Eli Manning was drafted and became quickly a NY Giant

Let's hoping Thursday night brings us another good one!
I love me some Eli and wouldn't change a thing,

I didn't want Rivers even for a second.
Hell, at the time a lot of people didn't want Eli either.

Many of us were fine with Collins and saw Gallery and Taylor as immediate stars at their positions.

In the end though all three teams scored a franchise QB and wouldn't change a thing. Very rare for each guy to pan out like that.
A very fun day.

bought my first house, got married, had two kids, sold first house, bought new house in that time....

Man, some of the greatest moments of my life have happened in the past 14 years, including those two Superbowls.

was rescued by Papa Arch and Tom Condon so the spoiled brat didn't have to play in San Diego.

Now, the Chargees don't even want to play in San Diego.

Until I re read in "that time" I was thinking you did all of that on 4/24/04. I'd say that was an eventful day!
I liked all three QBs

But Eli was the one I had seen the least of. I was really impressed with Roethlisberger vs Bowling Green in blizzard conditions and if you watched the Senior Bowl that year, Rivers was on a different level than everyone else on the field (the Chargers staff was coaching his side and that's when they fell in love with him). I'd never actually seen Eli play but trusted others in their judgment that he was the clearcut #1 pick.
Here's some food for thought... 51 QBs drafted in 1st or 2nd round
