      Traveling around the country just to check out guys you've never heard of, never had film on, was likely a huge expense until the league started making more money. The teams likely couldnt afford to hire more staff and have expenses that may or may not end up translating to a better team. Plus communications back then sucked. If someone wasn't where you thought they were when you called, no way to reach them. Constantly leaving messages and playing phone tag. We have it easy nowadays. We can instantly communicate with anyone around the world and search anything in the entire database of human knowledge, aka, the internet.

    The most insane draft moment that no one talks about is how in 1996, ESPN announced that QB Mark Butterfield had just been drafted. The only problem? He wasn't drafted. Why ESPN put his name up there on the draft ticker, I don't know, but he had no idea that ESPN had made a mistake. He was celebrating and didn't realize until later that night that ESPN had made a mistake, and that the Packers never actually drafted him. Butterfield went undrafted

  • @OfficialJaguarGator9
    @OfficialJaguarGator9 3 роки тому +260

    My 10 favorite pieces of obscure draft trivia that people might not know about:
    1) In 1991, the Cardinals spent a first round pick on a player who never played college football, and played semi-pro football with a team called the Bay State Titans
    2) In 1984, the Cowboys drafted Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis. He expressed no desire in ever playing football
    3) In 1982, Darrin Nelson wrote a letter to the Vikings and only the Vikings begging the team not to draft him. The Vikings drafted him anyways
    4) In 1969, unhappy that he was drafted by the Boston Patriots, Ron Sellers just started negotiating a contract with the Raiders. It didn't work
    5) In 1971, the Eagles traded away three picks between rounds 2-3 for QB Greg Barton. He never played a down for the Eagles. One of the worst trades ever
    6) In 1974, the draft was delayed by 30 minutes when the Lions and Saints couldn't agree on who held the rights to the pick in question
    7) In 1964, the Dallas Cowboys spent 6 hours on the clock. They selected Mel Renfro, and wanted to conduct a medical evaluation before taking him for good
    8) In 1974, Al Davis drafted a player in the 3rd round knowing nothing about him, other than the fact that he ran around in a gym and he liked the way he ran
    9) In 1982, Washington tried to buy the #1 pick off of the Patriots. It didn't work
    10) In 1991, the Dolphins drafted WR Randal Hill. They traded him after 1 game

    Pittsburgh Pirates (Steelers) had the 3rd overall pick in the inaugural 1936 draft. They chose William Shakespeare, who also would never play a single snap in the NFL.
    So the Steelers first ever draft pick was William Shakespeare.
    Also, during WWII, teams wouldn't necessarily draft who they thought was the best player. They drafted players who were married so they could avoid selective services and actually play football.

    Imagine if someone traded every pick in your draft to pick up someone like Marcus Mariota

      Remember the package that the Saints offered Washington to take Ricky Williams? They offered that same package to Cincinnati, with three first round picks. Cincinnati declined and took Akili Smith. Imagine passing up on 10+ draft picks so you could take Akili Smith, arguably the biggest bust in NFL history
