Question
Three years in a row the Falcons have selected skill-position players with top-10 overall picks – Bijan Robinson on Thursday, and previously Kyle Pitts and Drake London. What are the only other two franchises that have done this? Looking for teams that three drafts in a row used a top-10 pick on a QB, RB, WR or TE.
Answer
Lions and Raiders. Detroit has actually done it twice. In 1989 it selected Barry Sanders No. 3 overall, following that pick with Andre Ware and Herman Moore in their next two drafts. In 2002, the Lions selected Joey Harrington No. 3 overall, following that pick with wide receivers the next three years: Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams. The Raiders in 2007 picked JaMarcus Russell with the No. 1 overall pick, following him the next two years with Darren McFadden and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
