How Far Does Peyton Manning Drop ??

Keith · #1 08-25-2008, 08:35 AM

reading alot of inside reports that are not good. More swelling they can't control--a second surgery the Colts refuse to acknowledge, etc...

I have the # 9 pick, which means I pick at # 16 in the second round (6 pts. for passing TDs). I KNOW that Brady and Romo are gonna go in the first round. Brees is gonna go early too (I spoke to the guy who picks at 12/13, and he will take him over an injured Manning).

So--do I take Manning at # 16 ? If I do, I will have to grab probably 2 more QBs and assume that Manning is not good to go until after the week 4 bye. But maybe the knee is even more serious, and like Harrison last year, he is not good to go all year

.

If I pass on Manning at # 16, by the time I pick again, Big Ben and Palmer will certainly be gone. Then I am looking at Donovan McNabb as my QB

.

I think I could live with a stud WR at # 16 (Fitzy ?) and then McNabb at # 33. Can I ????? Or is Manning's upside (and easy schedule) too much to pass up ?

What say ye ??

I think McNabb has a good year this year... that being said, it's all about whether you think Peyton will play. I can't really "waste" a pick on a guy that might not play the 1st 3 weeks.

well, if I also grabbed Warner he should be good for the first month--which is when he'd likely get hurt and/or lose the job. I'd look to take another QB as well (V. Young, Campbell, etc...). Definitely would NOT take Sorgi or Leinart.

Manning has some serious upside my friends.

Could be seeing the Pujols "elbow" affect. He dropped to the second round in a lot of drafts and had a great year. Manning might be more injured then they are saying but they might just be playing it up. I hate dishonest people.

I've got the 4th pick in two drafts and have no idea what to do.

Addai.....Not thrilled with him

Westbrook..... Prob won't be there.

S. Jackson.... Is prob the best option.

No way I'm taking Brady like a lot of people are doing.

yeah, I guess, Warner or Eli might hold you over until then...

i wouldn't take manning at 16 if you are assuming he wont be ready til after the bye...then your entire draft is behind the 8 ball taking a back up earlier than u should. I would only draft him that early if you thought like ron that he would be fine to go by the season. brady is the only guy i would consider in the first and he's probably going to be gone. Idk why romo would go that early either...your best bet is probably a rb at that spot imo

I appreciate that opinion. I'd love to have LJ fall to me all the way at 16, but I suspect I'll be looking at RBs like Grant, Willis or Lewis. None of them thrill me. I would more likely go with a top WR (I suspect all will be there other than Moss and TO---if not for the Manning concerns I'd go Wayne). Choice between Fitzy or Edwards (I won't take Andre Johnson that high).

Colts activated QB Peyton Manning (knee) from the camp/PUP list. Manning is expected to practice Tuesday.
This should calm everyone down. "We'll ease him in and see how he practices and what he's able to do and we'll see from there," coach Tony Dungy said. While we're not out of the woods yet, this keeps Manning on track to play in Week 1. It's possible he won't fully practice until next week, but this is a big first step. Aug. 25 - 1:39 pm et
