1964 Offseason:

Staff:

After a disappointing season for our offense we hire a new OC. Bernard Wolford takes the seat.



Trade Proposal:

The Giants offer us the 20th overall pick and a backup T for Daryle Lamonica. Apparently I'm not the only one admiring the upside on this player :-) .. We reject though.

Free Agency

I target the following free agents:

QB Kirk McGettigan - Signed
TE Taz Anderson - Signs with CLE
TE Doug Asad - Signed
WR Buddy Dial - Signed
C Miguel Battle - Signs with NOS
DE Norbert Perkins - Signs with BAL
SLB Emmitt Stortz - Signed

Draft

Roger Staubach sits near the top in a draft filled with great recievers. We are at 15th and have our eyes on MLB Dan Conners, but he probably won't fall this far. Generally the top-2 round seem filled with talent. Our needs are:

C, DE, OLB

At 15th the following players is interesting for us:

WR Chester Taylor
C Jon Morris
G Howard Mudd
CB Butch Byrd
S Paul Krause

Taylor is a surefire star at WR, however we're pretty set for the WR positions with Orr and Dial. Morris is a gamble but we need a C. Mudd doesn't really fit a need but he just looks good. Byrd fits the bill of a punishing run defending CB. Krause looks like he could become a future star of our defense.

We decide to move a few positions down and move up our 2nd rounder. We believe we can still get our first choice Krause and maybe pick up Morris of DE Eller in the second round. That's why we make the following trade:

PIT 1st (15th), PIT 2nd (46th), PIT 6th (174th) & PIT 7th (205th)

for

DET 1st (19th), CIN 2nd (33tth)

And of course we fail as Detroit selects Krause at 15th... D'oh... Morris goes at 18th...

So.. Backup plan...

With the 19th selection the Steelers select Butch Byrd, CB, Boston University.



With the 33th selection we pick DE Carl Eller. His bars suggest a masking due to his high PH and PRS



3rd - Roger Anderson, T
4th - George Burman, C
5th - Lonnie Farmer, OLB

Not the greatest draft due to us trading away from Krause :-(
