Hear me out on this. I try to stay within the realm of possibility on most of my posts and this subject probably doesn't put me there or does it?
- SD has the top pick where Eli is expected to be picked (whether SD has it April 23rd or not).
- SD already has a young QB whom they used a high pick on (2nd rounder) just three years ago. The same draft where they traded away the chance to select Vick.
- SD still has the bad taste in their mouth from drafting (and paying) Ryan Leaf at the #2 pick overall.
- SD has a ton of holes to fill on defense, OL and WR.
- SD coach Marty Schottenheimer wouldn't know what to do with a franchise QB and would prefer a care-taker type to run his low risk-just don't turn the ball over offense.
Make no mistake, SD will be taking offers........ Enter Miami.
- Miami has a budding star in DE, and probowl bound, Adewale Ogunleye.
- Miami will tender this restricted free agent at 1st and 3rd round compensation therefore ensuring compensation WHEN (not if) he is signed by another team. This makes him no worse than two high draft picks in this draft.
If Miami is serious about getting a can't miss franchise QB who'll be here for the next 12-14 years then this is what they should offer SD:
- their 1st rounder this year (20th overall),
- newly tendered Ogun
- conditional 05' pick
- and what the hell we'll throw in Greenwood or Moore to give SD a young body to play at LB.
Miami gets Manning.
SD gets picks in 04' and 05' and a DE to pair up with Wiley who could end up being the next Michael Strahan (apoligies to JT, he just reminds me more of Strahan and plays RDE too). This deal is likely conditional on Ogun agreeing to a deal in principle so that SD doesn't have to worry about losing him to another team should they sign him to an outrageous offer sheet (and getting 1st and 3rd rounds picks from that team). Admittedly I don't know SD's cap situation so matching such an offer may be prohibitive for them to do so but I'm playing devil's advocate here.
All right, let the critism begin. Is this a possibility (however remote it may be)?
