215. New England - Mosi Tatupu, RB, Southern Cal (1978)
Tatupu was an exceptionally valuable pickup for the Patriots. The fullback mostly came in off the bench, but from his rookie season until 1988 he played in every Patriots game.

Warfield was a starting cornerback in the Chiefs' defense for five of his eight seasons. He recorded four interceptions in every year from 2001 through 2004.
217. LA Rams - Dick Daugherty, G, Oregon (1951)
In his six seasons with the Rams, Daugherty started at every interior line position and as a linebacker. He reached the 1957 Pro Bowl after missing the 1954 and 1955 seasons serving in the Air Force.
218. Denver - Tom Nalen, C, Boston College (1994)
Nalen is a legend in Denver. The 14-year Bronco was the team's starting center for 11 years, reaching five Pro Bowls and anchoring an offense that won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1997 and 1998.
219. Chicago - Mark Bortz, G, Iowa (1983)
Like Nalen, Bortz was an offensive line staple for a Super Bowl champion. The Super Bowl XX winner spent 10 of his 11 seasons in Chicago starting at left guard.
220. Pittsburgh - Andy Russell, LB, Missouri (1963)
Before the Steel Curtain, Russell was the greatest defensive player in Steelers franchise history. At outside linebacker, the seven-time Pro Bowler started 162 of the 168 regular season games in his 13-year career. Russell lasted just long enough to help the Steelers win their first set of back-to-back titles; he retired after Pittsburgh's win in Super Bowl X.
221. NY Giants - Billy Ard, G, Wake Forest (1981)
Super Bowl-winning interior lineman seem to be a theme in this area of picks. Ard started at left guard for seven years in New York, including a 1986 season that ended in a Super Bowl XXI victory.
222. Denver - Paul Smith, DL, New Mexico (1968)
Smith was a versatile lineman who made back-to-back Pro Bowls as a tackle in 1972 and 1973. He played 11 seasons as a Bronco before finishing his career with a two-year stint in Washington.
223. Miami - Mark Clayton, WR, Louisville (1983)
Along with Mark Duper, Clayton was part of the famed "Marks Brothers" receiving duo who both helped and benefited from Dan Marino's impressive statistical career. The five-time Pro Bowler had more catches and receiving touchdowns than Duper or any other Dolphin player, but ranks just behind Duper with the second-most receiving yards in franchise history.
224. Dallas - Jay Ratliff, DT, Auburn (2005)
Ratliff reached four Pro Bowls as the Cowboys' starting nose tackle. The seventh-round draft pick finished his career in Chicago after eight years plugging up the middle for Dallas.
225. Miami - Brandon Fields, P, Michigan State (2007)
In an eight-year career, the AFC's Pro Bowl punter in 2013 punted for more yards than any player in Dolphins history.
226. Arizona - Stump Mitchell, RB, The Citadel (1981)
Mitchell made an immediate impact for the Cardinals as a return specialist and transitioned into an above-average all-purpose running back by the time the franchise moved to Phoenix. He's the franchise's all-time leading kick returner and is second-best in Cardinals history when ranked by rushing yards.

