Three of the players on this list are members of the Hall of Fame
One of the main intentions of the NFL Draft, is to give the underdog teams the opportunity to choose the best college player and the champion team, one not so good… so that everything is even.
Buuuuut, the rule is not always fulfilled. idea central of the Draft because those who end up being chosen first end up being a real fiasco and They continue to leave teams sunk in mediocrity.
Ojo, some of the first draft picks are true NFL legendsbut they are really few and most ended up crashing between what I expected from them and what they actually delivered.

Tom Brady, el GOAT
We started strong and you can’t not mention first the best player in the history of the NFL. He was one of the last picks in the 2000 Draft, that is, they chose 198 before him; We put him on this list because technically he was chosen in the sixth round, but he is the GOAT.
Despite his high selection in the Draft, he earned a spot due to Bledsoe’s injury and would not return to the bench, quite the opposite. He led the Patriots to win six Super Bowls and became the goat.

Bo Jackson, of runners and legends
In 1987, he was chosen with the 187th overall pick and they surely expected him to win, but not to the magnitude that he did with the Oakland Raiders.
Those Raiders were the best in the NFL and Bo Jackson became almost the icing on the cakebecause not only was he a legendary runner, he was also a Hall of Famer… even though he was chosen in the third round of the Draft.

Shannon Sharpe
His career is over, but we are talking about a legendary player who played as a tight end. The Broncos selected him with the 192nd pick in 1990. and surely many teams were upset by not drafting him earlier.
In the top 5 in NFL history in receiving yards, touchdown passes and receptions. The first tight end to reach 10,000 and a three-time Super Bowl champion; a legendary career for a third-round draft pick.

Brock Purdy, el Mr. Irrelevant del Draft de NFL
The only one on this list who was chosen not only in the seventh round, but was the last overall pick of the entire NFL Draft, That last player chosen is known as “Mr. “Irrelevant”.
Buuut, Brock Purdy went from carrying that nickname to debuting by beating Tom Brady and in just two years, We can now count more playoff wins than the Cowboys and more Super Bowl appearances than half the teams in the league..

Julian Edelman
He may not be the most spectacular receiver or anything like that, but he was accomplished like few others and it is so important that Without one of his catches, Tom Brady would have lost one of the seven rings he has.
Selected with the 232nd pick in 2007, Julian Edelman knew how to be patient that his time will come and he was obviously fortunate to have someone like Brady as a quarterback, which made his status as a great player easier.

Isiah Pacheco
We have to talk about this corridor, which although He has been in the NFL for two years, we can also add two Super Bowl titles to him…that’s how impressive his story is.
He was chosen as the Chiefs’ 251st pick in 2022 and although Kansas had a running back, Isiah Pacheco He earned his place game by game until he was the starter of a legendary team.
