You know when you're watching the draft and you're thinking, I wonder who the best player ever taken in this spot is? No? OK, maybe that's just me.
But in case -- and because it was fun in a sports-nerdy way -- I decided to list the best player taken in each of the 256 draft spots since the 1970 merger.
Here's the list:
1. QB Peyton Manning (Colts, 1998): The five-time MVP edges out Hall of Famers Bruce Smith, Earl Campbell and John Elway.
2. LB Lawrence Taylor (Giants, 1981): Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk and Randy White fall short. LT was a first-team All-Pro an insane eight times.
3. RB Barry Sanders (Lions, 1989): In a close contest, the greatest pure runner I've ever seen beats out nine-time first-team All-Pro Anthony Muñoz.
4. RB Walter Payton (Bears, 1975): This was a closer call than you'd think. Guard John Hannah was a seven-time All-Pro. Still, can't deny a man who was a member of two All-Decade teams.
5. CB Deion Sanders (Falcons, 1989): Sanders had 53 interceptions, nine return touchdowns and was part of two Super Bowl teams. That might be the only thing separating him from Junior Seau, who was also a defensive player of the year and went to four more Pro Bowls.
6. OT Walter Jones (Seahawks, 1997): The four-time All-Pro is in a league separate from runners-up Richard Seymour, James Lofton, Tim Brown and John Riggins.
7. RB Adrian Peterson (Vikings, 2007): With all due respect to Champ Bailey, Peterson's been an All-Pro just as often in half the time. He's one of the best runners in NFL history.
8. DB Ronnie Lott (49ers, 1981): Also a member of two All-Decade teams, Lott was an eight-time first-team All-Pro and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Willie Roaf doesn't stand a chance.
9. G Bruce Matthews (Oilers, 1983): He's the only Hall of Famer of the batch and a 14-time Pro Bowler. Runners-up Kevin Williams and Brian Urlacher don't come close.
10. DB Rod Woodson (Steelers, 1987): He was a six-time first-team All-Pro, which is what separates him from very close runner-up Marcus Allen (who was an All-Pro just twice).
11. DE J.J. Watt (Texans, 2011): Too early? I believe he's already been more dominant than Michael Irvin ever was, and the 26-year-old two-time defensive player of the year is on pace to crush what Ben Roethlisberger, Patrick Willis, DeMarcus Ware and Dwight Freeney have accomplished.
12. DT Warren Sapp (Buccaneers, 1995): Sapp is the only Hall of Famer ever drafted 12th overall. Jim Lachey, Ryan Clady and Haloti Ngata are the only other players with multiple All-Pro nods from this spot.
13. TE Tony Gonzalez (Chiefs, 1997): Good spot for tight ends, because the clear runner-up is five-time Pro Bowler and Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow.
14. QB Jim Kelly (Bills, 1986): Kelly's a first-ballot Hall of Famer who went to four Super Bowls, so he's holding off active greats Darrelle Revis and Earl Thomas.
15. DT Albert Haynesworth (Titans, 2002): This doesn't feel right, but he's the only guy with multiple All-Pro nods from the No. 15 spot. But Jason Pierre-Paul has a chance to change that soon.
16. WR Jerry Rice (49ers, 1985): The most prolific receiver of all time dominates Troy Polamalu in every category by which we measure stars.
17. RB Emmitt Smith (Cowboys, 1990): The most prolific rusher in NFL history has a clear edge over guard Steve Hutchinson, despite the fact Hutchinson was a five-time All-Pro (Smith received that honor four times).
18. WR Art Monk (Redskins, 1980): He ranks in the top 20 all-time in terms of receptions and yards, but Maurkice Pouncey already has more All-Pro nods so he's making a push.
19. G Randall McDaniel (Vikings, 1988): The 12-time Pro Bowler edges out Marvin Harrison (eight Pro Bowl nods) and Shaun Alexander (an MVP in 2005).
20. DE Jack Youngblood (Rams, 1971): Youngblood was an All-Pro five times, which is as many as Steve Atwater, Mike Quick and Haywood Jeffires combined.
21. WR Randy Moss (Vikings, 1998): Sorry, Lynn Swann, but Moss ranks second all-time in receiving touchdowns and third in receiving yardage.
22. WR Andre Rison (Colts, 1989): The five-time Pro Bowler beats out Harris Barton and Hanford Dixon, both of whom were All-Pros twice.
23. P Ray Guy (Raiders, 1973): Ozzie Newsome and Ty Law deserve some love, but Guy was a seven-time Pro Bowler and is now in Canton.
24. QB Aaron Rodgers (Packers, 2005): The highest-rated passer in NFL history (by a huge margin) is now a two-time MVP. Ed Reed had a hell of a career, but he doesn't come close.
25. LB Jon Beason (Panthers, 2007): The three-time Pro Bowler is the only first-team All-Pro ever drafted 25th overall.
26. LB Ray Lewis (Ravens, 1996): Alan Faneca was a six-time All-Pro, but Lewis was one of the most dominant defensive players of his era.
27. QB Dan Marino (Dolphins, 1983): The first-ballot Hall of Famer has a massive edge over Larry Johnson and Roddy White.
28. LB Derrick Brooks (Buccaneers, 1995): The major difference between Brooks and runner-up Darrell Green is that Brooks has a 5-to-1 edge when it comes to first-team All-Pro nods.