Lemek missed just one game during his six years in Washington. Playing both at right tackle and left guard, Lemek reached the Pro Bowl in 1961.
228. LA Rams - Andy Robustelli, DE, Arnold (1951)
Robustelli spent the majority of his Hall of Fame with the Giants, but he reached two Pro Bowls and won a championship in his five seasons with the team that gave him his NFL start.
229. NY Jets - Jason Ferguson, DT, Georgia (1997)
Ferguson spent eight solid seasons with the Jets. His best season came in 2003, when he won a Player of the Week honor in October.
230. Miami - Vern Den Herder, DE, Central College (1971)
The Dolphins' stellar starting left end was probably the best name on the No-Name Defense. He missed seven games in his entire 12-year career in Miami, and was a valuable part of the 17-0 1972 Dolphins as well as the statistically superior 1973 team that also won the Super Bowl.
231. Cincinnati - Bruce Kozerski, OL, Holy Cross (1984)
A center who also played at left guard and right tackle at various times in his career, Kozerski played in the third-most games of any Bengals offensive lineman.
232. Indianapolis - Raymond Berry, WR, Southern Methodist (1954)
By the time Berry's illustrious 13 years in Baltimore were over, he was the greatest receiver the NFL had ever produced. The Hall of Fame split end didn't play at all in the season he was selected in the 20th round of the draft, but by the time he put up 1298 receiving yards in 1960, it was obvious he was the greatest pass-catcher of his era.
233. Philadelphia - Clyde Simmons, DE, Western Carolina (1986)
On a defense line highlighted by tackle Jerome Brown and all-time football great Reggie White, Simmons was a two-time Pro Bowler at right end. An expert at tackling the quarterback behind the line, the eight-year Eagle led the league in sacks in 1992 and recorded the third-most sacks in franchise history.
234. Philadelphia - Jim Parmer, RB, Oklahoma State (1948)
As a rookie, Parmer was on the Eagles roster for the 1948 champs, but didn't play in that season's championship game. He carried the ball 15 times for 43 yards in Philadelphia's title defense the following season, and took over as the team's starting fullback in 1951. He rushed for 1636 yards in his nine years.
235. Arizona - Fred Wallner, LB, Notre Dame (1951)
Wallner only spent four seasons with the Cardinals. His final year in Chicago, the versatile linebacker reached the 1955 Pro Bowl. After several years out of football, Wallner joined the Houston Oilers in 1960, winning the first AFL championship in his final season as a player.
236. Atlanta - Tom Pridemore, DB, West Virginia (1978)
A six-year starter at safety, Pridemore played in Atlanta until 1985. 35 years later, he ranks in the top 10 in Falcons history in both interceptions and interception return yards.
237. Atlanta - Todd McClure, C, Louisiana State (1999)
After taking over the starting center position in his third season, McClure became one of the Falcons' all-time iron men. He played in all but four games between 2001 and his final season in 2012 and is the fourth most-tenured player in Atlanta franchise history.

Perhaps the flashiest member of the famed Steel Curtain defense, Greenwood is a member of the Steelers' Hall of Honor after his 13 seasons on the team. With six Pro Bowl invitations and four Super Bowl rings, Greenwood is also considered one of the best players not yet enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
239. Miami - Jeff Cross, DE, Missouri (1988)
Cross was exceptionally reliable on the Dolphins' defense during Don Shula's final years coaching the team. Despite only reaching one Pro Bowl, Cross was a seven-year starter who missed just three games in his eight-season Miami career.
240. Cleveland - Chuck Noll, LB, Dayton (1953)
The legendary Hall of Fame coach for the Steelers got his NFL start with a rival franchise. Noll won two championships as a player with the Browns, picking off a career-best five passes in 1955.
241. Arizona - Larry Stallings, LB, Georgia Tech (1963)
Coming out of Evansville, Indiana, Cardinals legend Larry Stallings finished his 14 seasons with the seventh-most games played of anyone in that franchise's history. Stallings made the Pro Bowl in 1970, in the midst of an 11-season stretch during which he missed just one game.
242. Pittsburgh - Brett Keisel, DE, Brigham Young (2002)
As famous for his beard as he was for his on-field production, Keisel won two Super Bowls as a member of the Steelers. Keisel's finest season was 2010; his only appearance in the Pro Bowl came after a memorable 79-yard interception return touchdown against Tampa Bay early in that season.
243. Indianapolis - Jeff Herrod, LB, Mississippi (1988)
The Colts' all-time franchise leader in tackles spent the first nine seasons of his career in Indianapolis. After playing in Philadelphia in 1997, he was back with the Colts for his last year.
244. Atlanta - Jason Snelling, RB, Virginia (2007)
Snelling was the Falcons' regular fullback for seven seasons. Starting just six games, he appeared in 96 contests for Atlanta, helping to pave the way for Michael Turner's two Pro Bowl campaigns.
245. Washington - Chris Hanburger, LB, North Carolina (1965)
Hanburger was a senior Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. Reaching nine Pro Bowls in 14 years, the 1970s all-decade team member has the second highest approximate value (as determined by Pro-Football-Reference) of any player to don the burgundy and gold since 1960.
246. Chicago - Charles Leno, OT, Boise State (2014)
One of the most recent draft picks to make this list, Leno reached his first - and so far only - Pro Bowl in 2018. The five-year starter will be entering the free agency market next year, so it will be interesting to see how much this unsung member of the Bears ends up being valued.
247. Miami - Bruce Hardy, TE, Arizona State (1978)
Hardy played the majority of his 12 seasons with the Dolphins at the tight end position, but also split wide at times. The utility player ended his career with 25 touchdown receptions over 151 games in Miami.
248. Philadelphia - John Bunting, LB, North Carolina (1972)
At the time a 10th-round draft pick, Bunting remained with the team who drafted him for 11 seasons. He was a reliable starter at outside linebacker, and a primary starter at the position for seven of his years in Philadelphia.
249. San Francisco - Dwight Clark, WR, Clemson (1979)
The hands that made one of the most memorable catches in NFL history were attached to a man who reached two Pro Bowls in his nine seasons in San Francisco. Passing away from ALS two years ago, Clark remains revered among his franchise's all-time greats.

