Here’s a rewritten version of the content in my own words:
Who do you think will be the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft? The answer varies depending on which sportsbook you consult. On DraftKings, Arch Manning is favored with odds of +225 to be the first selection. However, on FanDuel, he ranks fourth with +450 odds. As of August 1st, the odds for the top pick on DraftKings include Arch Manning (+225), Drew Arra (+275), Garrett Nussmeier (+425), Lanorris Sellers (+800), Cade Klubnik (+1200), Sam Leavitt (+2500), TJ Parker (+2500), and Caleb Downs (+2500). Meanwhile, Bandar offers Garrett Nussmeier (+380) as the favorite, followed by Cade Klubnik and Lanorris Sellers (both +430), with Arch Manning coming in at +450.
The Manning family has a well-known legacy of early draft picks. Archie Manning, the patriarch, was selected second overall by New Orleans in 1971. His son Peyton went first overall to the Indianapolis Colts in 1998, and Eli was the top pick by the New York Giants in 2004. Now, Arch Manning, the youngest in the family, is expected to take the reins as quarterback for the Texas Longhorns next season. In 2023, he appeared in two games completing two passes for 30 yards. Last season, he played in 10 games, completing 61 of 90 passes for 939 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 108 yards and four touchdowns.
FanDuel favors quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who threw for 4,052 yards last season at LSU.
Fan Take: This ongoing anticipation around the 2026 NFL Draft highlights the excitement and uncertainty that fuels NFL fan culture. With legendary names like the Mannings continuing to emerge, this draft could shape the future of the league and keep fans engaged for years to come.
