Next year's NFL draft quarterback class is projected to be much deeper than this one's. On3's J.D. PicKell believes the headliner of that group, Texas Longhorns passer Arch Manning, won't even decide to throw his name in the ring for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Cleveland pairs its new franchise quarterback, Arch Manning, with the most electric receiver from the 2026 draft class. Tyson (6-1, 195 pounds) averaged 3.04 yards per route with a 67% contested catch rate (10-of-15) for the Big 12 champs, as QB Sam Leavitt and much of the offense returns intact.
