Braves Best 1st Round Draft Picks Not Named Chipper Jones or Dale Murphy

When you think of the best top overall draft picks in Major League Baseball history, not just in Atlanta Braves history, the first name that comes to mind for a lot of people is Chipper Jones.

The Braves third baseman was first-ballot Hall of Fame player.

For most Braves' fans, the next name you think of when thinking about the best first-round picks in the team's history is someone who should also be in the Hall of Fame in Dale Murphy.

Chipper, picked first overall, finished his career with a total of 85.
