Hall of Fame #1 Draft Picks 1970-
1970 - Terry Bradshaw - 4 Super Bowls
1976 - Lee Roy Selmon
1978 - Earl Campbell
1983 - John Elway
1985 - Bruce Smith - 11 Pro Bowls
1989 - Troy Aikman - 3 Super Bowls
1997 - Orlando Pace
1998 - Peyton Manning - 5 MVP - 14 Pro Bowls - 2 Super Bowls

MG has a good shot at the Hall of Fame, but only 5 Pro Bowls so far.. so I'd put Bruce Smith above him..

Peyton is #1 and it isn't really all that close imo.

Why would any production outside of the rookie contract have anything to do with the draft?

Bruce Smith was a great pick looking back. Dude was a beast forever it seemed when I was a kid

I'm pretty confident that Elway had some Super Bowls and stuff too.