29. G Steve Wisniewski (Cowboys, 1989): Nick Mangold (who, like, Wisniewski, has two All-Pro nods, but is two behind when it comes to Pro Bowls) has a chance to leapfrog Wisniewski in the coming years.
30. WR Reggie Wayne (Colts, 2001): He and former defensive back Eric Allen both have six Pro Bowl nods and one All-Pro nod, but Wayne still has time to add to his résumé.
31. S Nolan Cromwell (Rams, 1977): His three All-Pro nods give him an edge over Nnamdi Asomugha and Al Wilson, who had similar careers but weren't effective as long.
32. QB Drew Brees (Chargers, 2001): He has the highest completion percentage in NFL history while ranking fourth in yardage and fifth in passing touchdowns. Henry Ellard and Logan Mankins don't hold candles.
33. QB Brett Favre (Falcons, 1991): Fred Dean is the only other No. 33 overall pick with multiple All-Pro nods but he was a Pro Bowler seven fewer times than Favre.
34. LB Jack Ham (Steelers, 1971): No contest for the six-time first-team All-Pro. Kicker Chester Marcol is the only other No. 34 pick with multiple All-Pro nods.
35. FB Mike Alstott (Buccaneers, 1996): The three-time All-Pro is unchallenged by four-time Pro Bowler Alge Crumpler.
36. RB Tiki Barber (Giants, 1997): Kevin Mawae, Chad Johnson and Lawyer Milloy received more career honors, but for a while there Barber was one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in football.
37. S Darren Woodson (Cowboys, 1992): He was a perennial All-Pro as part of a dynasty Cowboys franchise. That's enough to edge out Randall Cunningham, who was an All-Pro just once.
38. LB Mike Singletary (Bears, 1981): The seven-time first-team All-Pro and first-ballot Hall of Famer beats runner-up Boomer Esiason by a wide margin.
39. LB Darryl Talley (Bills, 1983): The two-time Pro Bowler had 38.5 sacks and 12 interceptions.
40. DE Michael Strahan (Giants, 1993): He's fifth on the all-time sacks list and holds the single-season record with 22.5. Sorry, five-time Pro Bowler Thurman Thomas.
41. LB Andre Tippett (Patriots, 1982): It's a toss-up between the two-time All-Pro and three-time All-Pro Mark Gastineau, but Tippett's the Hall of Famer.
42. TE Rob Gronkowski (Patriots, 2010): In five years, Gronk already has as many Pro Bowl seasons as anyone else chosen 42nd.
43. OT Dan Dierdorf (Cardinals, 1971): The only Hall of Famer drafted 43rd overall made six Pro Bowls.
44. C Dermontti Dawson (Steelers, 1988): The only Hall of Famer drafted 44th overall made seven Pro Bowls.
45. TE Dave Casper (Raiders, 1974): The only Hall of Famer drafted 45th overall made five Pro Bowls.
46. LB Jack Lambert (Steelers, 1974): Hard to believe this doesn't go to 11-time Pro Bowler Larry Allen, but Lambert was also a first-ballot Hall of Famer and he had as many All-Pro nods in fewer seasons.
47. DT Jerry Sherk (Browns, 1970): The four-time Pro Bowler should watch out for Bobby Wagner.
48. C Dwight Stephenson (Dolphins, 1980): Four All-Pro nods in eight seasons? That's enough to beat out fellow Hall of Famer and eight-time Pro Bowler Howie Long.
49. RB Roger Craig (49ers, 1983): The four-time Pro Bowler could soon feel some heat here from three-time Pro Bowler DeSean Jackson.
50. DT Michael Dean Perry (Browns, 1988): Perry was a six-time Pro Bowler and twice a first-team All-Pro with the Browns and Broncos.
51. LB Matt Blair (Vikings, 1974): The Viking went to six Pro Bowls in the 1970s and 1980s.
52. LB John Offerdahl (Dolphins, 1986): The five-time Pro Bowler has an edge over Greg Jennings, who has been to two.
53. CB Mel Blount (Steelers, 1970): The 1975 defensive player of the year and first-ballot Hall of Famer made five Pro Bowls, but two-time All-Pro LeSean McCoy deserves to be a part of the conversation.
54. WR Anquan Boldin (Cardinals, 2003): The three-time Pro Bowler has been one of the game's premier possession receivers for over a decade.
55. RB Ray Rice (Ravens, 2008): Andrew Whitworth has also had a strong career in Cincinnati, but Rice was a stud for several seasons and is a three-time Pro Bowler.
56. TE Todd Christensen (Cowboys, 1979): Osi Umenyiora deserves props, but he's only a two-time Pro Bowler. Christensen went to five and was a two-time first-team All-Pro.
57. CB Devin Hester (Bears, 2006): Hester has more return touchdowns than anyone else in NFL history and could be on his way to the Hall of Fame.
58. C Jeremy Newberry (49ers, 1998): Lavonte David might not be far off, but Newberry is the only two-time Pro Bowler from the No. 58 spot.
59. CB Aeneas Williams (Cardinals, 1991): The only Hall of Famer drafted 59th overall made eight Pro Bowls.
60. S Darren Sharper (Packers, 1997): The five-time All-Pro had 63 career interceptions. He edges out Pat Swilling and Maurice Jones-Drew.
