[Manning and Luck [Mega-merge]]

:manning: without a doubt. Would be nice to be able to have Luck on the bench, but the demand from some fans/media to play the first pick and the fact that the Colts would have the worst draft (of active players) ever (we use the 1st to get a benchwarmer, so our first pick is essentially the 33. pick - one lower than after the SB win). You don't let the greatest player of all time go while he obviously still has fire in his belly! If Manning isn't progressing as planned, of course you get the best possible replacement, but nothing I have read/seen has indicated this to be the case.

[Minnesota Wins! We Clinch #2 Overall Pick!]

As far as moving Castonzo to RT, several draft reports commented on his lack of versatility as to what positions he could play. Here is one from draftbreakdown.com: Castonzo lacks ideal lower body strength, however, and can lose anchor quite frequently against power rushers. Lack of versatility is also an issue, as Castonzo is not suited to play right tackle or any guard position. He can stand too tall at times, allowing the defender to push him off balance and collapse the pocket.
