NBA-NFL-NHL-MLB: Ranking 25+ Years No.1 Draft Picks

NBA-NFL-NHL-MLB: 1999-2024 No.1 Draft Picks

Tweet

Written by: Prospect-Central

How can someone rank former No.1 Draft picks of the four major sports leagues (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB) in North America? By following the money of course; and holy $h*t there's a lot of money! 💰 Now before I begin, let me say you should never count another man's pockets, mainly because it's depressing af (lol). For instance, I was recently feeling pretty good about myself because I own a few bitcoins that I purchased over a decade ago and now I feel...well...I feel poor to be quite honest (lol). But I suppose professional athletes bank accounts are public knowledge, so might as well see how all the former No.1 draft picks in all four leagues have stacked up against each other over the last 26-years.
