailey is the most effective, productive pass rusher coming out of this draft,” Schefter said. “Arvell Reese may have some more upside and that could be something the Jets decide they want to bet on. But I think the feeling continues to be… that the Jets will go with Bailey. But again, they have been very intentional about not advertising their pick to anybody.”
Arizona Cardinals No. 3 pick odds
The whispers are that Arizona Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort wants to trade out of this pick. He may have some suitors as there may be several teams that want to leapfrog the Tennessee Titans at No. 4 in order to grab RB Jeremiyah Love. Love is the most explosive offensive player in this draft, and there is more than a decent chance that he will prove to be the biggest impact player coming out of this 2026 class.
If the Cards do stay put at 3, it’s likely that they’ll go with whichever defensive player the Jets don’t take. Fanatics currently has Reese to go at No. 3 at +175, and Bailey to go at No.3 at +175. Love is +200 to go in the No. 3 slot.
Tennessee Titans No. 4 pick odds
Love going at No. 4 overall is now -110 at Fanatics Sportsbook.
That said, NFL Insider Peter Schrager said earlier this week that he now does not believe the Titans will take Love at No. 4. “I’m moving off of [Love to the Titans],” Schrager said on his podcast, The Schrager Hour. “That is something I [initially] had in my mock draft. I think the Titans are taking one of the following players. Sonny Styles, the linebacker out of Ohio State or the Bailey/Reese who doesn’t go [at 2 or 3]. And my third backstop would be Carnell Tate. Carnell Tate could go as high as 4.”
Tate has been consistently mocked to the Commanders at No.7.
New York Giants No. 5 pick odds
The No. 5 pick is pretty much a mystery at this point. There are seven players at Fanatics Sportsbook with +1000 odds or lower to go in this spot:
- Sonny Styles (+200)
- Jordyn Tyson (+225)
- Jeremiyah Love (+375)
- Caleb Downs (+450)
- Carnell Tate (+750)
- Arvell Reese (+1000)
- Francis Mauigoa (+1000)
Our mock has the Giants picking Styles at No. 5, and New York taking Downs five picks later at No. 10.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer made the situation at 5 even murkier, when he reported this week that receivers Jordyn Tyson and Tate are “in play” for the Giants in this spot.
