Pick 6: Odds on where Drew Lock will start in 2021, DeShaun Watson joins the Broncos – The Denver Post

There’s been plenty of speculation as to where Houston quarterback DeShaun Watson will end up next season.

Denver Post columnist Mark Kiszla thinks it should be Denver, writing, “He’s one of the few QBs who could put the Broncos back on equal footing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.”

But where does that leave incumbent starter Drew Lock? A couple of oddsmakers have the 24-year-old as a longshot to start elsewhere come Week 1.

With Philip Rivers announcing his retirement on Wednesday, the Colts job is open. Betonline.ag has the odds at +5,000 — meaning a $100 bet would win $5,000 — that Lock will be Indianapolis’ starter. Meanwhile sportsbetting.com has him as +2,500 to be Drew Brees’ successor in New Orleans.
