Many experts consider the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers to have had the best draft class in NFL history as they selected four players later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, and Mike Webster). A fifth player, Donnie Shell, was signed by Pittsburgh after going unselected in the 1974 NFL Draft; he too was later enshrined in the Hall of Fame.[4] 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.[5] The Green Bay Packers' also selected three Hall of Famers in 1958 draft (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.[6] 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 five. 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.[7]

With the 428th selection, in the 17th round, the Green Bay Packers selected Randy Woodfield, who would become a convicted serial killer known as the 'I-5 killer[8]'.

Jack LambertWR John StallworthC Mike WebsterS Donnie Shell 19731975 Many experts consider the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers to have had the best draft class in NFL history as they selected four players later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Lynn Swann Jack Lambert John Stallworth and Mike Webster A fifth player Donnie Shell was signed by Pittsburgh after going unselected in the 1974 NFL Draft he too was later enshrined in the Hall of Fame 4 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 5 The Green Bay Packers also selected three Hall of Famers in 1958 draft 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 6 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 five 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 7 With the 428th selection in the 17th round the Green Bay Packers selected Randy Woodfield who would become a convicted serial killer known as the I 5 killer 8 Contents 1 Player selections 1 1 Round one 1 2
