"I would take him No. 3 overall. Without a question," Matt Rhule told ESPN's Pete Thamel .

Given that slide, it comes as no surprise there are now head-turning odds for Sanders when it comes to the first few selections. According to DraftKings, he is +750 to go No. 3 overall, +4,500 to go No. 4 overall and +5,000 to go No. 5 overall.

Sanders is the highest-touted guy in this year’s class of legacy players — those with relatives who also competed at the pro level — and it wasn’t just his dad propelling him toward the big stage. Sanders also may be the most connected draft prospect in history.
