Galley Brother B.J. notices this re-imagining of recent NFL draft history:
In rebuilding the Chargers from the ruin of eight straight years without a winning record, Smith has assembled, mostly through the draft, what many believe to be the deepest roster in the NFL. His trademark is his decisiveness (some might call it stubbornness), which showed when he drafted (and then traded) Eli Manning against Manning’s wishes, and last offseason, won a power struggle with former coach Marty Schottenheimer.
San Diego traded Eli against his wishes? Does anyone else remember Old Man Manning proclaiming that Eli would never play for a small-market team and that if they didn’t trade him to a larger market, he’d sit a year?
