The ridiculously filthy 1st round of the 1983 draft

[Risen Star]

This really is incredible.

 

[zrinkill]

Do not see a bad player in that list

 

[gtb1943]

Dickerson Elway and Matthews are quite often in the conversation of best of all times at their positions as well

 

[Robbieac]

Rambo: “That’s nothing. That’s how every Jerry & Will Mcclay draft looks in my eyes.”

The year that got me hooked into making mock drafts.

That year had everything. The USFL had grabbed some of this class also. WR Anthony Carter, RB Kelvin Bryant, QB Bobby Herbert,etc.

I watched Eric Dickersons entire college career at SMU sharing the backfield with another RB named Craig James.

It has been called the greatest draft class in NFL history.
