Kirkendall Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 From the New York Post..A well-informed source with knowledge of the Giants' thinking yesterday said if the team stays at #4 and Iowa tackle Robert Gallery isn't there, they definitely will take Roethlisberger. If Gallery is there, he's the newest Giants lineman. It's impossible not to be intrigued by Roethlisberger (6-5, 241 pounds), who has a better arm than Manning but not the pedigree. One caveat is the level of competition in the MAC. The Giants would want to groom Roethlisberger for a year or two, meaning he'd watch and learn behind Collins or another veteran, in the unlikely event Collins is released. Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Ok this is what I see most likely to happen.some basic facts first...1. It was A.J.Smith (General Manager- S.D. Chargers) who leaked story about Manning not wanting to be a charger !2. Don't expect him to be a GM for too much longer.. Okay back to the post.. My trade scenarios...1. Cleveland to # 1 sending Tim Couch ( unable to work Packers trade ) to San Diego . Cleveland adds a 2nd this year, and a pick in '05. They draft Robert Gallery.2. San Diego ( because of lack of team direction ) crumbles under Mannings' pressure and works trade out with Giants. Giants have all the leverage and only give up a 2nd and a late round pick in '04. - Giants draft Manning - and release Collins in '05.3. Redskins ship Patrick Ramsey to S.D. with Chris Samuels and their 3rd rounder for # 1. and draft Manning for themselves.4. Same trade as # 3 but take Robert Gallery instead.5. ( part of # 1 ) - Raiders take Eli Manning for themselves at # two. Quote
