Hall of Fame droughts

Playing around with some of the data, I notice that many teams have gone a long time since they last drafted a Hall of Fame player. Twelve teams haven't drafted one of these guys in 30 years.

Here's the chart. For each team, it's the last Hall of Fame guy they selected in the draft. Jets and Cardinals have gone over 40 years without selecting a Hall of Famer.
