Quick Facts General information, Date(s) ...

The selections were initially withheld from the public out of fear that the newly formed All-America Football Conference would sign away players selected high.[2] With the first overall pick of the draft, the Boston Yanks selected quarterback Frank Dancewicz. The most notable draft choice in this player selection meeting was made by the Washington Redskins and remains one of the biggest draft blunders of all time. They chose Cal Rossi with the 9th overall pick, but Rossi, a junior at UCLA, was not eligible to be drafted. They chose him again in the 1947 NFL Draft, but he never played football professionally.
