Question
The draft begins on Thursday, with Cleveland holding both the 1st and 12th picks in the first round. Who are the only other two teams in this century that have selected two players in the top 12 of a draft? With both of the teams, it happened in the same year.
Answer
Going back to the 2000 draft, Washington selected Chris Samuels and LaVar Arrington 2nd and 3rd, and Baltimore chose Jamal Lewis and Travis Taylor 5th and 10th. Prior to 2000, this happened 26 times between 1967 and 1999, most notably with the Colts selecting Steve Emtman and Quentin Coryatt with the first two picks of the 1992 draft.
