Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Don't get me wrong, I think that RGIII is dynamite and I would love to get him. But I think these factors may make him fall to #6:

1) Footwork/mechanics concerns
2) Durability concerns moving to the next level
3) There are real studs at other positions and teams may prefer to have the best player at position X rather than the second best QB
4) The trade-up price for QB hungry teams below us will be very steep, perhaps too steep to leapfrog us

Really hard to argue with these. It seems highly improbable at this exact moment but RGIII could fall to six. Stranger things have happened on many drafts.
