Common Draft Plan Endorsed by Williams in NFL AFL Merger
Washington Redskins president Edward Bennett Williams said a shared NFL AFL draft next year would not violate anti trust laws. He argued the common draft would prevent bloated rookie salaries and could boost trades, though he warned weaker teams might struggle to field talent with 28 clubs drafting from one pool. Williams defended commissioner Rozelle over the Gogolak signing controversy.
