00:00Early odds, Zeno, for the 2026 NFL Draft, number one overall selection.

00:05Arch Manning, the quarterback for Texas, is that slight favorite at plus 230.

00:10Garrett Nussmeyer, the quarterback at LSU, a plus 360 price, second best.

00:16Drew Aller from Penn State, Lenora Sellers from South Carolina,

00:19tied for the third best price at 5-1.

00:22And Cade Klubnick, the signal caller once again at Clemson, a 9-1 price.

00:27Zeno, let's fast forward to the end of April 2026.

00:32Who's the first guy walking across the stage to greet Roger Goodell?

00:37Well, it's most likely going to be Arch Manning.

00:39I mean, whether, you know, he has a season that warrants Heisman consideration,

00:45whether he has a season that, you know, leads Texas into the college football playoff

00:50and the national championship are different conversations.

00:52By all accounts, Arch Manning is the next coming of Eli Manning,

00:58who was the next coming of Peyton Manning.

01:00So it all stands to reason that it's all in the family here.

01:03But I would be hard-pressed to believe that Arch Manning, you know,

01:09won't be the number one overall pick.

01:11The only thing I think that would delay him being the number one overall pick

01:13is if he decides, guess what?

01:15I'm going back to college for another year, right?

01:17Like, that's the only thing that takes it off the board at this point in time.

01:21If he lives up to the billing, and again, it's hard to see that he won't,

01:25even though we have a very limited sample size of what we've seen from him

01:29actually playing so far, by all accounts, most of these NFL scouts and GMs

01:34and the people who they talk to, who oddsmakers talk to,

01:36to set these kind of lines are telling you that Arch Manning

01:40is going to be the prohibitive number one guy.
