What are you all talking about? In 1998 the Colts had the #1 pick. They selected Peyton. Peyton obviously played for the Colts. That was the year of the famous Leaf or Manning debate as to who should go #1. You must be thinking of Eli. I think the Chargers had the #1 pick that year but Archie made some maneuvers to get Eli to play for the Giants instead.
