Quote:The whole "top draft pick" concept is a bit narrow minded. Just look at Indianapolis with Peyton Manning. Yes, he had a major part in turning that organization around, but he didn't do it all by himself. When he arrived, he already had a First Round Wide Receiver in Marvin Harrison, a top flight Left Tackle in Tarik Glenn, and they added a Top five all time Pass Rusher in Dwight Freeney.

 

Was Manning key to that? Yes. Was he the only key to that? Not in my opinion.

 

Is the #1 overall draft pick helpful? Oh yes, absolutely. But if you put all of your eggs in that basket you're probably going to end up being disappointed. It takes a lot of very good football players to make a very good team.

Teddy #1 pick

First Round WR (hopefully) Blackmon

Top Flight LT (hopefully) Joeckel

Pass Rusher TBD

 

Teddy will help bring it all together my friend. I love Teddy but heck... even i don't care who is the QB of this team as long as they are really good and help us win. It could be ANYONE but i think Teddy has the best chance of being a franchise guy.
