That 229 next to Bruce Smith piqued my interest and sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. 1st overall pick in 1985. Buffalo made the right pick, but get this: the first "skill position" player chosen was Al Toon at 10th and the first QB taken? SECOND round pick Randall Cunningham. My how the NFL draft has changed!
