1. Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins have a promising QB in Dwayne Haskins, but the organization is the favorite to end up with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Though Haskins has shown improvements, are the Redskins (currently listed at a league-worst +15000 odds to win the Super Bowl) really going to pass up on a quarterback in Trevor Lawrence who has the ability to become one of the greats? Probably not.

The Redskins will be looking at Haskins under a microscope this season and if things don’t go as they want (and they probably won’t), it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see them trade Haskins for another draft pick or look to part ways with their former first-round pick in favor of drafting a better options.

At this point, the Redskins are the overarching favorites to finish with the worst record in the league and that’s why they have to be the favorite to end up with Lawrence at the quarterback position.
