It took place at the Belmont Plaza Hotel in New York City on January 30–31, 1968. The Minnesota Vikings acquired the first overall pick in the draft through a trade with the New York Giants in March 1967 for quarterback Fran Tarkenton.

The Vikings used the first overall pick to select offensive tackle Ron Yary. This was the last draft until 1980 in which the Washington Redskins exercised their f ...
