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

1974 Draft Class. 25. player. 55. <p>The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of worthy candidates from Mean Joe Greene to Franco Harris to Mel Blount to Ben Roethlisberger but what they did in the 1974 draft is something that will never be done again. Four of the first five picks for the team that Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth and Mike Webster who all made the Hall of Fame. Good luck finding one Hall of Famer in one year, let alone an inconceivable four.</p> <p>By this time the Steelers had most of the pieces needed to contend for a Super Bowl with Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Harris, Blount and Terry Bradshaw, among others, but this class put them over the top to win the Super Bowl that year and three of the next five years.</p> <p>It’s tough to single out a single player from that class so I’ll bend the rules and pick the entire class to represent the best of the Steelers draft picks. Sure, Greene is the best player in franchise history, Roethlisberger won two Super Bowls and Blount revolutionized the cornerback position, but without the 1974 class they may not win one Super Bowl, let alone four.</p>.
