Kayvon Thibodeaux Odds Surge for No 2 Pick (Is Thibodeaux Being Picked by Detroit Lions?)

Kayvon Thibodeaux is now tied as the betting favorite to be the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft next Thursday, which is currently held by the Detroit Lions.

Quietly on Tuesday, the NFL Draft betting market was shifting.

The Detroit Lions have the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft with several players being linked to the rebuilding roster. It's been assumed ahead of draft week that the team will select a pass rusher, likely the one that doesn't get picked first between Aidan Hutchinson and Travon Walker. However, Kayvon Thibodeaux's odds to be the No. 2 pick shifted on Tuesday.

Here are the updated odds from WynnBET Sportsbook for the No. 2 pick in next Thursday's NFL Draft:

Odds to be No. 2 Pick in NFL Draft

  • Travon Walker: +200
  • Kayvon Thibodeaux: +200
  • Aidan Hutchinson: +225
  • Malik Willis: +600
  • Kyle Hamilton: +800
  • Ahmad Gardner: +800
  • Ikem Ekwonu: +1500

Thibodeaux Odds On Move

Earlier in the college football season, the Oregon pass rusher was seen as the consensus No. 1 prospect, but attitude concerns led to a slip in his projection in mock drafts. However, it appears that someone is beginning to bet into the idea that he will be selected second, moving to a tie atop the oddsboard.

While there is no concrete reporting on this topic, it's even more interesting timing given the fact that there are some questions about who will be the No. 1 pick. Hutchinson has been the odds on favorite to go first for about a month, but Walker has been creeping up on him. The Heisman Trophy runner up is -320 still, but Walker is now +180.

Keep an eye on what Detroit does at No. 2, but it does appear that influential people in the betting market believe that they have Thibodeaux circled regardless of who goes No. 1.
