We just closed the door on a dramatic 2025 NFL Draft, but it’s never too early to look ahead to next year’s draft class.
Arch Manning is the obvious favorite to go first overall in 2026, but to probably the surprise of many, he’s not too heavy of a favorite over Drew Allar and Garrett Nussmeier.
Oddsmakers at SportsBetting.ag said that the possibility of Manning not entering the 2026 draft is baked into the line. If it were guaranteed that he wouldn’t return for another college season, Manning would be around a -200 favorite.
The only non-QB in the Top 5 players on the board is Ohio State’s stud wide receiver, Jeremiah Smith.
Here are the opening odds for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, courtesy of SportsBetting.ag:
