Best NFL Picks By Draft Slots

The NFL Draft is Thursday night. Here's Peter King's latest mock draft and a great feature on JaMarcus Russell wanting another chance in the NFL. Whether he gets one remains to be seen but one thing is certain: He did not make this gallery of Best NFL Picks by Draft Slots.

Best NFL First-Round Picks by Draft Slot

No. 1: Peyton Manning, 1998, Colts

Like John Elway in Denver, Manning will first and foremost be remembered as an Indianapolis Colt. His move to Denver, though, produced one of his finest statistical seasons—no small feet for a player who made his 14th Pro Bowl and has 10 All-Pro nods, five NFL MVPs, plus two Super Bowl wins and one big game MVP. No player taken No. 1 overall since 1970 has been better than Manning. — Runner-ups: John Elway (1983, Colts) and Bruce Smith (1985, Bills) — Honorable Mention: Mario Williams (2006, Texans); Eli Manning (2004, Chargers); Orlando Pace (1997, Rams); Troy Aikman (1989, Cowboys); Bo Jackson (1986, Buccaneers); Earl Campbell (1978, Oilers); Lee Roy Selmon (1976, Buccaneers); Terry Bradshaw (1970, Steelers)

No. 2: Lawrence Taylor, 1981, Giants

Taylor may have been the most intimidating defensive player the league has ever seen, especially since he often fired off the ball toward the quarterback's blindside. His Credentials: 10-time Pro Bowl selection, 10-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1980s, member of NFL's 75th anniversary team, two-time Super Bowl champion, NFL MVP in 1986, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year in 1981, inducted into Hall of Fame in 1999, ranked No. 3 on NFL's top 100 players of all-time list, ninth all-time in sacks. Others in Consideration: Calvin Johnson (2007, Lions); Julius Peppers (2002, Panthers); Donovan McNabb (Eagles, 1999); Tony Boselli (1995, Jaguars); Marshall Faulk (1994, Colts); Eric Dickerson (1983, Rams); Tony Dorsett (1977, Cowboys); Randy White (1975, Cowboys)

No. 3: Anthony Munoz, 1982, Bengals

Sporting News/ZUMA Press/Icon Sportswire

Munoz left his mark as the game's best left tackle and, in the minds of many, the most dominant offensive lineman in NFL history. His Credentials: 11-time Pro Bowl selection, 11-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1980s, Walter Payton Man of the Year winner in 1991, member of NFL's 75th anniversary team, inducted into Hall of Fame in 1998, ranked No. 12 on NFL's top 100 players of all-time list, started 183 career games. Others in Consideration: Larry Fitzgerald (2004, Cardinals); Andre Johnson (2003, Texans); Steve McNair (1995, Oilers); Cortez Kennedy (1990, Seahawks); Barry Sanders (1989, Lions)

No. 4: Walter Payton, 1975, Bears

There may not have been a more versatile athlete in league history. "Sweetness" rushed for 16,726 yards (second most all-time), caught 492 passes, threw for eight touchdowns and often punished defenders with his blocking. His Credentials: Nine-time Pro Bowl selection, nine-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1970s and '80s, Super Bowl XX champion, 1977 NFL MVP, member of NFL's 75th anniversary team, inducted into Hall of Fame in 1993, ranked No. 5 on NFL's top 100 players of all-time list, second in career rushing yards, fourth in career rushing touchdowns. Others in Consideration: Philip Rivers (2004, Giants); Edgerrin James (1999, Colts); Charles Woodson (1998, Raiders); Jonathan Ogden (1996, Ravens); Derrick Thomas (1989, Chiefs); Chris Doleman (1985, Vikings); Dan Hampton (1979, Bears); John Hannah (1973, Patriots)

No. 5: Deion Sanders, 1989, Falcons

Others in Consideration: LaDainian Tomlinson (2001, Chargers); Junior Seau (1990, Chargers); Mike Haynes (1976, Patriots)

No. 6: Walter Jones, 1996, Seahawks

Jones helped pave the way for eight separate 1,000-yard rushing seasons (five by Shaun Alexander alone) and was part of a terrific turnaround for a once-struggling franchise, as the Seahawks made five straight postseasons from 2003-07, advancing to the Super Bowl once. His Credentials: Nine-time Pro Bowl selection, seven-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s, started 180 games, number 71 retired by Seattle Seahawks.

No. 7: Champ Bailey, 1999, Redskins

The dominant cornerback performed at a high level throughout his 15-year career, most notably with 10 interceptions in 2006. Bailey has the best shot to break the No. 7 pick's Hall of Fame drought. His Credentials: 12-time Pro Bowl selection, seven-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s, 52 career interceptions, member of Broncos' 50th anniversary team. Others in Consideration: Adrian Peterson (2007, Vikings); Thomas Jones (2000, Cardinals); Bryant Young (1994, 49ers); Sterling Sharpe (1988, Packers); Phil Simms (1979, Giants)

No. 8: Ronnie Lott, 1981, 49ers

Lott's ball-hawking skills combined with his punishing style made him one of the greatest defensive backs in NFL history. His Credentials: 10-time Pro Bowl selection, eight-time All-Pro, four-time Super Bowl champion, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1980s and 1990s, member of NFL's 75th anniversary team, tied for sixth all-time in career interceptions (63), ranked No. 11 on NFL's list of 100 greatest players, inducted into Hall of Fame in 2000. Others in Consideration: James Farrior (1997, Jets); Willie Roaf (1993, Saints); Leslie O'Neal (1986, Chargers); Mike Munchak (1982, Oilers); Ottis Anderson (1979, Rams)

No. 10: Rod Woodson, 1987, Steelers

Woodson was a ballhawk and premier athlete. When he was healthy and on the field, Woodson was better than just about every defensive back to play the game. His Credentials: 11-time Pro Bowl selection, eight-time All-Pro, Super Bowl XXXV champion, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1990s, named to NFL's 75th anniversary team, 1993 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, third all-time in interceptions (71), ranked No. 41 on NFL's list of 100 greatest players, inducted into Hall of Fame in 2009.

No. 11: Michael Irvin, 1988, Cowboys

Irvin was part of the famed "Triplets," with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, that helped make the Cowboys a dynasty in the 1990s. His Credentials: Five-time Pro Bowl selection, three-time All-Pro, three-time Super Bowl champion, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1990s, finished with 750 career receptions and 65 touchdowns, ranked No. 92 on NFL.com's 100 Greatest Players list, inducted into Hall of Fame in 2007.

No. 12: Warren Sapp, 1995, Buccaneers

His Credentials: Seven-time Pro Bowl selection, six-time All-Pro, Super Bowl XXXVII champion, 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1990s and 2000s, finished with 96.5 career sacks.

Over an illustrious 17-year career (12 seasons with Kansas City, five with Atlanta), Gonzalez chalked up 1,325 receptions and more than 15,000 yards. He also found the end zone 111 times. The lone missing piece on his resume: a Super Bowl win. His Credentials: 14-time Pro Bowl selection, 10-time All-Pro, No. 2 all-time in total catches, fifth-most yards receiving in league history, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s.

No. 14: Jim Kelly, 1983, Bills

Others in Consideration: Darrelle Revis (2007, Jets); Jeremy Shockey (2002, Giants); Eddie George (1996, Oilers); Ruben Brown (1995, Bills); Randy Gradishar (1974, Broncos)

No. 29: Nick Mangold, 2006, Jets

Mangold has, quite simply, been one of the league's best centers — not to mention one of the league's best linemen, overall — since the Jets selected him in Round 1 of the 2006 draft.
