Peer review[edit]

Here is my peer review of this list:

I would like to see the list complete, so it would be good to see the red-links filled.
It would be good to highlight the name for the #1 picks, so that 1 and the name are highlighted green (excluding Elway).
Why did the Colts have two picks in 1955?
Make sure all the links go directly to their correct article, an example would be Rob Morris which should link to Rob Morris (American football).
Haha you should probably change "Packers" in the last sentence of the intro to "Colts."
Dwight Freeney, John Elway, and Marshall Faulk all have photos in their articles. There may be more, I think it would look good if those pics ran down the right side. It would fill some white space.
Make sure all of your notes are summarized in your own words.
There is now a question of whether or not N-C-Systems.com is a reliable source. Read this nomination for relevant discussion.
"Wide receiver" in the first paragraph shouldn't be capitalized. It should be wide receiver.
Add {{WikiProject American Football League}} to this talk page.
"The Colts joined the NFL in 1953. They first participated in the NFL Draft and selected Billy Vessels, a halfback from the University of Oklahoma" should read "The Colts joined the NFL in 1953 where they participated in their first NFL Draft and selected Billy Vessels, a halfback from the University of Oklahoma" or something to that affect.
Link Peyton Manning in the intro.
State in the second sentence of the intro what year the most recent draft was.

Well thats all I can see. Good work on the list and good luck in the FLC.
