Really nice detail of the picks through the years, including the early days. This is not simply a book on the 1974 draft (though it gets plenty of recognition). It details BLESTO and pre-BLESTO material. There's a really good section on Ernie Stautner. I like the book so much that I got a softcover copy after buying the Kindle version.
