A fifth Hall of Famer, Donnie Shell, was signed by Pittsburgh after going unselected in the draft.https://www.nfl.com/news/pro-football-hall-of-fame-centennial-class-thick-with-nfl-histo-0ap3000001096808 Pro Football Hall of Fame Centennial Class thick with NFL history Judy Battista NFL.com January 15, 2020 January 15, 2020 The closest any other team has come to this success in a draft is the Dallas Cowboys' 1964 draft, when three Hall of Famers were taken (Roger Staubach, Mel Renfro, and Bob Hayes.Archer Todd Three Hall of Famers make 1964 Cowboys' best draft class https://www.espn.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4750530/three-hall-of-famers-make-1964-cowboys-best-draft-class ESPN 25 April 2016 27 January 2022 The Green Bay Packers also selected three Hall of Famers in 1958 (Jim Taylor, Ray Nitschke, and Jerry Kramer). The Houston Oilers had the first pick in the 1974 draft based on their one-win record in 1973, but they traded the first overall pick—as well as the first pick of the third round, #53 overall—to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for defensive end Tody Smith and wide receiver Billy Parks.http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/news.cfm?id=F979DBDA-E6DC-62DE-0692F849C18A9EA9 https://web.archive.org/web/20090720064304/http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/news.cfm?id=F979DBDA-E6DC-62DE-0692F849C18A9EA9 Dallas Cowboys.com: Cowboys Top 50 List: No. 26 Ed Too Tall Jones July 20, 2009 Dallas used the two picks to select two future Pro Bowlers, defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones and quarterback Danny White. This was the first NFL draft since 1938 to not have any quarterbacks taken in the first round, and one of only six. Along with 1988, it is the only draft where no quarterback was taken in the first two rounds, and 1974 is generally regarded as one of the worst quarterback draft classes of all time, with only Danny White (the first quarterback taken, with the first pick in the third round) and fourth round pick Mike Boryla reaching the Pro Bowl, and even Boryla was out of the NFL by 1978.http://www.eldo.co/5/post/2018/04/nfl-draft-history-quarterback-draft-class-facts-and-figures.html NFL Draft History: Quarterback Draft Class Facts/Figures ELDORADO In the seventeenth round, the Green Bay Packers selected wide receiver Randy Woodfield of Portland State (428th overall).
