The 1989 Entire NFL Draft Review

NFL Draft Logo 1976 to Present

Linebacker - Broderick Thomas
Tampa Bay Buccaneers first overall pick.

The 1989 draft was held April 23–24, 1989, 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.

Four of the first five players drafted this year would eventually be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only exception was Tony Mandarich, the second pick. Mandarich is considered to be one of the biggest NFL draft busts.

The Buccaneers had the sixth overall pick in the first round and then drafted 5th, 7th and 6th through the draft from then on. The additional 6th round pick came from Seattle as part of the disastrous Ron Heller trade. The Buccaneers gained the two additional 11th round picks and a 12th round pick from the Steelers on draft day in return for an 8th round pick the following year.
