Sixteen offensive skill-position players were taken in the first round of this year's draft, more than in any other draft in the last quarter-century. The previous high in that span was 14 in 1987, when Vinny Testaverde went No. 1 to Tampa Bay. You can bet Eli Manning and Co. would like to surpass the career production of the class of '87, which featured some staying power but little star power.
