1989 Dallas Cowboys
This is actually the draft before the infamous Herschel Walker trade. The most famous player from this draft is No. 1 overall selection Troy Aikman. But six of the first seven players chosen by Dallas had careers of at least eight seasons – and the longest, oddly enough, came for another team. The first pick of the second round, Steve Wisniewski from Penn State, was immediately dealt to the Raiders, where he spent 13 years as a starting guard and made five Pro Bowls. The Cowboys used another second-round pick on FB Daryl Johnston from Syracuse; he spent 11 years with the Cowboys and made two Pro Bowls. The first selection of round three was C Mark Stepnoski, who was a starter for 12 years with the Cowboys and Oilers/Titans and made five Pro Bowls. DE Tony Tolbert, who was a seven-year starter in Dallas and made one Pro Bowl, came in round four.
This is an article from ESPN of the top ten drafts. Now that is what I call a draft.
