So it looks like this year there may be a pair of defensive backs drafted in the first round (Marlon Humphrey and Jamal Adams) whose fathers were also first round picks (RBs George Adams '85 Giants and Bobby Humphrey '89 Broncos - Supplemental Draft). I tried to list some other times this has happened, and this is what I came up with:

Archie and Peyton / Eli Manning

Ed and Brad Budde

Bruce and Jake Mathews

Mark Ingram (Sr. and Jr.)

Kellen Winslow (Sr. and Jr.)

Steve and Keith DeLong

Can anyone think of any others?

Thanks.

Copied from Billy Cannon Jr's wikipedia page...

The Cannons are part of a group of eighteen families, that have had more than one of their members drafted in the first round of the NFL draft (Manning, Budde, Winslow, Matthews, Ingram, DeLong, Jones, McDougle, Brock, Browner, Olsen, Rogers, Seymour, Smith, Van Buren, Upshaw and Long).

I believe all the others are brothers that were 1st rounders.

Dub Jones and son Bert Jones were not only first round draft picks, but both were the second overall pick in their respective drafts. Dub Jones was the first round pick of the Chicago Cardinals in 1946 and Bert Jones was the first round pick of the Baltimore Colts in 1973.

At first I thought that the "Long" in that list was Howie and Chris. But I see Howie was a 2nd rounder. So I have no idea who the Longs are.

Different sport (by the son), but Calvin and Grant Hill (NBA) should merit consideration.
