Oakland Raiders’ Top-10 First-Round Draft Picks

Davis loved players that won awards, like Heisman Trophy winners and as you well know, he loved speed, So he drafted Tim Brown, who was a Heisman winner and a very fast receiver and return man in 1988. But as a receiver Brown wasn’t just about speed, he had great hands and ran great routes. <p>He also ran well after the catch so when the speed was gone, he still had a lot of offer. Early in his career Brown was on that team that was massacred 51-3 in the AFC Championship Game in 1991. Then he finally gets to the Super Bowl in 2002 and gets killed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48-21.</p> <p>But Brown had a great individual career as a receiver and briefly as a return man. He was No. 2 to only Jerry Rice when he retired but Brown is now No. 6 in all-time in NFL receiving yards. And of course, with the Raiders, he’s No. 1 all-time with 14,734 yards and receiving TDs with a 99 of them.</p> <p>Shockingly, Brown was never selected to the All-Pro team but he made nine Pro Bowls. His commitment to excellence is something that won’t be forgotten by Raiders fans for years to come. It won’t be forgotten by the NFL either as he finally got his long-overdue induction into the Hall of Fame.</p>. . . Tim Brown. 3. team. 28
