2027 Portal QB discussion

Unless he has a disastrous second half of the szn he's a lock for the 1st round seeing as Arch has **** the bed

There isn’t a quota that must hit for total 1st round QBs drafted yearly….

Austin Simmons vs Braden Atkinson h2h for same money? (Personally I think Atkinson and Legree are going to be a package deal if they leave for someone, so I doubt we'd go for them).

Also WHAT IF Arch at like legit $0 NIL in a move by him to try to save his stock (allowing us the NIL to go for OL, DT, etc for legit 3 additional high priced portal guys) OR just like Austin Simmons at top of market rate or whoever you're prefered Portal Qb is? This to me is actually a very interesting question. I have no idea how much Arch actually gets or anything, and obviously he could just transfer somewhere that would be willing to pay him, or even still declare and likely at least still be a 2nd or 3rd rounder at worst.... But interesting to think about

Personally and I'll keep saying it, option #1 is keep Mensah. People acting like its already a guarantee he leaves are kinda trippin. Is it very likely? Yes. Heisman and/or Natty likely significantly pushes him in the NFL direction, but still.... If he's not a lock 1st it's better to return.

Trumpycane heard, and take with a grain of salt, from an Auburn booster that Manning’s NIL coming into college was minuscule relative to his ranking, obviously it can be a different case now

See this is kinda what I was thinking.
If you combined him making basically no NiL and that freeing up money for legit another 2 TOP non qb portal adds, the fact it would essentially be his money year that he NEEDED to show a massive leap…. And we would absolutely have the money to retain Nickel too…. I don’t hate it.

Would I take it over Simmons at top NIL? Honestly maybe. Would I take it over Mensah just returning? Probably not. Would I take it over just rolling with Nickel? Yeah.

Dolphins, Jets, Cardinals, Browns are all teams expected to take a heavy look @ QB in the first. Again if he continues performing at this same rate he will have a first round grade, he could pull a Dante Moore sure but it wont be because he's not a lock for the First Round.
