I'm torn about Dave Hill or Jerrell Wilson being the #1 spot. Jerrell was more dominating at his position and played longer, but ... punter. I also wish I could vote for Todd McNair, who was a delight to watch. He loved the game and was very good at it.

Good old Irv Eatman.

I didn't know that the Chiefs originally drafted him. I wonder if it was a coincidence that they got him, or if the NFL assigned USFL guys to the NFL team that drafted them. If so, that was a rare savvy move by the 1980s Chiefs.
On a side note, Eatman was playing during the first Chiefs game I ever attended. My gosh, that guy was a behemoth. I had seats down low near the Chiefs sidelines, and he dwarfed every other player standing around.

I see a comparison of apples and oranges. Prior to the merger. The Nfl drafted a lot of these guys high and then the AFL would throw a feeler at them to see if they were interested in a contract. The only modern day round 8 that I noticed was Todd McNair and he wasn't all that great.

The sad thing about Irv is that he had the "potential" to be an All Pro but he was too lazy. |

Todd McNair won so many Marty Ball games with his ability to convert on third down at the end of the game. He had a knack for getting it done.

I picked Mike Garrett. I was tempted by Jerrell Wilson because Garrett didn't spend that much time as a Chief.

Yeah, I think that's probably true of most of the people here. I'm barely aware of any of the guys drafted in the 60s with the exceptions of Mike Garrett and Jerrell Wilson. I recognize McClinton's name, but don't really remember him at all. I was born in 1963.

Yeah, the 8th round+ guys are by definition older players since the draft hasn't had 8 rounds in 20+ years. But even then, they skew much older because the early drafts had 20+ rounds, so you had many more chances to find guys. I'm the same age as patteeu and have the same vague awareness of most of these guys. We'll get more modern guys once we get to the seventh round.
