I bet there isn't a day that goes by without the Colts kicking themselves for passing on Leaf and taking Peyton first. Stoopid Colts.
Its fun to look back at older drafts and see "what could have been". Like the Bears drafting Curtis Enis with the #5 pick, and Patriots taking RB Robert Edwards (?) with the #18 pick.... and then Ahman Green gets drafted in the 3rd round.
