The rumor that's speed-dialing its way around the NFL is the Chargers' initial evaluations have Ben Roethlisberger rated as the top quarterback in the draft, ahead of Eli Manning. What the Chargers have to wrestle with, should they decide to keep the first overall pick and select a quarterback, is this: Can they pass up a Manning and live to tell about it? Trading WR David Boston last week also leaves the team with a bigger need at receiver than at quarterback and could give the Chargers an out. By selecting WR Larry Fitzgerald or Roy Williams, the Chargers could minimize the criticism that would result from passing on Manning. . . .
Chargers might pass on Eli Manning

yeah, but you never know. even the days before the draft im sure there will be a lot of changes and thats not even considering the actual draft day. thats the thing about mocks, none are very accurate because so many people trade up and down it screws up everything. this is a really good mock will give you three solid possibilitesthe dude abides

I don't see SD taking Eli, mainly because they just re-signed Doug Flutie to a 3 year deal and i remember reading somewhere where they told Drew Brees that he's still in their plans. I think they will select a WR and hope Brees is better with him. Even selecting Eli won't do much if you have no WR's.Impossible is Nothing.

But yeah, if they don't pick Eli this year they'd be missing out on yet another Manning and will probably kill themselves over it years to come.
Don't the Mannings have yet another younger brother???
