With the 2022 NFL Draft quickly approaching, here is a public service reminder.

Instant grades will be handed out as soon players begin coming off the board.

The idea of an "instant grade" following a draft is dumb. The truth is, a team's draft can only be graded after a minimum of 3 years.

Some have won Super Bowls. Some were complete busts. Some spent time in prison.

Here is a look at every #1 overall NFL Draft pick of the 21st century.
