I'm not sold on Allar and I don't think Manning is coming out after this year. But you're right, we need to grab one either this year or next. If Manning pans out, I sell my soul to move up and grab him.

This is another reason trading Parsons for a boatload of draft capital would have been smart.

He's got three more years and he and Archie both say he's playing all three years at Texas.

No he has two years of eligibility left. He can declare for the draft after this season, although the Manning family said he would not be doing that.

Pretty sure its two. He didn't redshirt and has played in both seasons he's been there.
