All-time ultimate mock draft, pick No. 15

The NFL Draft may have come and past, but "Greatest Pro Bowls of all time, and other stuff" continues its countdown from pick No. 32 to pick No. 1, recalling the greatest players ever selected in those spots.

The ultimate all-time mock draft marches on with pick No. 15 ...

Jim Taylor, FB, Green Bay Packers (1958, Louisiana State)


Jim Brown was the most dominant running back in the history of the game, leading the league in rushing in all but one of his nine seasons. That one time he didn't lead the league was in 1962, when the Green Bay Packers' Taylor rushed for 1,474 yards (Brown actually finished fourth that season in rushing yards Quick, can you name the other two back who beat him? That's a real noodle-scratcher of a question, which is why we looked it up for you!).

Taylor's 1,474 yards rushing that '62 marked a Packers team record that stood until 2003, when Ahman Green finally surpassed it (1,883 yards). The most important aspect of Taylor's career was that he was the driving force behind an offense on four NFL championship teams (1961, 1962, 1965 and 1966, which included Super Bowl I).

Other notable players selected at No. 15 include ...

Tony Eason, QB, New England Patriots (1983, Illinois), who was the fourth quarterback taken in that famed 1983 quarterback draft class (John Elway, Todd Blackledge and Jim Kelly were selected before him).

Alan Page, DE, Minnesota Vikings (1967, Notre Dame), who went from member of Minnesota's famed "Purple People Eaters" to eventually become justice with the Minnesota Supreme Court.
