1988 Entire NFL Draft Review With Hall of Famers & Notable Undrafted Players

Offensive Tackle - Paul Gruber
Tampa Bay Buccaneers first overall pick.

The 1988 draft was held April 24–25, 1988, at the Marriot Marquis in New York City, New York. The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season.

Notably, the first player selected at the quarterback position did not come until the third round (76th overall), which is the last draft in which this has occurred. In fact, only one draft since – 1996 – has gone without a quarterback being drafted in the first round.

The Buccaneers selected 4th in the first round in 1988 and then subsequent round saw them draft 3rd, 2nd, 5th and 4th through to the end of the process. The Buccaneers captured the 2nd round picks with Philadelphia and gained an additional 4th rounder in the process. They then swaped the 2nd round pick with San Francisco for another additional 4th round selection. The gained 4th, 6th and 8th round picks from Kansas City as part of the Steve DeBerg/Mark Robinson trade. Their own 4th round pick had been traded to New England as part of a 1987 draft day deal.
