Eli Manning to what he wanted on Saturday — he was the first player taken in the NFL draft, by the San Diego Chargers, but he's going to start his career with the N.Y. Giants, not in San Diego. Doctor S says God bless the former Ole Miss quarterback for manipulating the draft to his benefit. It was nice to see a player get over on the NFL for once. That's a rare thing ... Now Eli has a chance to follow in the footsteps of another former Ole Miss QB, Charlie Conerly, who played for the Giants back in their glory days. Not so coincidentally, Conerly was Archie Manning's favorite player when he was a kid ... More Mississippi players, including Southern Miss star Rod Davis, figure to be selected on Sunday.
