Hard to argue with the Steeler's class of 74:
1st: Lynn Swann
2nd: Jack Lambert
4th: John Stallworth
5th: Mike Webster

Regardless of whether you think Swann/Stallworth HOF worthy - they were very good receivers and made huge contributions to the Steelers teams.

Personally, I think that the Skins' 81 draft certainly qualifies but it is so subjective that you could argue the top five forever.

Good find. That 74 class really is tough to argue against. Looking at Kiper's list, though, I would put the Skins 81 class in that top 5..........of course, I'm more than a little biased.
