Owner Art Modell fired his head coach Bill Belichick, future winner of six Lombardi trophies after the team had scouted players at the combine. Team officials then moved their operations from modern 5-year-old headquarters in Cleveland to a dilapidated police academy outside Baltimore just 19 days before the draft.
