According to new reports, Bill Parcells has already ruled out taking Collins. That's that, I guess.
This is just my opinion, but I really don't see Eli Manning as a super prospect. Certainly a "safe" pick by QB standard, a great college player, but he doesn't have the arm-strength of a John Elway, the mobility of a Steve Young, or the intangibles of a Peyton Manning. He's very accurate, poised, and has great genes. He'd still be a first round pick if his name wasn't "Manning", but I wonder if he'd also still be someone a team like the Giants would be willing to give up so much to get.
Tim Couch isn't the same kind of player as Steve Young, but he certainly has the talent to be a fine replacement for Brett Favre. I'd still want to go somewhere where I could start immediately, though, if such a place exists(and it may not).
