How about you build your all time team with just 4th rounders and lower.

 

That would be a fun exercise.

Agreed.

 

To account for the different number of teams now I suggest using players selected after pick #96 (32 teams x 3 rounds excluding comp picks which are different every year)  For example, Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick but he was pick 102 which is a 3rd round compensatory pick this year but it should be a 4th rounder.  In my scenario, Unitas is draftable. Andre Reed was pick #86, which is solidly in the 3rd round now, and is not.

If you did defense there would be similar problems.  The top CBs from the 70s and earlier would be flagged every play for holding and interference because that's what the rules allowed.  I'm going to work on the assumption that QBs and WRs who were really good in that sort of environment would be much better in the modern game because there would be so much more room to operate.  

 

I dunno, have fun with it.

That's a big assumption. They likely wouldn't have the speed or route running ability to get separation. Back then you needed a different skill set. Strength and toughness.
