7. North Carolina: LB Chris Hanburger - You have to go back a ways to find a real steal from UNC, but there's little doubt Washington hit a home run when it nabbed linebacker Chris Hanburger in the 18th round at pick No. 245 in 1965. Hanburger played 14 seasons in Washington, making nine Pro Bowls. He was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in 2011. (ESPN.com)
