    Bills had 4th best draft ever

    4. 1985 Buffalo Bills

    Notable picks: DE Bruce Smith (Round 1), QB Frank Reich (Round 3), WR Andre Reed (Round 4), OT Dale Hellestrae (Round 4)

    Three of the aforementioned players were key contributors for a franchise that went to an unprecedented four consecutive Super Bowls. Smith and Reed are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Reich directed the greatest comeback in league history. Hellestrae wasn't in Buffalo for any of that success, but did go on to a 15-year NFL career as a long snapper and collected three Super Bowl rings with the Cowboys (two of which came against the team that drafted him).

    When the NFL Network did a Top Ten greatest draft classes of all time the 1985 Bills class was 8th or 9th IIRC

        Derrick Burroughs (career ending injury), Chris Burkett, and Hal Garner also had their moments as Bills. Ron Pitts got picked up by GB and was a pretty good return man.
