Chargers, Giants discuss trade for top pick

Collins could be part of the bait as one of the players/picks involved.

I find that doubtful. The Chargers aren\'t looking for another average (or a bit above) QB. They already have a young guy in Drew Brees. Is he the guy they want, doubtful, but he can cover for now. Then they have a great veteran/teacher, with Doug Flutie, who they just signed for another 3 years. Flutie will be able to mentor whichever young stud QB that they pick up this year, while Brees does his best not to loose too many games until the newbe is ready to get his feet wet.
I\'m not saying I don\'t think that the Chargers will trade down, I just don\'t think that they will look to trade down for Collins or someother QB as bait. But I still think that it is safer for the Chargers to keep #1 and pick up Eli, than to trade him away.
