Personally I'm a much bigger fan of the Colts/Chargers/Giants approach but hey you get what you get.

The big thing you ignore here is that the Colts drafting Manning.... a multi year starter and very successful player.
The Chargers drafted Rivers, a multi year starter and very successful player.
The Giants drafter the other Manning, again, a mult year starter and successful player.
Other than maybe Peyton, these guys were not on teams with clearly superior talent to those around them.
And, none of them played in the weak Pac 10 against substandard competition.
Other than Stafford, there was no QB in this draft that would compare to those three coming out of college.
That is the difference.
