Cumulative NFL Draft Trivia - 20 Questions

[SeahawkFever]

Came up with these 20 draft questions in my free time one night. Hope you find them at least interesting.

All answers concern only players in the NFL draft. Not AFL or AAFC in the years those were split.

All drafts since 1936 can be the answer of a question unless otherwise noted.

1. The players of which NFL draft class have played the most career games in the regular season?

2. In addition to the answer to the previous question, the players of what other two NFL drafts combined for 17,500 games played in the regular season?

3. The players of which NFL draft class have thrown the most passing touchdowns?

4. In addition to the answer to the previous question, what three other drafts saw their players combine for 1,000 passing touchdowns?

5. The players of which NFL draft class have scored the most receiving touchdowns?

6. In addition to the answer to the previous question, which other three draft classes have 750 combined receiving touchdowns?

7. The players of which NFL draft class have scored the most rushing touchdowns?

8. In addition to the answer to the previous question, what are the other four draft classes with 500 or more career rushing touchdowns?

9. The players of which NFL draft class have thrown the most interceptions?

10. What are the other four draft classes whose players combined for 850 or more interceptions thrown?

11. The players of which NFL draft class have caught the most interceptions on defense?

12. What are the other two draft classes that produced 600 or more interceptions caught?

13. The players of which NFL draft class have produced the most sacks on defense?

14. In addition to the answer to the previous question, what are the other four draft classes have produced 1,200 combined sacks through the 2024 season?

15. What NFL draft class since 1970 has the most first team all pro selections?

16. What are the two draft classes since 1970 that are over a decade old that share the record for fewest combined first team all pro selections?

17. By pro football reference’s weighted approximate value stat, what shows up as the best NFL draft ever?

18. By pro football reference’s approximate value stat, what shows up as the worst draft class since 1960 with no active players?

19. What NFL draft since 1967 with no active players has the fewest combined games played from the top 15 picks?

20. What NFL draft from 1967 to 1992 has the most combined games played from all picks beyond 263rd?

You may be wondering, why 263rd pick or lower specifically? Well the NFL draft since they went to seven rounds with the most total selections was 262. So the players in the answer to that last question are officially in a spot of the draft board that wouldn’t exist today.

Really quick guesses...
3. 2004 (Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger)
5. 1985 (Rice, Reed)

3. Correct, the players in the 2004 NFL draft combined to throw 1,398 passing touchdowns.

5. Incorrect, though 1985 is one of the answers for six.

Side note about the 1985 NFL draft: It had the most receiving yards of any draft class in NFL history at the time, and it still would even if you remove Jerry Rice’s receiving yards.
