John Elway said he thought he was going to end up a Seahawks, which he wanted since his wife was from Tacoma and his family is from Wa. Instead we drafted Curt Warner, over Eric Dickerson, and never called the Broncos or Elways agent back.
This sounds interesting - had to look it up, not counting other picks involved in trades basically it shook out as:
John Elway went #1 (Colts) -> Traded to Broncos for Chris Hinton
Eric Dickerson went #2 (Oilers) -> Traded to Rams for Curt Warner who was then traded to Seahawks for Bruce Matthews
Curt Warner went #3 (Rams) -> Traded to Oilers for Eric Dickerson
Chris Hinton went #4 (Broncos) -> Traded to Colts for John Elway
#5
#6
#7
#8
Bruce Matthews went #9 (Seahawks) -> Traded to Oilers for Curt Warner
I guess that's the official word, dont' really remember the John Elway -> Seahawks thing. Very interesting..