Studwell made two Pro Bowls during his 14 years with the Vikings. A full-time starter for 11 of those seasons, the inside linebacker played in the fifth-most games in Minnesota franchise history.
251. Green Bay - Scott Wells, OL, Tennessee (2004)
Wells was an interior lineman who primarily played center. He followed up victory in Super Bowl XLV with his only appearance in the Pro Bowl at the end of the 2011 season.
252. New Orleans - Marques Colston, WR, Hofstra (2006)
The Saints' all-time receiving leader didn't make a Pro Bowl in his 10-year career. That didn't keep Drew Brees from throwing the ball his way to the tune of 711 receptions and 9759 yards, with an additional 788 postseason yards and a Super Bowl XLIV victory.
253. Indianapolis - Chris Goode, DB, Alabama (1987)
The Colts' Goode started six seasons at left cornerback. He intercepted seven passes in his seven-year career.
254. Arizona - Vai Sikahema, RB, Brigham Young (1986)
Sikahema played just five years in St. Louis and Phoenix, but returned more punts than any player in the NFL in two different years during his career. He remains the Cardinals' franchise leader in career punt return yards.
255. Green Bay - Don Majkowski, QB, Virginia (1987)
The Magic Man was six years into a promising career when he sustained a major ankle injury in 1992. Before being replaced by the great Brett Favre, though, Majkowski was the NFL's leading passer in 1989 and quite possibly could have been just as meaningful to the Packers as his replacement had he remained healthy.
Round Eight
256. Kansas City - Ryan Succop, K, South Carolina (2009)
A pick dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant" when the draft had one more pick than it does this year, Succop has had the most successful overall career of any 256th selection. In his five years with the Chiefs, Succop made all of his 160 extra point attempts and was a respectable 119/147 when attempting a kick for three points.
257. Washington - Rock Cartwright, RB, Kansas State (2002)
Cartwright played five full seasons at fullback during his eight years in Washington. In his second year, before Clinton Portis came to town, Cartwright was the closest he ever came to being a featured back in the Washington offense, touching the ball a career-best 125 times and scoring a team-high four rushing touchdowns.
258. Tennessee - Curtis Duncan, WR, Northwestern (1987)
One of Warren Moon's favorite targets with the Oilers, Duncan reached the Pro Bowl in 1992. In seven seasons, Duncan caught 322 balls, good for ninth best in franchise history.
259. Las Vegas - Steve Sylvester, OL, Notre Dame (1975)
Sylvester was a reliable backup lineman who was on all three Raiders Super Bowl teams in his nine-year career. He did pick up 15 starts throughout his career at center and was Oakland's starting right guard for the entire 1979 season.
260. Minnesota - Stu Voigt, TE, Wisconsin (1970)
Starting for six seasons, Voigt is the third-most tenured tight end in franchise history after a career which ended in 1980.
 |

