John Elway was the first pick of the draft. We didn't pick first.
Also in 1979 we maneuvered to get ahead of the 49ers to get Clemson QB Steve Fuller whom they coveted. The had to settle in the 3rd round (the end of 3rd actually) for this QB named Joe Montana. Not quite a 6th rounder like Brady, but many teams passed on Montana.
