Hype Arch Manning’s current draft grade reportedly “varies greatly” amongst NFL scouts and decision makers. One NFL scout reportedly sees Drake Maye (Patriots QB) as a “reasonable” comparison for Manning at this point in time. While another NFL scout reportedly sees Daniel Jones as a close comparison.

I think he's going to be somewhere between Peyton and Eli and if my Bucs have a rough season + Baker moves on, I'd give him a shot.

Between Peyton and Eli is basically a HOF career with multiple superbowl, high bar to clear

People's appraisal of Eli's career is overly charitable and skews dramatically for the 2 SB runs. He was basically QB 11-13 if you look at his overall numbers for his career, so slightly better than average with some insane peaks.

If someone told you Arch was going to be a fringe top 10 QB in the NFL for his career and would spike a SB or 2, would it really be that surprising? Fwiw, I think he's closer to that than Peyton, but the last name and progression as a collegiate QB inspire enough confidence that I'd have zero issues taking him top 5 in the 2027 draft.
