Came across a newspaper cutout of the '38 NFL draft inside the first Street and Smith Football issue (1940). Three Indians, one Gael, a couple Broncos and two from USF picked.

There are ten NFL teams, five still playing with today's nicknames... Packers, Giants, Bears, Lions, Eagles. Redskins in Washington, the Cardinals in Chicago make seven.

Of the other three teams one still in its original city with a defunct nickname. Name the team and old nickname.  Boston Braves, then Boston Patriots, now New England Patriots.  
One has moved and retained the nickname. Where did it move from and to?  Totally WAGing it, I'd guess Bills moved from Troy to Buffalo.
One other moved and changed nicknames. What city and nickname did it abandon?  Decatur Staleys?

I'm guessing one of the Broncos drafted was College HoFer Nello (Flash) Falaschi.

Hey Mick did you notice the year 1938 in my question? The Boston Braves moved after the ‘36 season. The Braves became the Washington Redskins. The Boston Patriots were founded as an original AFL team with the first season in 1960.

On further review I found four Broncs... Ginny, Coughlan, Wolff and Clarke... no first names.

At a glance I recognized four names... Wyatt (Tennessee, Bowden?) Goldberg (Pitt, Marshall?) Luckman (Columbia, Sid) O’Brien (TCU, Davey).

That was the 1939 draft, and there were actually 5 Broncos drafted. Coached by Buck Shaw, one of the innovators of the 4-3 defense, at least two of the Broncos were from San Francisco and allowed just one TD all season:

1. Alvord Wolff (DT - All America), Mission High in SF, 220 pounds.  3rd round.
2. Jerry Ginney (OG), Lowell HS, 5'10", 217 pounds.  6th round.
3. Jim Coughlan (E), 12th round
4. Russ Clarke (G), 15th round
5, Bill Gunther (E), 22nd round., 195 pounds. (199th pick, penultimate pick before Mr. Irrelevant).

In their history in SF, the Giants have had three pitchers generate a walk-off with a batted ball. 

Gausman (2021)
Bumgarner (2018)

And who?


Clue: 1990 at Candlestick.
