After '56, he desperately wanted QBs John Brodie or Len Dawson in the draft. With the 1st pick, the Rams coach wanted Jim Brown but ownership insisted on local boy USC's Jaguar Jon Arnett who had a journeyman career. Then the 49ers picked John Brodie who had a nice career.
They flipped a coin for the next pick because three teams had identical records. The Pack picked Ron Kramer who had a nice career. Then the Steelers broke PB's heart by picking Len Dawson who did nothing in the NFL but starred in the AFL.
So PB had to settle for Jim Brown.
