Adam was already the most likely guy to take Peyton Manning in the first round, but having the eigth pick pretty much sealed the deal. It's right about the cutoff point where most of the sure fire backs are off the board, so Manning would be a pretty good value pick here. Manning has never missed a start as an NFL quarterback, which is an amazing statement in itself. In fact, while you were reading that last sentence, Donovan McNabb tore both his triceps and pulled a quad. Manning is also extremely consistent. He's never thrown for fewer than 26 touchdowns in a season, and holds the NFL single season record for tossing 49 TD's in 2004. Manning is a goofy bastard, there's no arguing that, but by the time he retires, there's a good chance he could be remembered as the greatest quarterback to play the game. With the usual suspects (Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark) still around in the passing game, plus first round pick Anthony Gonzalez, there's no reason to expect anything else out of Peyton but another league leading season.

And if the situation called for it, he'd kill a snitch.
