The Buffalo Bills, which had finished with the same record as the Brooklyn Dodgers, drafted second in each round, with Brooklyn drafting third. Beginning in round 16, a type of supplemental draft was held. From rounds 16 through 25, the Cleveland Browns and New York Yankees which were the league's top two teams, did not make any selections. From rounds 21 to 25, the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Dons did not receive any selections.http://www.profootballresearchers.org/AAFC/1947_AAFC_Draft.pdf 1947 AAFC Draft Profootballresearchers.org https://web.archive.org/web/20130617111227/http://www.profootballresearchers.org/AAFC/1947_AAFC_Draft.pdf February 1, 2020 2013-06-17 Although the Miami Seahawks played in the league's inaugural season, the franchise was confiscated by the AAFC prior to the draft for failure to fulfill contractual obligations.https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/449450649/ All-America League Boots Hawks Out, Takes Players December 21, 1946 The Daily Oklahoman February 1, 2020 Their selections were exercised by their head coach Hampton Poole, and were listed under the name "Florida Seahawks".https://www.newspapers.com/clip/11402329/seahawkscolts_crowley_funds_note/ Browns Are Favored By 15.5 Points Associated Press December 20, 1946 The Evening Independent February 1, 2020 On December 28, its assets (including its draft choices rights) were sold to a group of entrepreneurs who founded the original Baltimore Colts.
