1963 American Football League draft explained
The 1963 American Football League draft was held in Dallas on Saturday, December 1, 1962.[1]
The Kansas City Chiefs drafted as the Dallas Texans, as their relocation would take place a few months later. With the first overall selection, they took Buck Buchanan, a defensive tackle from Grambling in Louisiana.[2] [3] The NFL draft was held two days later in Chicago.
