What do you mean by saying they drafted him with protection in mind? The Colts only drafted one offensive lineman in 10 years prior to drafting Manning. They didn't take another offensive lineman in the first round until 2008. I didn't see Sean Peyton draft offensive lineman to build his offensive Juggernaut either. Can you name any team in the modern era, that has a top rate offense, that consistently drafted O-lineman high in the draft?
