In this new series, we will be looking at the history of the NFL Draft, specifically the history of number one overall picks in the Draft. The NFL Draft dates back to the year 1936, when Jay Berwanger was taken first overall, to 2011, where Cam Newton was the first selection. Over time, many of these number one picks have bombed or failed miserably in the pros, but a selected few have been outstanding and honored for their play on the gridiron. Such picks and many more will be looked at as we go through the years and see what kind of play every number one pick in the NFL Draft has fielded in the pros.
*A quick side note: Just in case some of you may be wondering, we have not forgotten about our "The Greatest Teams" or "The Franchise" series. The point of these posts were to release them over a spread amount of time, so please be patient if there is a particular player or franchise you would like to read about. We can guarantee you that we will get to them all eventually, but we would like to put them on hold for a bit. This new series, on the other hand, should be fairly short and straightforward (we hope).
