The 1967 common NFL-AFL draft on March 14-15 in New York marked the first joint selection of college talent after the June 1966 merger agreement. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, now head of the combined league, saw the Baltimore Colts choose defensive tackle Bubba Smith with the first overall pick, ending the costly bidding war that had defined the AFL-NFL rivalry.