61. S Brian Dawkins (Eagles, 1996): Dawkins could one day be in the Hall of Fame, but Eddie Lacy's off to a good start.
62. WR Tony Hill (Cowboys, 1977): The three-time Pro Bowler had 750 yards eight times.
63. LB Mo Lewis (Jets, 1991): The Jets linebacker went to three Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro once.
64. QB Dan Fouts (Chargers, 1973): The only Hall of Famer drafted 64th overall made eight Pro Bowls.
65. RB Frank Gore (49ers, 2005): Five Pro Bowls for one of the hardest runners of his era.
66. CB Ronde Barber (Buccaneers, 1997): The five-time Pro Bowler is the only All-Pro drafted 66th.
67. QB Ken Anderson (Bengals, 1971): One of the best quarterbacks not in the Hall of Fame, Anderson made the Pro Bowl four times.
68. LB Lance Briggs (Bears, 2003): The seven-time Pro Bowler has an outside shot at Canton.
69. TE Jason Witten (Cowboys, 2003): Russ Grimm is a Hall of Famer and was a three-time first-team All-Pro, but Witten has been to 10 Pro Bowls and counting.
70. OT Erik Williams (Cowboys, 1991): Don't be surprised if Justin Houston steals this spot soon, but Williams is holding it down with two All-Pro nods and four Pro Bowls.
71. RB DeMarco Murray (Cowboys, 2011): A run on Cowboys continues with Murray, the NFL's reigning offensive player of the year. He led the league in rushing in 2014 by a 484-yard margin.
72. LB Jeremiah Trotter (Eagles, 1998): The four-time Pro Bowler beats out a bunch of guys you probably haven't heard of.
73. DE Jason Taylor (Dolphins, 1997): The six-time Pro Bowler had six seasons with double-digit sacks and was the defensive player of the year in 2006. Jamaal Charles takes a back seat.
74. G Will Shields (Chiefs, 1993): The No. 74 spot is special, but 12 Pro Bowls gets Shields here instead of Curtis Martin (5), Steve Smith (5) and Justin Tuck (2).
75. QB Russell Wilson (Seahawks, 2012): The man has helped lead two teams to the Super Bowl in three years. Nobody else is close.
76. RB Ahman Green (Seahawks, 1998): The four-time Pro Bowler had six 1,000-yard seasons but he'll have to watch out for DeAndre Levy.
77. WR Fred Barnett (Eagles, 1990): He was a Pro Bowler in 1992 but also had a career-high 1,127 yards in 1994.
78. OT Leon Gray (Dolphins, 1973): The three-time All-Pro was one of the best tackles in football in the late 1970s.
79. DE Lyle Alzado (Broncos, 1971): Running back William Andrews was a four-time Pro Bowler but Alzado had a very long, very effective career and was a first-team All-Pro twice.
80. LB Bill Romanowski (49ers, 1988): The stiffest competition the two-time Pro Bowler faces? Martin Gramatica.
81. TE Chris Cooley (Redskins, 2004): He's the only 81st pick with more than one Pro Bowl (2). Richie Incognito might also be part of this conversation.
82. QB Joe Montana (49ers, 1979): Another special spot, 82 has John Lynch, John Stallworth and Emmanuel Sanders, but Montana is Montana.
83. WR Ed McCaffrey (Giants, 1991): The Pro Bowler went over 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.
84. DE Charles Mann (Redskins, 1983): The four-time Pro Bowler had 83 career sacks. Looks like he might stave off Mike Wallace.
85. DT Cleveland Elam (49ers, 1975): This holds unless Brandon Mebane can make a Pro Bowl.
86. WR Andre Reed (Bills, 1985): Reed and offensive tackle Jackie Slater both made seven Pro Bowls and are in the Hall of Fame, so this is a toss-up.
87. CB Mike McKenzie (Packers, 1999): The former Packer and Saint had 28 career interceptions, which is enough to make the cut ahead of Vic Washington and Eric Decker.
88. LB Tom Jackson (Broncos, 1973): The three-time Pro Bowler had 20 interceptions and 13 sacks over the course of a long, effective career. He edges Jason Gildon, who had 80 career sacks.
89. WR Terrell Owens (49ers, 1997): The five-time first-team All-Pro ranks in the top six all time in terms of catches, yards and touchdowns.
90. QB Matt Schaub (Falcons, 2004): His solid starting run in Houston included two Pro Bowls.
91. RB Brian Westbrook (Eagles, 2002): He was one of the league's most dynamic offensive players for about five years, which is why we have him just ahead of NaVorro Bowman right now.
92. WR Hines Ward (Steelers, 1998): The four-time Pro Bowler was one of the toughest receivers of his era.
93. CB Ken Ellis (Packers, 1970): Ellis, who had 22 career interceptions, is the only No. 93 with a Pro Bowl on his résumé.
94. S Thomas Everett (Steelers, 1987): With 21 picks and a sack, we give him a slight edge over fellow one-time Pro Bowler Chris Hope.
95. TE Jimmy Graham (Saints, 2010): With all due respect to three-time All-Pro Rick Upchurch, Graham is already a three-time Pro Bowler and he's only 28.
96. DE Charles Haley (49ers, 1986): The brand-new Hall of Famer is the only All-Pro from the No. 96 spot.
97. C Joel Hilgenberg (Saints, 1984): He made one Pro Bowl, which is something nobody else from the No. 97 spot has done. But active guys Ray McDonald and Lamar Miller are in contention.
