The Carolina Panthers might be looking deep in the heart of Texas with this year’s 33rd overall pick.
BetCarolina.com released a fresh set of odds for the team’s first selection of the 2024 NFL draft. Sharing the top spot are University of Texas wideouts Adonai Mitchell and Xavier Worthy, who were also two of the brightest stars of the scouting combine.
Analyst Steve Bittenbender wrties:
It would likely be an upset if the Panthers did not pick a receiver when they kick off the second round of the NFL Draft. Who that receiver will be is more uncertain, although Xavier Worthy might have just secured a first-round draft slot after his record-setting 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. If Adonai Mitchell is still available, he’ll likely be the favorite, with Ladd McConkey a potential fallback pick.
Worthy came away with, perhaps, the biggest win of the weekend—posting a record-breaking 40-yard dash of 4.21 seconds. Mitchell wasn’t far behind, clocking his at a blazing 4.34 seconds.
Their complete odds for the 33rd pick are as follows:
- Mitchell/Worthy: +600 (14.3-percent chance)
- McConkey: +900 (10 percent)
- West Virginia C Zach Frazier: +900 (10 percent)
- Oregon WR Troy Franklin: +1200 (7.7 percent)
- Washington WR Ja’Lynn Polk: +1200 (7.7 percent)
- Other: +175 (36.4 percent)
