Re-Drafting the 2004 NFL Draft | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

What actually happened: Drafted QB Philip Rivers

Where Rivers was actually picked: Fourth overall by the Giants

I mean, this is technically the guy the Giants drafted. And under these circumstances, Rivers is clearly the best option. The Giants would just have to hope he'd have been able to replicate Manning's playoff success in 2007 and/or 2011, or lead them on championship runs in other seasons in which Rivers was a standout quarterback and Manning was not (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013, for example).
