Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

Art Shell. 23. player. 28. <p>The Raiders have drafted their fair share of great players with the likes of Jim Otto, Fred Biletnikoff, Gene Upshaw and Howie Long all in the Hall of Fame and turned a seventh round pick into 38 games of Bo Jackson, but I think their best pick was Hall of Fame offensive tackle Art Shell.</p> <p>Shell was the No. 80 selection in 1968 out of Maryland-Eastern Shore and the 14th tackle picked that year and blossomed into an eight-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro and is enshrined in the Hall of Fame.</p> <p>Upshaw and Otto may have been better players at left guard and center, respectively, but the value in taking Shell out of a small school like Maryland-Eastern Shore in the third round gives him the edge.</p> <p>We may never see an offensive line with three future Hall of Famers playing alongside each other like we did in the early 70s with Shell, Upshaw and Otto.</p>.
