Surprised no one mentioned Bruce Taylor.
Did all the old farts die in here?
Impressive
-Edit-
I thought Eric Davis was a first round pick (shows what I know) and I forgot about Ahmed Plummer.
Plummer was afirst rounder but he was their 2nd pick at #24. Julian Peterson went at #16.
Lott was drafted as a corner but later switched to safety. In 1981 it was Lott and Wright who was drafted in the 2nd round at corner with Williamson and Hicks at safety. Imagine getting 2 corners like Lott and Wright in one draft. Then then added Willliamson who hit like a train.
The best 1st round corner that stayed at that position was Jimmie Johnson in 1961. He was so good in his day that teams didn't even throw in his direction.
