From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1990 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held April 22–23, 1990 , at the Marriot Marquis in New York City , New York .[ 1] [ 2] The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season.
The Dallas Cowboys would have had the #1 overall pick in the draft for the second consecutive year by virtue of their league-worst 1–15 record in 1989 . However, the Cowboys forfeited their first round pick by selecting quarterback Steve Walsh in the first round of the previous year's supplemental draft . The first pick instead went to the Atlanta Falcons , who traded it to the Indianapolis Colts .
