CLEVELAND -- As the 2018 NFL Draft nears, the Cleveland Browns have yet to tip their hand as to who they plan on selecting with the No. 1 overall pick.
That, however, hasn't stopped handicappers from trying to project who the Browns will select.
On Monday, betting site Bovada released various odds and prop bets for the first round of the NFL Draft, which will take place on Thursday night. When it comes to Cleveland's top pick, six names are listed, although a clear-cut front-runner appears to have emerged, with USC quarterback Sam Darnold possessing 5/12 (-240) odds of being the No. 1 overall pick.
Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen ranks second at 8/5 (+160), with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley coming in third at 11/2 (+550). Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield (10/1) and UCLA signal-caller Josh Rosen (18/1) rank fourth and fifth, respectively, with North Carolina State defensive end Bradley Chubb (45/1) rounding out the top-six.
When it comes to the No. 2 pick, which is currently owned by the New York Giants, Barkley (13/10) is the betting favorite, while Rosen (7/5) is currently favored to be selected by the New York Jets third overall. As for the No. 4 overall pick, which the Browns also lay claim to, Chubb (10/11) is the only single player listed, with the field possessing 10/13 (-130) odds.
The first round of the draft will emanate from Arlington, Texas, on Thursday, with rounds 2 and 3 occurring on Friday and the remaining four rounds carrying out on Saturday. The first round on Thursday is scheduled to kickoff at 8 p.m. ET.
