Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants
The Eli Manning-Philip Rivers trade is one of the rare draft blockbusters where both teams can defend the outcome. The Giants landed the quarterback who helped deliver two Super Bowls. The Chargers received Philip Rivers, Nate Kaeding, Shawne Merriman, and more value. New York gets the edge because championships settle close arguments. The Chargers built a strong return, but the Giants got the quarterback tied to the rings.
