It's not like that draft was filled with studs.

I hope this post was intentionally stoopid.

It's hard to think anyone that Chicago would've taken would have actually had a big impact on the team.

Two hall of famers were taken in the draft. The aforementioned, unavialabel Bradshaw, and Mel Blount who went 53rd overall.

1. The subject of the original post was how tie-breakers determine draft order. My post was merely to tell about how the Bears lost out on a Hall of Fame quarterback in the '70 draft based on a coin flip...pretty interesting for a team that hasn't had a quarterback since Sid Luckman. The quality of others that came out of that draft are irrelevant.

2. Are we really determining the strength of a draft class based on how many Hall of Famers it produces?

Well, no, but there really isn't very good record keeping for football statistics available on the internet. I can't just look up how many tackles Mike McCoy had, but his career wasn't exactly illustrious. Go down the list of players the Bears would've selected and you'll find that none of them were impact players.
