The last 35 number one overall NFL draft picks

The last 35 number one overall NFL draft picks (May 2016)

The draft is not an exact science. Every year, the experts proclaim someone the chosen one. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are very wrong. As far as scouting has come, there are some things that are not measurable. They seem to get it wrong as much as they get it right. This list shows that although most of these have been pretty good players, there are not too many sure fire hall of famers on the list.
