Part 3: The Trade March 9 - Engelwood, Colorado “Well, I think I just landed my Manning!” George Paton seemed extremely proud of himself. He'd scanned the draft projections, and they had shown there wasn’t a projected right-now starter among the bunch, so he knew he had to do something. It didn’t help that
