4. C Dave Dalby (Pick No. 100)

Finding quality offensive linemen after the first three rounds is incredibly tough. But to find Pro-Bowl linemen in the triple-digit picks is nearly impossible. But that is precisely what the Raiders did in the 1972 draft when they selected center Dave Dalby from UCLA.

Dalby started his career as a reserve lineman for the Raiders, failing to start a single game from 1972-1974. But in 1975, he got a chance at the starting center job and never gave it up. He would go on to start 135 games for the Raiders, as he was the team’s starting center in all three of their Super Bowl wins.

Dalby would make just one Pro Bowl team during his career, but he was a far better player than the accolades would suggest. He was among the league’s best and most reliable centers for a decade.
