      In 1974 the Steelers selected:

      1. Lynn Swann - Hall of Fame -Iconic Player

      2. Jack Lambert -Hall of Fame - Iconic Player

      3. John Stallworth - Hall of Fame

      4. Mike Webster - Hall of Fame - Iconic - Greatest Center of All Time? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1090410-the-10-best-centers-in-nfl-history

      5. UDFA Donnie Shell - Hall of Fame

      They also drafted Jimmy Allen (who couldn’t crack the Steelers starting lineup but was traded to Detroit where he was a highly effective starting Safety with 24 interceptions over 4 seasons) and Charlie Davis (another quality defensive lineman that couldn’t crack Pittsburgh’s rotation, but was a starter for St. Louis for 5 years…)

      Name a better draft class…

        Oh, they also signed UDFA Tight End Randy Grossman, who was an integral part of all 4 Super Bowl wins…

          Jack Lambert might be the best linebacker I ever watched

          Luke Kuechly and Tedy Bruschi are in the conversation

          LT played for the Giants, that is a DQ

          And for Ray Lewis murder is a DQ
