Where you around when the Pats practiced in Easta Boss?
You're technically correct,however did you know that
the Boston Patriots and Oakland Raiders were the only 2 teams who had "stealth involvement with the "official" NFL 1960 Draft?
As a part of the official record of that Draft,The Patriots are noted as having taken Ron Mix-T-USC as pick # 1 in round 0 and Jim Otto-C-Miami was taken by the Raiders,also in round 0.
This is an official part of the NFL draft and Patriots and Raiders were the only AFL teams to be involved.
Also,Ron Burton was drafted #9 in the 1st round by the Eagles and Gerhard Schwedes was drafted #11 in the 4th round by the Colts.
I don't know how the Pats and Colts snuck into this draft,but it is part of the official records for that year.
