Brief history of multiple 1st rd picks

Just like the rest of the draft, it's HIT or MISS. Only 4 examples I can see where a team got both picks right:

2005 San Diego Chargers Luis Castillo
2005 San Diego Chargers Shawne Merriman

2006 New York Jets D'Brickashaw Ferguson
2006 New York Jets Nick Mangold

2008 Carolina Panthers Jonathan Stewart
2008 Carolina Panthers Jeff Otah

2008 Dallas Cowboys Felix Jones
2008 Dallas Cowboys Mike Jenkins

Our picks of VD and Manny almost make the list, but not quite because neither one has reached their full potential IMO.

Let's hope the Niners strike gold twice this year.

Um, Willis and Staley?

My bad! How could I be so blind. Got to give Staley his props as a starter from day 1 along with P-Willy.

Wow I forgot that the Jets had 4 1st rounders that year.

I know and none of them really worked out for them either.

. . .yet.
