1968: Minnesota Vikings: Ron Yary
The 1967 Minnesota Vikings went 3-8-3 and chose USC tackle Ron Yary at the top of the draft. How did a team with three wins and three ties get the No. 1 pick, you ask? The Vikings had traded quarterback Fran Tarkenton to the New York Giants in March and received first- and second-round picks in 1967, a first-round pick in 1968 and a second-round pick in 1969. A year later, they went 8-6 and were a playoff team.
