1967 NFL/AFL draft
The 1967 NFL/AFL draft was conducted March 14–15, 1967, at the Gotham Hotel in New York City. It was the first common draft between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL), part of the AFL–NFL merger agreement of June 1966.
This draft was delayed as new guidelines were established; redshirt (or "future") players were no longer eligible. It began on a Tuesday in mid-March (first five rounds); the previous two years the leagues held their separate drafts on the final Saturday of November, immediately following the college football regular season.
The expansion New Orleans Saints initially had the first overall pick; a week before the draft, they traded it to the Baltimore Colts, who selected defensive end Bubba Smith of Michigan State.
