We still need Arch Manning to declare for the draft knowing the Saints have that pick, and not to pull an Eli regarding telling the Saints not to draft him. Having two former top Texas teammates already on the Saints should help with that recruiting. Its more awkward to say you can't ever go there when several of your respected college teammates are already on the team, unless they say bad things about it to him of course.

And yes, I get that Arch hasn't done anything extraordinary at the college level yet, just looked pretty good in limited time. But when I factor in his age and his competition (Ewers was the #1 overall recruit in the nation two years before Manning was), his unprecedented pedigree, his high school records, his size, and his speed, I am all in on Arch at this point. If the 2026 draft were today, I would take him #1 overall.

Honestly, Bako, where do you come up with this goofy crap?
