<![CDATA[#1 Overall Question]]> Here is a   Question.....that I don't know the answer to.     Would have to research, or maybe someone knows:

When was the last time, if ever,   a  team  had  3 #1 Overall  draft picks on their roster.......the way the Browns do now with  Garrett,  Baker, and Clowney? 

Edit:  tried to look it up but could find no specific answer.

Surprisingly bad team.

I will go back and edit to highlight the HOF players, just to see what the result is.  (and, actually....kicker is not one of the weak spots)

Offense

QB:   Peyton Manning     Runnersup:  John Elway/Troy Aikman/Terry Bradshaw   (34  QBs to choose from)

FB:  Corbett  Davis (1938)    2 to choose from

HB/RB:  OJ  Simpson   Runnerup:   Earl Campbell  out of 20

WR1:   Keyshawn Johnson

WR2:  Irving Fryar      2 out of 3 here

TE:  Leon Hart   out of 2

OC:   Chuck Bednarik    out of 2

OT1:  Orlando Pace

OT2:  Ron Yary

No OGs ever drafted  #1 overall....so I am taking a couple of tackles and moving them: 

OG1:   Eric Fisher.....moved inside from OT

OG2:  Jake Long....moved inside from OT

Defense

DT1:  Russell Maryland

DT2:  Dan Wilkinison

DE1:  Bruce Smith

DE2: Leroy Selmon

MLB:  Tommy Nobis

OLB1: Aundray Bruce

OLB2:  Tom Cousineau.....moved outside   (where he actually may have been better suited than inside)

DB1:  Gary Glick      (only DB to ever be picked  #1 overall....   for the next  3 DB spots, I am moving some guys there that I think could possibly handle the DB:)

DB2:  Bo Jackson    moved from RB

DB3: Michael  Vick    moved from QB.......Jackson and Vick had the speed in their prime to cover I think

DB4:  Dave Parks   WR  (the  3rd  #1 pick WR....as a WR I think he could handle defending passes

Special Teams:

Long Snapper:   Ki Aldrich    he is the only Center besides Bednarik drafted #1....and as such he probably did a share of long snapping

Kicker:   Paul Hornung     played  HB/QB and kicked.   He made  66 NFL FGs with a long of  52 yards,  and was  190 of 194 on  extra points in the NFL

Punter:   Jay Berwanger...... very first  #1 overall pick in 1936.....he punted on his NFL career by going into business and never playing....so I give this spot to him (though there may have been some old timer who did punting duties...I am just not aware. 

BOLD are HOF

 Game Together: 2016-2017 Cleveland Cavaliers (3 First Overall Picks)

Lebron James and Kyrie Irving were joined by Andrew Bogut in a midseason effort to prepare for the Finals. Unfortunately, he was injured in the first minute of his first game on the Cavs, capping his career time on the Cavs at 1 minute.
