Draft-long Records that 2019 could make a run at:

54 – Record for the most defensive linemen taken in a seven-round draft (2010)

There is a real shot at this one, and we may be surprised if it doesn’t go down. Fifty-two of the top 254 prospects this year are defensive linemen. There are another 10 or so in the 255-300 range, who could easily go in the sixth or seventh round. There is a ton of depth here.

10 – The record for the most number of Hall of Famers in a single draft (1964)

Who knows? But this is a fun one to think about. If there are 11 this year, who are they?

14 – Most number of players taken from a single college in a seven-round draft (2004, Ohio State)

Alabama has an outside shot to get here this year.
