1967 NFL/AFL Draft

src: static.nfl.com

The 1967 National Football League draft was conducted March 14-15, 1967, at the Gotham Hotel in New York City. It was the first common draft with the AFL, part of the AFL-NFL merger agreement of June 1966.

This draft was delayed as new guidelines were established; redshirt (or "future") players were no longer eligible. It began on a Tuesday in mid-March; the previous two years the leagues held their separate drafts on the final Saturday of November, immediately following the college football regular season.
