Why didnt someone trade a top 5 pick for Peyton Manning?

I mean a draft pick is a gamble. So why not trade a pick for a proven veteran like Manning or Brady?

Peyton wasn't going to a team picking in the top 5.

Why would the broncos or pats give up their qbs for a top 5 pic in a weak draft?

Because they weren't contending for a championship. When you're picking in the top 5, that usually means you.....suck. :upsetfavre:

for how long? a top 5 pick can be franchise changing bruh.

And Peyton was only going to a team of his choosing too.
