# Mike Renner: In a retrospective on last year's preseason 2026 draft board, the writer says Arch Manning is the No. 1 player on their preseason 2027 draft board and that Trevor Goosby should end up a first-round pick. **Claimed:** Aug 25, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Renner — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-renner **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2026-nfl-draft-rankings-revisited-ahead-of-the-2027-ranking-reveal-heres-how-my-preseason-top-25-fared/ 2 checkable claims — 1 mock draft pick and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Goosby should still easily end up a first-rounder . *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Arch Manning to be 1st QB off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Arch Manning - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trevor Goosby to be picked “first-rounder” (picks 1–32)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trevor Goosby - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Arch Manning — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/arch-manning - Trevor Goosby — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/trevor-goosby ## What others said about the same people - Kyle Crabbs on Arch Manning: In a way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft, Crabbs projects all 32 first-round picks, starting with LaNorris Sellers to the Browns at No. 1 and Drew Allar to the Saints at No. 2. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/851c6bce-ef17-4f39-8c0f-58744c8d8f72 (scored 0) - Chris Brockman on Arch Manning: Brockman predicted the NFC South order as Falcons first, Buccaneers second, Panthers third, Saints last, with both Atlanta and Tampa making the playoffs; they also expect the Saints to end up with the No. 1 overall pick and select Arch Manning. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/131d5e9e-fb6e-4065-b724-39f59b1083a6 (scored 0) - Jason McIntyre on Arch Manning: Filling in as host, McIntyre ranked the eight remaining divisional-round quarterbacks from 8 to 1, with Josh Allen first and Bo Nix last.
