The best NFL draft ever
In 1974, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected wide receiver Lynn Swann with the 21st pick in the first round of the NFL draft.
In the second round they opted for linebacker Jack Lambert, and chose another wide receiver, John Stallworth, in the fourth (they had traded their third round pick before the draft).
When center Mike Webster became a Steeler in round five, head coach Chuck Noll was provided a quartet that would perform in 24 Pro Bowls and four Pittsburgh championship seasons.
The rich got richer when an un-drafted defensive back Donnie Shell showed up at Noll's training camp that summer.
