1992 NFL Draft - Colts Pick First & Second

In 1992 the Indianapolis Colts held both the 1st and 2nd Picks in the NFL Draft. It was the first time this had happened since the Chicago Cardinals held the top two selections all the way back in 1958. The Cards would select two Offensive Players in QB King Hill and RB John David Crow.

The Colts went Defense with both their selections of DT Steve Emtman at # 1 & LB Quentin Coryatt with the 2nd pick.

My hometown team the Miami Dolphins also had two 1st round picks that year. They would double down on defense as well, selecting CB Troy Vincent and DE Marco Coleman with the 7th & 12th picks respectively.

This Draft is known for being the only draft since 1960 to not have a Hall of Fame player amongst the selections. It’s also the final year of the Twelve Round Draft format. The NFL would drop to eight rounds in 1993, then switched to the current seven round format in 1994.
