Even though there are still several weeks remaining in the 2021 NFL season, that hasn't stopped people from looking ahead to the 2022 NFL Draft. Anything can happen at any given draft, however, oddsmakers have released odds regarding who they think will be selected first overall next April.

FanDuel Sportsbook is currently listing a pair of defensive ends as co-favorites to go first overall at the 2022 NFL Draft. Both Aidan Hutchison of the Michigan Wolverines and Kayvon Thibodeaux of the Oregon Ducks share +105 odds.

Hutchinson had a monster season for the Wolverines. While he was impressive with 58 total tackles (15.5 for a loss) and two forced fumbles, his 14.0 sacks were considerably more than the 3.5 he had in the previous three seasons combined. He even finished second in Heisman Trophy voting when all was said and done.

Meanwhile, Thibodeaux also had a season to be proud of, finishing with 49 total tackles, 7.0 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles despite missing two games due to injury. Even if his stats aren't as high as Hutchinson's, Thibodeaux has been in the first overall conversation dating back to October.

Pittsburgh Panthers QB Kenny Pickett has the distant third-best odds (+750) to go first overall at the NFL Draft. The senior gunslinger completed 67.2% of his passes in 13 games for a career-best 4,319 passing yards and 42 touchdowns (to seven interceptions) this season.

Here's a look at how the rest of the odds to go first overall at the 2021 NFL Draft are looking.
