Big Ben the Giant?


No this is not another Trade [Insert unpopular Steeler Pro Bowler name here] story.


In his leadoff to his MMQB, Peter King reports that, in the lead up to the 2004 draft, Ernie Accorsi stuck to his guns and refused to include Osi Umenyiora in the Manning for Philip Rivers trade, and that would have meant he'd have drafted Roethlisberger instead of Eli Manning if the two teams could not have found common ground, as they did.


The story does not speculate as to whom the Steelers would have picked in that scenario.

Who do you think our FO would have picked then?
