The first round of the NFL draft of 1984 college players started
promptly at 8:00 EDT. The first two picks had already completed negotiations
with the teams holding the appropriate picks. Things slowed down a bit
after that, and the round was completed at 11:02 EDT.
No really big deals took place. Kansas City traded a player to the Rams
for their #1 and #5, and Buffalo and Miami swapped first-round picks,
with the Bills also receiving both of Miami's third-rounders (#23 and #26
in that round). Washington used their full 15 minutes, then managed to
deal their pick to the Giants, apparently for a second and a fifth. The
full list of first-round picks appears below:
