Dolphins avoid holdout mess by signing No. 1 pick Jake Long before the draft. This Parcells guy must know what he's doing. Plus: NHL playoffs.
  • Draft Day

    Since the Super Bowl began, only 3 quarterbacks taken with the number one overall pick have won it for the team that picked them:

    Terry Bradshaw

    Troy Aikman

    Peyton Manning

    Several other number ones have won a Super Bowl with a different team, however I suspect that is cold comfort to the teams that originally drafted them (Eli Manning being the most recent, I wonder how the Chargers feel about Philip Rivers now?).

    Moral of the story? Trade down, or take a kicker and save the money for free agents...
