What was the lowest NFL draft pick to make the Hall of Fame?
Joe Namath. Easily and by far. He was famous and was on a team that won the Super Bowl, so I guess he fits the "fame" criteria. His overall body of work is poor. He threw 47 more interceptions than touchdowns in his career, a low completion percentage, and a passer rating that would put him near the bottom of the league in most era's. There are probably 100 QB's that should be in the Hall instead of him based on actual performance over their careers.

Who was Mr Irrelevant in the 1993 NFL Draft?
Kelvin Kirk, selected by the Steelers.
the term "Mr. Irrelevent" was coined in 1976, when former Southern California and NFL receiver Paul Salata founded "Irrelevant Week" in Newport Beach, California. Salata announces the final draft pick during the NFL draft. During the summer after the NFL draft, the new Mr. Irrelevant and his family are invited to spend a week in Newport, where they enjoy a golf tournament, a regatta, a roast giving advice to the new draftee, and a ceremony awarding him the Lowsman Trophy. The trophy mimics the Heisman, but depicts a player fumbling a football.

If the NFL draft you from navy how long you got to wait to be in the NFL?
Until you are out of the Navy.
Once you go past your sophomore year at any US military academy you are under contract with the American government to serve four years or more as an officer in the US military.
Because you can not enter the NFL draft until you are a Junior you would be under contract to the military (in this case Navy). You would have to serve your time in the military and then go play football. There are cased where people file a law suit to get out of the commitment to the military but these are rare and only some of them win.
David Robinson (retired San Antonio Spurs player) was drafted to the NBA out of Navy and did not file suit. He spent four years as a Naval Officer and then went to play for the Spurs. This earned him the nickname 'Admiral' since he fulfilled his commitment to the Navy
