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.