98. QB Rich Gannon (Patriots, 1987): The 2002 MVP went to four Pro Bowls, beating out four-time Pro Bowler Cliff Branch.
99. QB Joe Theismann (Dolphins, 1971): The two-time Pro Bowler doesn't have a lot of competition in the No. 99 spot.
100. TE Mark Bavaro (Giants, 1985): The two-time All-Pro had 1,000 yards in the 1986 Super Bowl season for the Giants.
101. OT Steve Wallace (49ers, 1986): He made a Pro Bowl with the 49ers in 1992.
102. RB Stephen Davis (Redskins, 1996): The four-time Pro Bowler had more than 1,400 rushing yards four times.
103. OT Mike Wilson (Bengals, 1978): This is the first draft spot with zero Pro Bowlers, but Wilson had a successful 12-year starting career in Cincinnati and Seattle.
104. LB William Thomas (Eagles, 1981): The two-time Pro Bowler had 37 sacks and 27 interceptions.
105. LB Harry Carson (Giants, 1976): The Hall of Famer went to nine Pro Bowls in only 13 seasons.
106. C Tom DeLeone (Bengals, 1972): He went to two Pro Bowls during a nice starting career with Cleveland.
107. CB Allan Ellis (Bears, 1973): He had 22 picks during a nine-year career in Chicago and San Diego.
108. G Jahri Evans (Saints, 2006): The four-time first-team All-Pro is one of the most dominant interior offensive linemen in the game. Former center Tony Mayberry is way back.
109. OT Jon Runyan (Oilers, 1996): He made a Pro Bowl but was also a steady presence during a long starting career in Tennessee and Philadelphia. Marion Barber and Aaron Smith are honorable mentions.
110. G Conrad Dobler (Cardinals, 1976): The three-time Pro Bowler was a star for a short time for the Cardinals.
111. OT Jason Fabini (Jets, 1998): He didn't make a Pro Bowl like Terrence McGee, but Fabini was a relatively consistent starter for the Jets for nearly a decade.
112. S Fred Marion (Patriots, 1982): He had 29 interceptions and a Pro Bowl during a 10-year career in New England.
113. LB Kevin Greene (Rams, 1985): He has the third-highest sack total in NFL history and should eventually be a Hall of Famer. That's enough to beat out three-time Pro Bowl Dolphins linebacker Bryan Cox.
114. RB Herschel Walker (Cowboys, 1986): He made two Pro Bowls and had a 1,500-yard season with Dallas in 1988.
115. C Mike Baab (Browns, 1982): He had a stellar starting career with the Browns and Patriots, which is enough to beat out one-time Pro Bowler Cody Jones.
116. QB Steve Grogan (Patriots, 1975): He started 135 games over 16 seasons with the Patriots.
117. WR Steve Largent (Oilers, 1976): The Hall of Famer made seven Pro Bowls and went over 1,000 yards eight times.
118. QB Mark Brunell (Packers, 1994): He made three Pro Bowls during an eight-year run as a starter in Jacksonville.
119. WR Brandon Marshall (Broncos, 2006): His five-Pro Bowl total is more than every other player from the No. 119 spot combined.
120. CB Asante Samuel (Patriots, 2003): That career interception total of 51 keeps the four-time Pro Bowler ahead of active three-time Pro Bowler Geno Atkins.
121. CB Terry Schmidt (Saints, 1974): A consistent starter in New Orleans and Chicago, he had 26 career picks.
122. LB Hardy Nickerson (Steelers, 1987): The two-time All-Pro was a stud in the middle of the Tampa Bay defense in the 1990s, enough so to edge out four-time Pro Bowler Merton Hanks.
123. S Kerry Rhodes (Jets, 2005): No Pro Bowlers in this spot, but with 23 picks and 13 sacks Rhodes edges out longtime Bengals starter Domata Peko.
124. TE Ben Coates (Patriots, 1991): The five-time Pro Bowler went over 1,000 yards in 1994.
125. C Mike Webster (Steelers, 1974): The five-time first-team All-Pro was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. The next-closest player might be active offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod.
126. DE Jared Allen (Chiefs, 2004): The pass-rushing stud has 134 career sacks and counting. Elvis Dumervil has 90 and has been to nearly as many Pro Bowls in less time, but Allen has four All-Pro nods to Dumervil's two.
127. DE Ray Edwards (Vikings, 2006): He had 33 sacks in seven seasons with the Vikings and Falcons, which isn't much but there's nobody of note in this spot.
128. RB Barry Foster (Steelers, 1990): He had a 1,690-yard, 11-touchdown All-Pro season for the Steelers in 1992 and followed that up with a Pro Bowl 1993 campaign. Good enough to hold off Larry Foote.
129. DE Rob Burnett (Browns, 1990): The Pro Bowler had 73 sacks during 14 seasons with Cleveland, Baltimore and Miami, which is enough to hold off active tight end Julius Thomas for now.
130. RB Darren Sproles (Chargers, 2005): One of the most dynamic offensive players of the past decade, the Pro Bowler edges out former Redskins Pro Bowl return man Brian Mitchell.
131. RB Sammy Winder (Broncos, 1982): Winder had two Pro Bowl seasons with the Broncos in the 1980s. He beats out Aaron Brooks.
132. RB Dave Meggett (Giants, 1989): The 5-foot-7 back/return specialist earned two Pro Bowl nods with the Giants and Patriots.
