No surprise here, but the top two picks of the 2020 NFL Draft have opened as the betting favorites to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year awards.

Quarterback Joe Burrow, who went first overall to the Cincinnati Bengals, has the shortest odds to win Offensive ROY at +250, while defensive end Chase Young, who was drafted second by the Washington Redskins, has the best odds to win Defensive ROY at +400.

Of course, not every player who is listed in either market was a first-round selection, so these odds may shift after Rounds 2-7 take place on Friday and Saturday. But with Day 1 in the books, we've outlined all the rookies listed at +2500 odds or shorter to win this season's hardware.
