Draft
Even though we had a 5-11 season we only sit at 7th. We consider moving up to first to take Joe Montana. We think a lot but decide not to move up. If Montana falls to 2nd we will move to get him. 1st overall Oakland already have a very good QB in Ken Stabler. He's getting older though.
And Oakland selects..... DE Mark Gastineau...
We decide to move up to the 2nd spot. We make the following trade with the Arizona Cardinals
To Cardinals: 1.7 + 2.6 + 3.5 + 4.4 + 2nd 1980
To Steelers: 1.2
And with the 2nd overall selection of the 1979 draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select... Joe Montana, QB, Notre Dame!
Other selections:
5.07 Dave Hoffman, G
6.04 Tony Franklin, K
7.05 Bob Jensen, TE