The Lions' fifth all-time leading interceptor never missed a game in his eight-season career. A three-time NFL champ, the defensive halfback started 90 of the 96 games in the stretch from 1952 until 1959.
262. Atlanta - Jeff Van Note, C, Kentucky (1969)
Very few players could claim to compete with Van Note for the title of Greatest All-Time Falcon. The six-time Pro Bowl selection was a starter at center for 16 years of his 17-season career and has played in more games for Atlanta than all but his offensive line teammate Mike Kenn.
263. Washington - Mark Schlereth, G, Idaho (1989)
Schlereth joined the Hogs after Washington had already won two Super Bowls and played the majority of his career in Denver. Still, the Super Bowl XXVI champ reached a Pro Bowl in his six seasons in Washington.
264. Arizona - Roy Shivers, RB, Utah State (1965)
Shivers played in 73 games as a member of the Cardinals. His most memorable season was 1966, his first year in St. Louis. Among his highlights that year was a 94 year kickoff return for a touchdown.
265. Seattle - Ron Essing, OT, Grand Valley State (1980)
Essing was his team's primary starter at left tackle for five of his six seasons in Seattle. He notably caught two touchdown passes on gadget plays in his rookie season.

Witucki spent seven seasons in Washington. He started at right guard for three of those years.
267. Seattle - Robert Hardy, DT, Jackson State (1979)
"Heart Burn" Hardy was a starter at left defensive tackle for all four of his seasons in Seattle.
268. Pittsburgh - Mike Wagner, DB, Western Illinois (1971)
Mel Blount was the star of the Steelers' defensive backfield, but Wagner was just as reliable at safety during the Steel Curtain dyansty. The two-time Pro Bowler intercepted the sixth most passes in franchise history, including a career-best eight in 1973.
269. Chicago - Ralph Kurek, RB, Wisconsin (1965)
Kurek was a role player in the late 60s for the Bears. He played in every game for the first five seasons of his six-year career, but only started in 12 of those contests.
270. Chicago - Herman Lee, OT, Florida A&M (1954)
Lee didn't play his first NFL game until 1957, as a member of the Steelers. He returned to Chicago in 1958, where he became the team's starting left tackle until 1966. He was a member of the Bears team that won the 1963 NFL Championship.
271. Minnesota - Milt Sunde, G, Minnesota (1964)
Born in Minneapolis, Sunde graduated from Bloomington High School and the University of Minnesota before spending his entire 11-year NFL career with the Vikings. Sadly, Sunde died three days ago at the age of 78 in his lifelong home of Bloomington. He'll be missed in Minnesota and beyond.
272. San Francisco - John Thomas, G, Pacific (1957)
Thomas was an excellent two-way player in the early years of the 49ers franchise. Playing at guard, tackle and linebacker, Thomas reached the Pro Bowl in his penultimate 1966 season.
273. Pittsburgh - Joe Gilliam, QB, Tennessee State (1972)
Initially drafted as a backup to 1970 first overall selection Terry Bradshaw, Gilliam was pressed into action for a six-game stretch as a starter in 1974. He went 4-1-1 during that time, which was instrumental in helping the Steelers get to their second straight Super Bowl title.

Love played in 94 games as a Ram. In seven seasons, he was Los Angeles's starting right guard for three years. He made his only Pro Bowl as a member of the Steelers.
275. Atlanta - Greg Brezina, LB, Houston (1968)
Brezina made the Pro Bowl in his second season before missing all of 1970 with a knee injury. For the rest of the 1970s, he appeared in all but three Falcons games.

