NFL odds: 49ers' Nick Bosa co-favorite to win Defensive Rookie of Year

Share

The 49ers drafted Nick Bosa to help their pass rush, along with newly acquired Dee Ford.

Bosa arguably was the most talented player in this year's NFL draft, and the 49ers jumped at the opportunity to select him at No. 2 after the Arizona Cardinals took quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick. 

It seems the fine folks in Las Vegas -- who know a thing or two about making money -- also believe Bosa is the best rookie in this draft class. At least, on the defensive side of the ball. 

Bosa currently is listed as the co-favorite to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, per Caesar's Palace Sports Book. New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams also is listed as a co-favorite to take home the award at +400.

Across the Bay, Clelin Ferrell, whom the Raiders selected with the No. 4 overall pick, currently sits with the fifth-best odds, along with Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White.

It's only May, but if Vegas knows anything, the 49ers hit a home run with their first-round pick.
