Sellers looks like an interesting prospect, wouldn't surprise me if he is at the top when the dust settles.

Regardless of the ups and downs of the 'who', next year's class of QBs will be superior to this year's.

I wonder if Manning will declare if he has a great year. Or a team that is at 1 intrigue him in 2026

Bingo to the last part. There are situations that would be too good to pass up.
Say everything goes wrong and Pittsburgh gets the #1 pick. Or Dallas
. Most likely it'll be the Jags and the Browns and the usual suspects, but there are years where crazy things happen (Luck to IND, famously).

I think Pitt is still too good all-around for that to happen. You make a great point and what I was alluding to. It will be interesting to see how it shapes out. I think it will depend on who is there. I think it is hard to just assume he wont declare.

Its WAY early, but I think this is going to be another really popular Draft for QBs in round 1.

I think that's the million dollar question because he is expected to be great, but he just doesn't have much starting experience or games played yet. That might be the tipping point in him deciding to stay in college another two years, I mean, besides the boatload he will make in NIL.
Speaking of NIL, Texas is projected to spend upwards of 40 million dollars on their roster this upcoming season lol. College football is truly a pro sport now

Wow...
$40mm
Buckeyes only had to spend $24m for their champions...

Yup...wave of the future. You'll only be able to compete if you have boosters with deep pockets. The rest of college football becomes irrelevant