133. S Kam Chancellor (Seahawks, 2010): The 26-year-old has already been named to three Pro Bowls. No other position player drafted in that spot has been to one.
134. DT Kyle Williams (Bills, 2006): The four-time Pro Bowler is the only player drafted in this spot who has received that honor even once.
135. WR Joe Horn (Chiefs, 1996): The four-time Pro Bowler had 58 career touchdowns. But 28-year-old guard Josh Sitton (two Pro Bowls under his belt) could soon supplant him here.
136. OT Billy Shields (Chargers, 1975): He never made a Pro Bowl, but Shields was a steady starter at left tackle for the Chargers for nearly a decade.
137. FB Le'Ron McClain (Ravens, 2007): The fullback was an All-Pro in 2008 and a Pro Bowler in 2009.
138. DE Robert Mathis (Colts, 2003): The five-time Pro Bowler has 111 career sacks. No other player drafted in this spot has made a Pro Bowl.
139. G Benji Olson (Oilers, 1998): He never made a Pro Bowl but was a steady starter in Tennessee for nine years.
140. WR Terance Mathis (Jets, 1990): He had four 1,000-yard seasons including a Pro Bowl campaign in 1994, which is enough to keep him ahead of active cornerback Brandon Carr.
141. LB Stephen Boyd (Lions, 1995): He started in the middle four years in a row in Detroit, earning Pro Bowl nods in 1999 and 2000. For that, he edges out former Texans and Dolphins linebacker (and one-time Pro Bowler) John Grimsley.
142. P Shane Lechler (Raiders, 2000): The six-time first-team All-Pro has the longest yards-per-punt average in NFL history.
143. LB Scott Fujita (Chiefs, 2002): He never made a Pro Bowl, but Fujita was a solid starter for the better part of a decade in Kansas City, New Orleans and Cleveland.
144. DT Joe Klecko (Jets, 1977): Klecko started for the Jets for more than a decade, earning two All-Pro nods along the way. No other player drafted in this spot has been to a Pro Bowl.
145. S Rodney Harrison (Chargers, 1994): He earned two All-Pro nods during a 15-year career with San Diego and New England.
146. DE Trent Cole (Eagles, 2005): The two-time Pro Bowler has 85.5 career sacks, which is enough to beat out quarterback Mark Rypien.
147. WR Mel Gray (Cardinals, 1971): The four-time Pro Bowler was consistently one of the best receivers in the league with the Cardinals in the 1970s, which is why he beats out two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Al Smith.
148. S Ray Brown (Falcons, 1971): He failed to make a Pro Bowl but his 38 career picks gets him here ahead of a group of never-Pro-Bowlers.
149. DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (Packers, 2000): This was basically a tie between two former Green Bay Packers, with KGB and his four seasons with double-digit sacks edging out Dorsey Levens and his 1,435-yard Pro Bowl season in 1997.
150. LB Greg Lloyd (Steelers, 1987): The three-time first-team All-Pro linebacker beats out five-time Pro Bowl return specialist Michael Bates.
151. DE Marvin Washington (Jets, 1989): No Pro Bowlers in this spot, but Washington was a consistent starter with the Jets. He finished with 40.5 career sacks.
152. LB Eugene Lockhart (Cowboys, 1984): Bruce Laird might have been a Pro Bowl return man, but we give the edge to Lockhart, who had 16 sacks during a solid starting career with Dallas.
153. WR Dante Hall (Chiefs, 2000): Hall was a stud return man in Kansas City, earning an All-Pro nod and two trips to the Pro Bowl. He finished his career with 12 return touchdowns and nine as a receiver.
154. LB Zach Thomas (Dolphins, 1996): The five-time first-team All-Pro started 182 career games in Miami and Dallas. For now, he holds off three-time All-Pro Richard Sherman, who is only 27.
155. DE Michael Sinclair (Seahawks, 1992): The three-time Pro Bowler led the NFL with 16.5 sacks in 1998. No other player drafted in this spot has made a Pro Bowl.
156. G Ed Newman (Dolphins, 1973): Aaron Kampman had 58 career sacks in 112 starts, but Newman was a four-time Pro Bowler with Miami.
157. G Keith Bishop (Broncos, 1980): He was a Pro Bowler twice, whereas Mark Chmura went to Hawaii twice, but Bishop was effective for longer and didn't have Brett Favre throwing to him.
158. TE Jay Novacek (Cardinals, 1985): The Dallas tight end went to the Pro Bowl in five consecutive seasons.
159. S Jake Scott (Dolphins, 1970): The two-time first-team All-Pro had 49 picks in nine seasons with Miami and Washington. He beats out linebacker Bryce Paup, who had 75 career sacks but made fewer Pro Bowls during a longer career.
160. G David Diehl (Giants, 2003): The versatile offensive lineman played a key starting role on two Super Bowl-winning teams while earning a Pro Bowl nod, which is enough to edge out three-time Pro Bowl tight end Frank Wycheck.
161. WR Harold Carmichael (Eagles, 1971): The three-time 1,000-yard receiver had 79 career touchdowns and made four Pro Bowls. Nobody else drafted in this spot has been sent to Hawaii.
162. CB Don Griffin (49ers, 1986): He was never a Pro Bowler but he had 25 picks and 6.5 sacks during a long starting career in San Francisco and Cleveland. That beats out Kimo von Oelhoffen, who had 26.5 sacks during a long starting career with the Bengals, Steelers and Jets.
