Thanks for the time and effort you put into this, Dan. I've been holding off on a new franchise idea until this release.
Below is how the first round went in an alternate reality franchise based on Peyton Manning leaving after his junior year and being drafted first overall by the Jets in 1997, with several other QB's ending up on other teams. Philip Rivers is on the Cardinals, which is why you see the Chargers drafting second overall after going 3-13 with Brady Quinn, who succeeded Daunte Culpepper.
