10 years ago, the Indianapolis Colts made a defining move for their franchise when they took Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning with the first overall pick of the 1998 NFL Draft. That decision seems like a no-brainer now, given the run that Manning and the Colts have had over the last decade, but everything could have gone differently if newly-hired team president Bill Polian had said otherwise. Leading up to the draft, there were two clear choices for the ...Read More

I originally posted this article and the second article (picks 9-16) on Tuesday ...Read More
