<![CDATA[Draft Position Of Hof Players]]>We talked about the possibility of the Browns trading down and someone said that we were as likely to get a Superstar...which I interpret as a Hall of Fame type player...lower in the first round as we would earlier in the first round. That thought intrigued me so I checked it out. Here are the Hall of Fame Player by Draft position. (this can include NFL/AFL and Supplemental drafts):

#1...Fourteen Hall of Famers

Free Agents: 15 (several WWII era black players the NFL wouldn't take, but which the AAFC did).

By all indications you do get a much better chance at a HOF player at the top of the draft, especially in the Top 6.