163. CB Lemar Parrish (Bengals, 1970): Parrish had 47 career interceptions while making eight Pro Bowls as a cornerback and return man. He started 151 games in 13 seasons and scored five touchdowns on returns.
164. OT Carl Nicks (Saints, 2008): Dan Koppen was an effective center in New England for nearly a decade, but he was never close to as dominant as Nicks was with the Saints between 2008 and 2011.
165. OT Tunch Ilkin (Steelers, 1980): Ilkin's successful 10-year starting career as a right tackle in Pittsburgh included two trips to the Pro Bowl.
166. DT La'Roi Glover (Raiders, 1996): Glover was a six-time Pro Bowler with 83.5 sacks in 167 career starts.
167. P Reggie Roby (Dolphins, 1983): He lasted 16 seasons as a steady punter for the Dolphins, Redskins, Oilers and 49ers, earning three Pro Bowl nods. That's enough to edge out guards Corbin Lacina and Dwayne White, as well as linebacker Corey Miller.
168. QB Marc Bulger (Saints, 2000): He had a short but solid run as starter in St. Louis, earning two Pro Bowl nods. At quarterback, that gives him an edge over four-time Pro Bowl guard Max Montoya.
169. CB Al Harris (Buccaneers, 1998): The two-time Pro Bowler had 21 interceptions during a long starting career in Philadelphia and Green Bay.
170. DE Michael McCrary (Seahawks, 1993): The two-time Pro Bowler had 71 career sacks in Seattle and Baltimore and was a key contributor to that legendary 2000 Ravens defense.
171. K Gary Anderson (Bills, 1982): Four Pro Bowls and an All-Pro nod for the marathon kicker. No position player drafted in this spot has made a Pro Bowl.
172. G Derrel Gofourth (Packers, 1977): This is the weakest spot yet, but at least Gofourth had a successful five-year run as a starter in Green Bay.
173. C Matt Birk (Vikings, 1998): The six-time Pro Bowler had a fantastic 14-year, 187-start run in Minnesota and Baltimore. Two-time Pro Bowl running back Alfred Morris is in the hunt.
174. CB D.J. Johnson (Steelers, 1989): Tight end Charles Clay could make a push here, but Johnson had 19 career picks during a solid run with Pittsburgh and Atlanta.
175. C Fred Quillan (49ers, 1978): The two-time Pro Bowler had a strong 10-year starting career in San Francisco.
176. S Mike Prior (Buccaneers, 1985): He had 35 interceptions, most of which came during a solid starting run with the Colts. That's enough to beat out quarterback Pat Haden, who made a Pro Bowl during a solid six-year stretch quarterbacking the Los Angeles Rams in the 1970s and 1980s.
177. LB Dhani Jones (Giants, 2001): Jones was an effective starter over a 10-year period with the Giants, Eagles and Bengals. He edges out former Cardinals offensive lineman Reggie Wells.
178. CB Perry Williams (Giants, 1983): Williams had 18 interceptions and five sacks during a 10-year career with the Giants. He edges out corner Darnell Walker, who had 16 picks and three sacks during a slightly shorter career.
179. TE Steve Jordan (Vikings, 1982): He went to six Pro Bowls during a long, 149-start career in Minnesota.
180. G Dave Szott (Chiefs, 1990): The longtime Chiefs starter was a first-team All-Pro in 1997.
181. LB Greg Biekert (Raiders, 1993): He had a long starting career with the Raiders, finishing with 16 sacks and seven picks.
182. LB Lee Woodall (49ers, 1984): He made two Pro Bowls during a seven-year starting career in San Francisco and Carolina.
183. OL Cody Risien (Browns, 1979): He made two Pro Bowls during an 11-year starting career with the Browns, which is enough to edge out longtime Steelers linebacker David Little.
184. LB Rich Wingo (Packers, 1979): He had a nice four-year run as a starter in the middle with the Packers.
185. DT Jeff Zgonina (Steelers, 1993): He had 26 sacks, mostly as part of a late-career revival in St. Louis and Miami, but this is a weak spot. Guard Jeremy Bridges and quarterback Ryan Lindley are the only other names you might know from this spot.
186. DB Carl Lee (Vikings, 1983): This is basically a toss-up between Lee, who made three Pro Bowls as part of a career that featured 31 picks, and two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Adalius Thomas, who had 53 career sacks.
187. QB Matt Hasselbeck (Packers, 1999): The three-time Pro Bowler had a long, successful starting career in Seattle.
188. P Andy Lee (49ers, 2004): The three-time All-Pro was for a short stretch the best punter in the game. But there's hope for Danny Trevathan here.
189. C Tom Banks (Cardinals, 1970): He made four Pro Bowls during a successful 10-year starting career with the Cardinals.
190. OT Harry Swayne (Buccaneers, 1987): He was a solid starter in San Diego, Denver and Baltimore, which is enough to own this spot ahead of active defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin.
191. C Jason Kelce (Eagles, 2011): He has been a stud early in his career with the Eagles and has already made a Pro Bowl while dominating Pro Football Focus grades. That gets him ahead of Mike Sensibaugh, who had 27 picks in eight seasons, and Carl Hairston, who had 47.5 sacks in 15.
