Trade the Pick

In the last 6 NFL drafts the San Diego Chargers held the first overall pick twice.
Both times they traded the pick.
The first time they traded Mike Vick and got LaDanian Tomlinson and Drew Brees (the two best players in the NFL this season).
In 2004 they traded Eli Manning for Philip Rivers and Shawne Merriman.
All four players they acquired in those deals are better than both players they gave up.

i beleive they also got Kaeding with the Giants pick in the '04 draft. Although he missed the kick yesterday, he's been pretty good
