With the first round dust finally established after the first day of the NFL 2025 draft, we are only 364 days after the 2026 episode in Pittsburgh.
I would love to look a bit of no. 1 General selection, but is emerging as one of the most obvious dumps of all time. It is almost a certainty that there will be a tank from the end of the season next year among the worst teams of the League for the Gunsling with the last name of the Hall of Fame.
That player, or course, is Arch Manning.
Texas’s second year student is undoubtedly the best general prospect, despite launching 95 passes and nine touchdowns at the university level. Explorers have salivated Peyton and Eli’s nephew for years, and can finally show what is done as the head of Steve Sarkisian the next fall.
“It’s not even a debate,” said a professional sports gambler to Fox Sports. “You’re going to see a massive price in the arch when the market rises.
“The betting houses are not stupid. They will block the price and make you place thousands to win one hundred. If you work in Draftkings or Fanduel, it would open it -3000 to go first. There is nothing less.
“He is the guy if he hears.”
I can only imagine the price if everything is planned in Austin. Assuming that Manning is at the height of exaggeration and plays anywhere near a field marshal at Heisman level, it will be an astronomical expense in mid -March when Draft bets generally begin to heat up among the public.
Remember, former General Selections No. 1 such as Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence and Caleb Williams A -10000 or more approximately a few months before their respective drafts were offered. And Cam Ward reached those levels in early April.

I wrote a story three summers The impact of the Manning game In Texas football and spoke with the friends of marriage bets or Las Vegas for that story. The common issue was that Manning’s arrival would be a magnet for surrounding talent.
“[Arch’s signing] Talk about the quality of the recruits they are bringing and the program is on the right path, “the University Soccer Magician and former Circa Sportsbook Matt Metcalf director told me in July 2022.
“I would be surprised that Sarkisian did not have is not the success there, since it is a great offensive type, and it should be difficult to carry the pieces there.”
It should not surprise anyone that Texas is one of the favorites (along with Ohio State) to win the university football playoff next year. The horns are as low as +450 in the Westgate Superbook and as high as +650 in Fanduel.
And after arriving at the national semifinals a season ago, expectations will be simply higher with the former Isido Newman superstar in the center.
Manning heads a field marshal class full of stars that could also see Garrett Nussmeier from LSU, Drew Allar de Penn State and Carson Beck from Miami in the first round next year. Only two Quarterbacks, Ward and Jaxson Dart, were selected in Thorsday Night.
Stay tuned.
