2004 - 2004 (Sean Taylor, Kellen Winslow, Jonathan Vilma, D.J. Williams, Vernon Carey, Vince Wilfork, Darrell McClover, Alfonso Marshall, Carlos Joseph)
Highest overall pick: Russell Maryland (1st overall, 1991) and Vinny Testaverde (1st overall, 1987)
Other top classes: 1987, 1988, 2001-2008
Notable: You could go about a dozen ways with this NFL factory, but the 2004's class gets the nod, thanks to an NFL-record six first-round draft picks. Taylor tragically left the game too early but was a star during his time with the Redskins. Winslow failed to live up to the hype but did make the Pro Bowl in 2007. Vilma, Williams and Carey were all frontline starters, and Wilfork has been a key cog in the Patriots defense the past decade.
