The top 5 overall No. 2 NFL draft picks (with player picked before them)
1. Lawrence Taylor, 1981, New York Giants (George Rogers): One of the greatest linebackers to everhttp://blogs.usatoday.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/20/bloglt.jpg play the game, Taylor changed the way the position was played. Fast and hard hitting the Giants allowed Taylor to create havoc all over the field. Strong enough to bring down ball carriers and fast enough to cover wide receivers. A 10-time Pro Bowler.

2. Randy White, 1975, Dallas Cowboys (Steve Bartkowski): A Hall of Fame defensive tackle who was central to everything to what the Cowboys did during a long championship run that included three Super Bowls. White was a 9-time Pro Bowler who missed one game in 14 years.
3. Tony Dorsett, 1977, Dallas Cowboys (Ricky Bell): Just his 99-yard touchdown run against Minnesota makes him memorable. But he was one of the most prolific and electrifying runners in the NFL. Played in two Super Bowls, rushed for 12,739 yards, had 398 receptions and scored 91 touchdowns.
4. Marshall Faulk, 1994, Indianapolis Colts (Dan Wilkinson): Great combination back who rushed for 12,279 yards and 100 touchdowns and had 767 catches for another 36 touchdowns. At one time the premier running back in the game.
5. Tom Mack, 1966, Los Angeles Rams (Tommy Nobis): Drafted at left guard and became a standard fixture going to the Pro Bowl 11 times and never missing a game in his career (1966-78). Elected to the Hall of Fame.
