I'm a sucker for the NFL draft, and I can easily spend hours thinking about it. Call it a guilty pleasure. With that in mind, here's some curious facts from the NFL draft vault:1985 -- San Francisco swaps picks with New England. The result: Jerry Rice is drafted by the 49ers.
1979 -- Joe Montana was the 49ers third-round pick. Think the player the 49ers picked ahead of him that year was that much better? (James Owens, a wide receiver from UCLA, in case you're wondering.)
2000-- New England drafts Tom Brady with a compensatory, 6th round pick.
1983 -- Richard Dent, a terrific defensive end for the Chicago Bears, was chosen in the eighth round.
1994 -- Kurt Warner was undrafted after graduating from Northern Iowa.
