Question
Who were the quarterback members of the "Class of `83" besides Kelly, Elway and Marino and what were their draft status?  Thanks!

Answer
Jerry,

The answer is Todd Blackledge (Kansas City 7th overall), Tony Eason (New England 15th overall) and Ken O'Brien (Jets 24th overall). Elway was the 1st overall pick that season (Baltimore Colts), Kelly was chosen 14th and wasn't even the Bills 1st pick! Tight end Tony Hunter was taken by the Bills with the 12th overall pick (the Bills had two 1st rounders that year. Marino was taken by Miami with the 27th pick.

thanks for asking,
Chuck