192. TE Shannon Sharpe (Broncos, 1990): The Hall of Famer had eight Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro four times.
193. DT Grady Jackson (Raiders, 1997): He was a journeyman who never made a Pro Bowl, but Jackson's 35.5 career sacks get him here ahead of wide receiver James Scott, who had 20 career touchdowns.
194. WR Leonard Thompson (Lions, 1975): Thompson wasn't a Pro Bowler, but he had 35 touchdowns and 87 career starts.
195. WR Antonio Brown (Steelers, 2010): The three-time Pro Bowler is coming off a season in which he led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards. At 26, he's only going to get better.
196. RB Terrell Davis (Broncos, 1995): The three-time first-team All-Pro was the 1996 offensive player of the year and the 1997 Super Bowl MVP. Sucks to be three-time Pro Bowl safety Brock Marion.
197. QB Gus Frerotte (Redskins, 1994): He had a decent starting career in Washington, making a Pro Bowl in 1996.
198. WR Troy Brown (Patriots, 1993): He had 31 career touchdowns and was a key starter on several Super Bowl teams. Appropriate that he was a Patriot considering who's next ...
199. QB Tom Brady (Patriots, 2000): Return specialist Eddie Brown is the only other Pro Bowler drafted in the No. 199 spot. And it doesn't look as though Vikings guard Charlie Johnson is going to make a run at Brady at any point soon.
200. G Chris Myers (Broncos, 2005): The two-time Pro Bowler edges out longtime steady Jets guard Dan Alexander.
201. RB Jamal Anderson (Falcons, 1994): Anderson was a first-team All-Pro with 1,846 rushing yards in 1998, and he went over 1,000 yards three other times. He beats out wide receiver Charlie Brown and guard Ray Brown, both of whom made Pro Bowls.
202. RB Earnest Jackson (Chargers, 1983): The two-time Pro Bowler had three seasons with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
203. DE Richard Dent (Bears, 1983): The Hall of Famer and Super Bowl XX MVP had 137.5 career sacks.
204. C Rich Saul (Rams, 1970): Saul made six Pro Bowls late in his career with the Rams, giving him a clear edge over T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
205. CB Eugene Daniel (Colts, 1984): Those 38 picks he had during a long career with the Colts keeps him ahead of 1,000-yard receiver Pierre Garcon, but not by much.
206. G Kevin Gogan (Cowboys, 1987): He was a bit of a journeyman, but the versatile offensive lineman made three Pro Bowls over the course of a long career. Also considered, Bengals' all-time leading scorer Jim Breech (drafted 1978).
207. LB Jessie Armstead (Giants, 1993): It might be a little too late for active safety Antoine Bethea (three Pro Bowls) to catch up to Armstead, who went to Hawaii five times.
208. LB Seth Joyner (Eagles, 1986): He made three Pro Bowls during a long career in Philadelphia and Arizona, but it wouldn't be crazy to give this to former Packers and Cowboys guard Marco Rivera (who also made three Pro Bowls).
209. S Chad Cota (Panthers, 1995): He had 15 picks and four sacks during an eight-year career, which edges out former Chargers offensive tackle Shane Olivea.
210. OT Stan Walters (Bengals, 1972): He made two Pro Bowls during a 12-year starting career with Cincinnati and Philly.
211. WR David Tyree (Giants, 2003): He made a Pro Bowl as a special-teamer in 2005 and was a Super Bowl hero in 2007. Not much beyond that, but there's no competition in this spot.
212. G Harry Galbreath (Dolphins, 1988): He had a solid nine-year starting career with the Dolphins, Packers and Jets.
213. WR Donald Driver (Packers, 1999): The three-time Pro Bowler had 61 career touchdowns and is a legend in Green Bay. No chance for Yeremiah Bell.
214. S Blaine Bishop (Oilers, 1993): The four-time Pro Bowler had 15.5 career sacks and five interceptions.
215. CB Cortland Finnegan (Titans, 2006): The former first-team All-Pro has 18 career picks.
216. CB Captain Munnerlyn (Panthers, 2009): The Minnesota Viking has 20 career picks, which has him ahead of former receiver Patrick Crayton and former corner Eric Warfield.
217. S Lyle Blackwood (Broncos, 1973): Blackwood had 35 picks during his 14-year career.
218. C Tom Nalen (Broncos, 1994): The five-time Pro Bowler snapped the ball to John Elway on two Super Bowl-winning teams.
219. G Mark Bortz (Bears, 1983): The two-time Pro Bowler started 155 games over a 12-year career in Chicago.
220. G Rick DeMulling (Colts, 2001): This just got ugly. He started 53 games over a seven-year career in Indy, Detroit and Washington.
221. G Billy Ard (Giants, 1981): He started 123 games over 11 seasons with the Giants and Packers. There's hope, though, for Trumaine McBride.
222. QB Trent Green (Chargers, 1993): He made two Pro Bowls during a solid starting stint with Kansas City.
223. WR Mark Clayton (Dolphins, 1983): He made five Pro Bowls while catching 84 touchdown passes during an excellent 11-year career.
224. DL Jay Ratliff (Cowboys, 2005): The four-time Pro Bowler has started 100 games the past 10 years in Dallas and Chicago. He beats out former offensive tackle Mark Tauscher, active wide receiver Stevie Johnson and defensive back Alfonzo Dennard.
