Preview

The 1983 draft is often considered one of the best of all time, especially due to the depth at the quarterback position.

John Elway was selected No. 1 overall by the Baltimore Colts, but he eventually forced a trade out of town to the Denver Broncos. Five other quarterbacks were then selected in the first round in one of the top classes ever.

The Buffalo Bills drafted future Hall of Famer Jim Kelly with the No. 14 pick and the Miami Dolphins picked Dan Marino at No. 27. Ken O'Brien went to the New York Jets three picks earlier, much to the dismay of the fans in attendance. 

Todd Blackledge and Tony Eason were also taken in the opening round, although they had much less success in their careers.

However, the amazing thing with this draft is not just the talent, but the deals that were considered and some that were actually made. 

According to Jay Jay Nesheim of ESPN Media Zone, Marvin Demoff played a very large role in this process as he represented both Elway and Marino. He kept a diary of all the events leading up to what was called the "most dramatic draft day in NFL history."

This will be a great opportunity for fans to get a behind-the-scenes look at the NFL draft. This season's class might not hold as much talent as the famous 1983 class, you can be certain the drama will still be there.

The comprehensive look at this story through the eyes of director Ken Rodgers of NFL Films is certain to provide plenty of entertainment from beginning to end.
