Best draft picks by Round - Round 1

[Rain Man]

I'll switch this up a little. Before posting my top 10 list, I'll start from the bottom, revealing in reverse order all 56 of the Chiefs' 1st round picks over the years. Then I'll put the top ten in this OP and put up the poll.

Feel free to share your memories, happiness, or disgust at each pick. I'll post one whenever I'm slightly bored.

#1 Buck Buchanan, DT
#2 Tony Gonzalez, TE
#3 Derrick Thomas, ROLB
#4 Ed Budde, LG
#5 Eric Berry, SS
#6 Gary Green, CB
#7 Derrick Johnson, ILB, OLB
#8 Art Still, DE
#9 E.J. Holub, OLB/C
#10 Tamba Hali, OLB/DE

That's one hell of a top 3

Todd came in at a strong 41 ranking out of the 56 picks. My hope is that he continues moving down over time.

Since this thread may be getting less views now, I've put the poll up in a new thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=309641.

Let me know what you think about the rankings, and where you think I was off base.

I don't see how Derrick Thomas isn't ranked over Tony G. He never played for another team and he has the record for sacking John Elway the most. Tony Gonzalez never sacked a Denver or Raider quarterback. That 6 sack game came against the Raiders and he should have had 8 and possibly 10 that day if Marty didn't call off the dogs, he didn't even play in the fourth quarter.
