NFL teams hope they will find a diamond with the top pick in the draft, especially given the losing it usually takes to be in a position to make that selection. However, it is no guarantee of a Super Bowl championship. These are the top picks who managed to wrangle a ring since the common draft began. Jim Grabowski (Dolphins, 1966) and Buck Buchanan (Chiefs, 1963) were No. 1 overall picks by AFL teams who won rings. Paul Hornung (Packers, 1957) was a No. 1 pick out of Notre Dame by Green Bay, and was on the first Super Bowl title team.
Bubba Smith
The Colts grabbed Bubba Smith out of Michigan State in 1967. He was part of the team that won Super Bowl Super Bowl V.
