The MMQB All-Time NFL Draft: Final Takeaways

A reader asked which single-season team http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-byron-jones-jersey-c-2_5.html had the most players in The MMQB All-Time NFL Draft. The winner: the 1971 Cowboys team that won Super Bowl VI, with 11. The players (in draft order):
1971 Cowboys drafted
Roger Staubach, QB
Bob Lilly, DT
Forrest Gregg, T
Lance Alworth, WR
Mike Ditka, TE
Herb Adderley, CB
Mel Renfro, S
Rayfield Wright, T
Bob Hayes, WR
Cliff Harris, S
Chuck Howley, LB
It should be noted that Forrest Gregg, who signed with the Cowboys after 14 years in Green Bay, played in only six games that ’71 season and did not play in the Super Bowl. He retired after that year, leaving the ’72 Cowboys with 10 of our All-Time Draft players—though Herb Adderley, Lance Alworth and Mike Ditka all played diminished roles in ’72 and retired after the season.
While the Packers teams of 1961 and 1963 also had 10 players in our draft, the more impressive 10-player team was also a bit of a http://www.authenticraiderssale.com/shop-by-players-ronnie-lott-jersey-c-2_32.html surprise: The 1968-71 Chiefs had 10 players in our draft who played together for four full seasons. It was enlightening to see the respect our 12 GMs had for the powerhouse Kansas City squads of the late ’60s/early ’70s, and for the AFL in general. The Canton seniors committee might want to have another look at Otis Taylor, Ed Budde and Johnny Robinson.
