speaking of 1st round picks

wanted to compare a random teams 1st round draft picks up against the bears over a period of a few years and here's what i found:


cowboys:
1988 - michael irvin (hall of fame)
1989 - troy aikman (hall of fame)
1990 - emmitt smith (hall of fame)



bears:
1988 - brad muster (who the hell knows)
- wendell davis (starter for the bears...wouldn't make any other NFL team)
1989 - donnell woolford (baggin groceries?)
- trace armstrong (known as the guy to wear #93 b4 philip daniels)
1990 - mark carrier (decent player, but certainly not HOF)



keep in mind this was the bears decent streak before hitting their stride in bad picks starting with thierry in 90. and also keep in mind that we had 5 first rounders in those 3 years and how far that got us compared to what the boys did with 3 1st rounders over as many years.
