The Seahawks, coached by Jack
Patera, also chose Pittsburgh defen
sive back Dave Brown, Miami tackle
Norm Evans, New England quar
terback Neil Graff, Detroit tight end
John McMakin and Baltimore run
ning back Bill Olds.
The defending Super Bowl cham
pion Steelers lost the maximum
three players in the draft. Along with
Brown went linebacker Ed Bradley
to the Seahawks, while Tampa Bay
acquired tackle Dave Reavis.
Seattle selected two quarterbacks,
Graff and Gary Keithley, a three-
year NFL veteran with the St. Louis
Cardinals who did not play during
the past two seasons.
Tampa Bay did not select a quar
terback.
The senior McKay said he was de
lighted to be reunited with his son.
And when asked if he thought J.K.
would be easier to coach as a pro than
as a collegian, McKay replied: “If he
catches the ball and runs the right
routes, he will.”
Each team balanced its selections
with 20 on defense and 19 on offense.
draft, it was permitted to add
another player to its protected list.
The two expansion teams, however,
had no idea how each other was draft
ing because of the system’s
mechanics.
When a player was drafted, his
name and the name of the player
added to the protected lists, were
delivered to the other expansion
team. They were not separated how
ever, and the non-drafting team had
no way of telling which of the two
names had been drafted and which
had been frozen. All it knew was that
those two names had to be crossed off
the list of eligibles.
Each of the new teams had six
people studying the draft lists. Head
ing Seattle’s contingent were Gen
eral Manager John Thompson and
Coach Jack Patera. General
Manager-Coach John McKay and
Vice President for Operations Ron
Wolf led Tampa’s draft team.
They weren t the only people
studying the lists. All 26 NFL clubs
were on call through the day and
night of drafting to supply new pro
tected names each time they lost a
player to Seattle or Tampa. Each es
tablished team lost three players to
make up the total draft number of 78
players.
The new teams got their first look
at the marked rosters from which
they made their selections at noon,
EST, Monday. Twenty-one hours la
ter, Seattle made the first selection.
Officials from both Seattle and
Tampa Bay seemed satisfied after
their first looks at the lists.
Adjustment of the two teams’ ros
ters can be expected to come after
next week’s college draft. Some of
the players chosen in the expansion
draft could be traded back to estab
lished clubs as the new teams seek to
fill out specific positions on their ros
ters.
