Manning, Schlichter represent extremes in Colts’ drafts

BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: QB Peyton Manning. After selecting him with the top overall pick in 1998, the franchise made a dramatic turnaround. Manning led the Colts to their most successful decade since the 1960s and their first Super Bowl title since 1971. Not enough? Manning played a key role in convincing legislators to build Lucas Oil Stadium and even had an Indianapolis children’s hospital named after him. Plus, there’s that record-breaking career.
