History

Historical Context

The NFL Draft, established in 1935 to promote competitive balance, has evolved significantly, with teams trading picks to build stronger rosters. In 1983, the Baltimore Colts selected John Elway first overall, later trading him to the Denver Broncos, exemplifying the strategic importance of trades. This trend continues today, as teams like the Kansas City Chiefs leverage trades to enhance competitiveness and engage fans.
