With the NFL draft now in the books, many draft pundits are putting out their way too early 2026 mock drafts. Naturally, despite repeated claims that he wants to start for two seasons at Texas, Arch Manning is a name that has popped up in multiple mock drafts. In fact, Manning was picked to go number one overall to the New Orleans Saints by a couple of the draft pundits. I get the temptation to put Manning on the Saints.
