1991: Dallas Cowboys: Russell Maryland
Russell Maryland was taken by Dallas out of Miami after the Cowboys finished 1990 with a 7-9 mark. He was the first overall pick in the 1991 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys after the initial No. 1 prospect Raghib Ismail decided to sign with the Toronto Argonauts. After the New England Patriots failed to sign Ismail, the Cowboys attempted to do so by trading for the first overall pick, sending the Patriots Eugene Lockhart, Ron Francis, David Howard, a 1991 first-round pick (#11 Pat Harlow) and a 1991 second-round pick (#41 Jerome Henderson). When they could not get Ismail, they drafted Maryland. A year later, Dallas was 11-5.
