Arming Gang Green with three first-round picks gives them all the draft ammo in the world, but they stay right at No. 3 to grab their franchise cornerstone. Arch Manning brings explosive arm talent and dual-threat mobility to the New York Jets, stepping into an offense already loaded with blue-chip weapons.

"Manning possesses the physical ability and flashes of processing acumen that translate to the NFL. He's still learning to become a more efficient field general, but he wins with plus-athleticism as a scrambler."
