 * Keep. The article is currently in awful shape, but there is a kernel of a good list article here. The No. 2 picks have resulted in many all-time NFL greats. In addition to those listed, there's Earl Morrall (1956), Norm Snead (1961), Roman Gabriel (1962), Tom Mack (1966), Randy White (1975), Tony Dorsett (1977), Lawrence Taylor (1981), Eric Dickerson (1983), and Marshall Faulk (1994). Also the occasional bust: Ryan Leaf (1998). And, while not currently present in the article, there's been a good deal of coverage devoted to the No. 2 picks. Examples:, , , , , , .

 * Also, the article was nominated less than 24 hours after creation. Time should be given for this article to develop. I will work on it a bit. Cbl62 (talk) 15:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