277. Las Vegas - Marv Hubbard, RB, Colgate (1968)
Once assuming the Raiders' starting fullback role in 1971, Hubbard made three straight Pro Bowl squads. He remains the fifth-leading rusher in franchise history.
278. NY Giants - Homer Jones, WR, Texas Southern (1963)
Jones reached two Pro Bowls in his seven years playing for the Giants. He caught more touchdowns than anyone else in the league in 1967, and is New York's sixth all-time leading receiver.
279. Washington - Keith Griffin, RB, Miami-FL (1984)
Griffin was the primary kickoff returner for Washington in 1987. He missed most of the playoffs that season, but did get one two-yard carry in Washington's Super Bowl XXII win over Denver before playing his last season with the team in 1988.
280. Cleveland - Earnest Byner, RB, East Carolina (1984)
Byner is the Browns' sixth all-time leading rusher. Most famous for fumbling the ball in the 1987 AFC Championship, Byner left Cleveland for Washington in 1989. After two Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring, he returned to the Browns for their last two seasons in Cleveland and first two years as the Baltimore Ravens.
281. NY Jets - Pat Ryan, QB, Tennessee (1978)
Ryan spent 11 years backing up the likes of Richard Todd and Ken O'Brien. He did get 19 starts in his Jets career, most notably leading the team to a 6-5 record while throwing for 1939 yards and 14 touchdowns during an 11-game stretch in 1984.

Scott played just two seasons with the Packers, recording 354 career receiving yards during eight games as a rookie and a full 16-game slate in 1988.
283. San Francisco - Billy Wilson, WR, San Jose State (1950)
Another forgotten gem from the pre-dynasty era of 49ers football, Wilson reached six Pro Bowls in his 11 seasons playing end in San Francisco. He led the league in catches three different times and, close to 60 years after playing his last game, is still fifth-all time on the 49ers' career receiving list.
284. Green Bay - Terry Jones, DT, Alabama (1978)
Jones recorded four sacks in 1984, his final seasons as the Packers' nose tackle. He was the primary starter at the position for three of his seven seasons in Green Bay.

288. Miami - Bert Weidner, G, Kent State (1989)
Weidner didn't play in his draft year, making his first appearance for the Dolphins in 1990. A two-year starter at right guard, he played in 81 games during his Miami career.
289. San Francisco - Jesse Sapolu, OL, Hawaii (1983)
One of only a few players to win four Super Bowls during the 49ers' run, Sapolu only missed out on San Francisco's Super Bowl XVI run. Starting at both guard and center during his 15 years, Sapolu reached two Pro Bowls representing San Francisco.

302. NY Jets - Randy Rasmussen, G, Nebraska-Kearney (1967)
Few players have been more valuable to the Jets than Rasmussen. Through his 14 seasons, the left guard played in the second-most games of any player in franchise history.
303. San Francisco - Chet Brooks, DB, Texas A&M (1988)

After his rookie season in Los Angeles, Jackson played five seasons with the Eagles. Upon returning to the Rams, all Jackson did was lead the league in receiving touchdowns for the 1973 season. He remained in L.A. until 1977.
324. LA Rams - Dan Towler, RB, Washington & Jefferson (1950)
Towler was a statistical wonder in his six-year Rams career. He reached four Pro Bowls, winning the 1952 rushing title and scoring a career-best 11 touchdowns in 1954.
325. Arizona - Lonnie Young, DB, Michigan State (1985)
Young started at free safety for all six of his seasons as a Cardinal. He picked off two passes and recorded 111 tackles in his career-best season of 1990.
326. Detroit - Rob Rubick, TE, Grand Valley State (1982)
Playing for seven years with the Lions, Rubick was primarily utilized as a blocker. He recorded 511 receiving yards in his career, with a career-high 188 yards on 14 receptions in 1984.
327. Cleveland - Mike Seifert, DE, Wisconsin (1974)
Seifert only gave the Browns one year, recovering one fumble over nine games as a starting defensive end.
