Sawyer Robertson: DJ Lagway 14th in No. 1 odds behind four quarterbacks

sawyer robertson sits in the angle, but the number that matters is DJ Lagway’s 14th-best odds to go No. 1 overall in next spring’s NFL Draft. FanDuel Sportsbook put the former Florida quarterback in that spot, leaving him behind nine quarterbacks in the current board.

Lagway Behind Nine Quarterbacks

Arch Manning, Dante Moore, CJ Carr and Julian Sayin were all listed ahead of him. That group gives a clear snapshot of where Lagway stands in the betting market right now: he is part of the conversation, but not near the top line for the first pick.

Fernando Mendoza already went No. 1 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders out of Indiana in the 2026 NFL Draft, and that draft is now in the books. Lagway’s standing comes after that pick has already been made, so the attention now shifts to the next spring class and where the market places him inside it.

Florida And Baylor Threads

Lagway was never a No. 1 overall pick while at Florida. He is now getting to play for his father’s alma mater of Baylor, which adds another layer to how he is being discussed as a draft prospect.

For readers following the draft market, the practical takeaway is simple: Lagway is not priced like the front-runner for the top pick, and several quarterbacks sit ahead of him before next spring even arrives. If that board changes, the comparison set already starts with Manning, Moore, Carr and Sayin rather than with Lagway at the front.
