Glamour Players Lacking In '85 NFL Draft
In the 50th NFL draft the league's 28 teams favored linemen over glamor positions like running back and quarterback. Bruce Smith, 263 pounds, became the first pick by the Buffalo Bills after acquiring the Browns' first-round choice via a deal involving Kosar. Minnesota traded for Atlanta's No. 4 pick to select Bill Fralic, a dominant Pitt offensive tackle, while Houston took Ray Childress from Texas A&M for defensive line strength. Minnesota then drafted another Pitt player, a defensive end-outside linebacker, after a sprawling, corrective negotiation surrounding Kosar's draft rights and supplemental options.
