The Dallas Cowboys found themselves in need of a quarterback in the late 1980s and took an interesting approach to solving the problem.
Deciding that a pair of young quarterbacks would increase their odds of finding a starter, Dallas first selected Troy Aikman with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft and followed that up a few months later by selecting Steve Walsh in the Supplemental Draft.
It wasn’t always easy, at one point Aikman wanted to be traded, but the Cowboys ultimately decided to keep Aikman, sent Walsh to the New Orleans Saints for three draft picks, and went on to win three Super Bowls with Aikman running the offense.
