That's a wrap on the 2025 NFL Draft. For scouting departments and general managers across the league, the mindset is "on to 2026." Maybe the March for Arch will be fruitful, bringing fortune to an NFL team that flops early and never recovers in 2025. Arch Manning is the No. 1-ranked player projected to be available in the 2026 draft next April. But the spring preseason draft board and the version nailed down approximately 11 months from now won't be carbon copies. Not only is Manning a massive projection given his relative inexperience, there is more than enough time for another quarterback -- or playmaker, a la Travis Hunter -- to emerge as the best of the Class of 2026.
