The last time an NFL champion had the first overall pick the following year was in 1952 when the Los Angeles Rams were awarded a lottery bonus pick and selected QB Bill Wade.2. That has actually happened twice since the merger. In March of 1978 the 49ers traded their first round pick to the Bills for O.J. Simpson which ended up being the first overall selection in'79 with Buffalo selecting LB Tom Cousineau.The Buccaneers traded their first round selection in the 1984 draft to the Bengals for QB Jack Thompson in June '83. Cincinnati ended up with the first overall pick in that draft but traded it to the Patriots in April with them ending up picking WR Irving Fryar.</blockquote>
