Let me get Peyton Manning. Even being old and decrepit, his team is still a league favorite because he's the QB. I'd take a decade and a half of that.
LFG

Where would you put him? Our defense is pretty good without Watt, I don't really want to imagine what our offense would look like if we didn't have Green.

I'll side with the Marino group over Manning, given the scenario. Who knows what it would have taken to land Manning, given the way they drafted maybe it doesn't matter. Seriously though, passing on Rimington for Marino is the easy move. That would also allow you to take Sean Jones and his 113 sacks the following year where you would have taken Esiason. I can't recall Marino ever having a serious running game or talented defense. I really think he would have won multiple Super Bowls with the teams Cincy put together through the mid 80s. There is always the chance that he would have helped create an environment that people wanted to play in. Maybe Mikey would have still messed up the draft, but maybe some solid vets take his low offers to win a ring with Marino.

In the Second I draft Cobb, in the third I draft Sherman, draft Luck with the first overall pick in 2012 , and then with the 33rd pick in 2012 I draft Alshon Jeffery. I start Jordan Palmer in 2011 and we don't win a game that whole season but it was worth it because we got Andrew luck for the next 15 seasons.

This is an interesting one, but I doubt the Bengal's Brass would have put up with his re-negotiate his contract each year antics. You have to hand it to the guy, though...he was always worth it. Except for Tampa.
