lol it took 10 years before someone realized they should invest in actually watching players before deciding who to draft?

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.

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

You can't just leave out Eric Swann's name. And he had a solid NFL career when healthy.

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

Incredible channel. A provider of invaluable context, in regards to the history of the sport

Brett Favor was great for the falcons, leading them to a Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, before losing the next season to the Broncos, and did it again the next year as well.

I love these kind of videos the NFL does because I learn so much NFL history that I never would’ve thought about and it really shows us how the NFL has become the league and sport we all know it as today.

I'm surprised the ratings for the draft were so high last year. I know there was a pandemic and all, but I thought more people might have streamed it rather than watched it on actual television.

The 2020 draft was awesome, one of the best things to come out of the pandemic. I wish they had continued with that format

this video taught me a lot

That throwback clip of Kiper is crazy to see

There is only three things in my life. “My beliefs, My family, and football” -Me, adapted from Vince Lombardi.

The history of the draft is something that I always wanted to be video and now it is!

That virtual draft was really special I think it Helped us all at the start of the pandemic. I think it's only fitting this years draft is coming and were damn close to the end!

I love that, "Atlanta has selected Brett FAVOR"

You make a lot of how the Herschel Walker trade propelled the Cowboys, but it's a damn shame you didn't mention the Redskins' trainwreck in the 1999 draft, when they received SIX picks from the Saints for the chance to get Ricky Williams, only for new owner Dan Snyder to package them up and send them to the Bears and Broncos to move up to get Champ Bailey.....the ONLY player from that draft that even remotely contributed to their fortunes in the 2000s.

2020 draft was something special honestly

I love the independent guys who make info videos about this type of stuff. But when the companies themselves make these type of videos, especially since they have all the footage, I will always prefer these

"An absolute mahckery" 🤣

When a team does not pick who Mel Kiper thinks they should, Mel takes it SOOO personally. That's the best part of every NFL draft...watching Mel's disappointment that teams dared not follow his explicit instructions. HOW DARE THEY! If Mel says to draft player XYZ, you BETTER DO IT...SO SAYETH THE LORD, MEL KIPER! PRAISE UNTO MEL!

Also in unique throwing motions. Let's not forget Kosar.

Dang did I just watch that whole video without skipping anything that’s an accomplishment 😂😂
