Even the biggest Joe Burrow fans have to admit that, as a pure talent, Chase Young is about as good as they come in this year's draft class. He almost certainly won't be the top pick, though, with the Cincinnati Bengals zeroing in on the LSU quarterback.

So which team will spring for the star edge rusher from Ohio State? Here are the odds and a breakdown of his most likely landing spots.

The favorites

Washington is the prohibitive favorite for Young, and it isn't close. With the No. 2 pick and a roster in need of just about everything, Young is easily the "best player available" after one of the most dominant seasons we've seen from a defender in recent years - especially from an edge rusher, a position often in high demand this early in the draft. Young's former teammates Nick Bosa and Joey Bosa both went in the top three, behind only quarterbacks, and Young is on pace to do the same.

If the Redskins pass on Young, the Lions would be in a perfect position to add him to their burgeoning defense, or perhaps a team like the Giants would be willing to trade up from No. 4 for a chance at the generational talent. The Bengals are a long shot to take him at No. 1, but it'd be the most plausible way that he doesn't go second overall.

Do any teams offer value?

If you're interested in investing your money for a week at 8% interest and minimal risk, then sure, the Redskins offer some value here. Otherwise, it's not likely that any team has a chance at Young after the second pick, so it's not worth laying odds on anyone shorter than 30-1.

There has been some smoke about Washington taking a shot at Tua Tagovailoa at No. 2, which could open the door for a team like the Lions to get into the mix. There's also the possibility a team like the Panthers, whose front office is familiar with new 'Skins coach Ron Rivera, could be in the mix to facilitate their rebuild.

Best bet

Carolina Panthers +4500

It's hard to call anything at -1250 odds a "best bet," because you're likely not in a position to risk that kind of money for such a small reward. There simply aren't great odds on the teams below Washington, either. So we'll go with the Panthers, who desperately need talent on defense and have an owner who isn't afraid to take swings to get his guy. The relationship between Rivera and Carolina's front office was already demonstrated by the Kyle Allen trade earlier this offseason; perhaps things get a little spicier this time around. At 45-1, it's at least worth a shot.