225. DE Reuben Davis (Buccaneers, 1988): He had 20.5 sacks during a nine-year career with the Buccaneers, Cardinals and Chargers, so active guys Brandon Fields and J.R. Sweezy are in the running.
226. WR Steve Tasker (Oilers, 1985): The seven-time Pro Bowler was the special-teams stud of his era and has even received some Hall of Fame buzz. Active defensive end George Selvie, who has 13 career sacks, is the clear runner-up.
227. QB Brad Johnson (Vikings, 1994): He was a Pro Bowler twice and won a Super Bowl with the Bucs.
228. LB Mario Haggan (Bills, 2003): He had a couple solid years as a starter in Denver, but nobody has ever stood out from this spot.
229. CB Cary Williams (Titans, 2008): The feisty corner played a large role on a Super Bowl Ravens team and has been a solid starter most of his career. He barely beats out Jason Ferguson, who had some decent years as a starting defensive tackle with the Jets.
230. QB Matt Cassel (Patriots, 2005): He's a career backup who has gotten hot on a couple occasions as a starter, but that 2008 season alone keeps him ahead of offensive tackle King Dunlap and former guard Adam Timmerman.
231. DT Darryl Grant (Redskins, 1981): Grant was a decent starter for the Redskins for nearly a decade, but it's a toss-up between him and longtime Bengals offensive lineman Bruce Kozerski.
232. WR Julian Edelman (Patriots, 2009): Back-to-back seasons in the 1,000-yard range get him ahead of former Vikings guards David Dixon and Charles Goodrum.
233. DE Clyde Simmons (Eagles, 1986): The former Eagle (among others) had 121.5 career sacks, giving him an edge over Justin Forsett, who ran for 1,266 yards in 2014.
234. G Will Montgomery (Panthers, 2006): He had a decent starting run in Washington.
235. S Mike Zordich (Chargers, 1987): Running back Derrick Ward had 1,000 yards in 2008, but Zordich had 20 picks during a nice starting run with the Jets, Cardinals and Eagles.
236. S Tom Pridemore (Falcons, 1978): He had 21 interceptions during a nice eight-year run with the Falcons, edging out Ray Rhodes, who had eight picks on defense while also scoring seven touchdowns as a receiver.
237. C Todd McClure (Falcons, 2000): He started 195 games over the course of 13 seasons with the Falcons. Keep watching for young Bills offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson.
238. DE Raheem Brock (Eagles, 2002): The Former Colt and Seahawk, who had 40.5 career sacks, is the only player from this spot with more than 25 starts to his name.
239. DE Jeff Cross (Dolphins, 1988): Cross, who was a Pro Bowler in 1990, had 59.5 career sacks in Miami.
240. WR Shawn Jefferson (Oilers, 1991): He never made a Pro Bowl, but Jefferson had eight 500-yard seasons during a steady career.
241. RB Terry Allen (Vikings, 1991): Another ninth-round nugget from '91, Allen had four 1,000-yard seasons, made a Pro Bowl and finished with 79 career touchdowns.
242. DE Brett Keisel (Steelers, 2002): Malcolm Smith might have a Super Bowl MVP on his résumé, but Keisel had 30 career sacks and has been to a Pro Bowl.
243. LB Jeff Herrod (Colts, 1988): He had a solid 11-year career, mainly as a starter in Indy.
244. OL Jay Leeuwenburg (Chiefs, 1992): Somewhat of a journeyman, Leeuwenburg started 108 games over a decent nine-year career.
245. OT Dave Studdard (Colts, 1979): Studdard had a solid 10-year career in Denver, usually at left tackle.
246. WR Mike Wilson (Cowboys, 1981): He caught 15 touchdown passes as a backup in San Francisco, which is barely enough to edge out Al Gross, who had 11 picks in five seasons with the Browns.
247. LB Garry Cobb (Cowboys, 1979): He had 10 picks in 107 starts during an 11-year career with Detroit, Philly and Dallas.
248. G Kyle Kosier (49ers, 2002): He was a half-decent starter for nearly a decade in San Francisco and Dallas, but Steelers offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum might be leapfrogging him soon.
249. WR Dwight Clark (49ers, 1979): The two-time Pro Bowler had 48 career touchdowns, as well as an unforgettable one in the playoffs. Can Michael Sam one day make a run here?
250. LB Scott Studwell (Vikings, 1977): The two-time Pro Bowler had a long career as a starter in Minnesota, edging out active journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as well as solid running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Rashad Jennings.
251. C Scott Wells (Packers, 2004): The 11-year Packers and Rams veteran made a Pro Bowl in 2011. Scott Shanle and Stevie Brown are also in the conversation.
252. WR Marques Colston (Saints, 2006): The six-time 1,000-yard receiver hasn't made a Pro Bowl, but only former Steelers left tackle John Jackson is close to him in this spot.
253. WR David Givens (Patriots, 2002): His role on those Patriots Super Bowl teams gives Givens an edge over Chris Goode and Alfonso Boone.
254. LB Elijah Alexander (Buccaneers, 1992): He started 75 games over 10 seasons as a journeyman.
255. QB Don Majkowski (Packers, 1987): He was a bit of a one-hit wonder with that Pro Bowl 1989 season, but that's enough to beat out longtime Bills center Will Grant.
256. LB Art Stringer (Oilers, 1976): He had four picks in 17 starts during a five-year career with the Oilers.
