Colts May Lose Top Draft Right https://www.newspapers.com/clip/100490510/the-baltimore-sun/ The Baltimore Sun Newspapers.com March 8, 1967 April 26, 2022 They traded this "special wild card" pick in the Tarkenton trade, and the Vikings chose to exercise it in 1968. The expansion Cincinnati Bengals picked second. The Vikings used the first overall pick to select offensive tackle Ron Yary. This was the last draft until 1980 in which the Washington Redskins exercised their first-round pick. Most of them were traded away by coach George Allen between 1971 and 1977 due to Allen's well-known preference for veteran players over rookies.
