Yeah I'm not sure really. Exact pick #s are confusing to me because how do they come up with the odds. Obviously they try and balance as much money on each side so they profit no matter what each number/side pays out. There would be so many mouths to keep quiet if they had insider information with this stuff. The O/U pick lines would seem to be way easier to pinpoint than exact pick #.
Get me 10 sacks a year and I don't give a fuck he's got T-Rex arms. Just keep gap discipline in the run game and let everyone else do their job.
I'm in the same boat. I get my info from Jet Youtubers and there is very little consensus in this draft. Different "experts" have very different opinions. It should be interesting.
No way, that would be bonkers. Somebody would pull the trigger on him in the top 3. Could the Lions, who need pass rush help, really pass on the home-state, nearly consensus top player in the draft?
If this was to happen I’d be happier then a pig in shit. Hutchinson’s overall upside might not impress most, but his motor, and drive in second to none. Watched a lot of Michigan games last year and his motor in snaps was always consistent. I don’t know if this will happen but god I hope so.
this is one of the least predictable drafts i can recall (at the top), so i think this take is as legit as any. for example, i never understood why he was thought to be anymore of a lock at 1 than a handful of other guys
Just based off the odds: Hutchinson now -200 to be taken by Detroit and the Jets have Ekwonu, Johnson, Sauce, and Hutch as basically a dead heat odds wise Other interesting odds: Cross is favored for the Giants at 5 and Stingley/ Ekwonu seems to be close to a toss up for the Texans My gut is Ekwonu for us but hope I’m wrong
I am not sure where these odds are coming from, but according to draft kings, Hutch is a sizable favorite for Detroit over KT. Hutch is -200, while KT is +135. Walker is a huge favorite for #1 overall at -450. So, per odds, it looks like Walker #1, Hutch #2, then Stingley/Ikey are very close at +150/+200 respectively, and then Gardner/Ikey very close odds to the Jets, with JJ lurking right behind. Hutch could slide if not taken by Detroit, but like I showed before, odds are pretty solid (-200 for #2) he doesn't.
The Lions have been terrible for a long time. Their travails make the Jets look like the Steelers by comparison. They aren't going to pass up the home town hero who is as marketable as Hutch is. They have to be thinking about what happens if the guy they take busts and Hutch proves out. There would be outright rioting in the fan base.
I think it''s because everything has been quiet on the hutch front and KT basically came out and said the lions were taking him
Well to be fair, they've been terrible for a long time because they have looked to draft "marketable" or local stars above the better options their GM has been saying some peculiar things about the importance of analytics in scouting the draft, that is something someone who doesnt care about marketable local stars would say...
