Your argument is compelling... Granted, I suppose very few here have said DON'T take a franchise guy if he's there. Even Chan and Buddy said that last year. I doubt that view has changed, however, Chan said otherwise because it's not likely that franchise guy will be there. And, even still, you don't want to keep setting your team back (that can be bad for your rookie too- not many can bring a team from the ashes like Manning did), so you want to make sure he's sitting behind a guy like Fitzpatrick, and you eliminate the need to score 30 PPG.
