muck Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Last bullet point. Part of the merger agreement that saw the NFL and AFL become one league in 1970 was that the two leagues would hold a joint draft beginning in 1967. The first pick overall was awarded to the expansion New Orleans Saints. The Saints traded the pick to the Baltimore Colts in return for QB Gary Cuozzo, OL Butch Allison, and a 17th-round pick in that year’s draft. The Colts promptly tapped Michigan State defensive tackle Charles “Bubba” Smith as the number one pick overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trots Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think the Aints packaged those picks for Ricky Williams Sr. He soon left the team in a cloud of smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Lets add a few more bonehead 1st round draft picks 1979 Russell Erxleben K/P 1991 Wesley Carroll WR 1993 Irv Smith TE 1996 Alex Molden DB 1997 Chris Naeole OL 1998 Kyle Turley OL 1999 Ricky Williams (not his fault, only because he was the only draft choice) 2003 Johnathan Sullivan and could make it after this season the 2002 pick Donte Stallworth Naeole still makes me mad. Turley was a pretty darn good T, just an idiot. All he had to do was play RT to Roaf's LT - but we see how that went. Sullivan was the worst - we had 2 first rounders and traded up for him.
