    		The cited article supports clipperraider's post, but it's not correct, because there was an NFL draft prior to the AFL merger in late 1966.

    The correct answer is Charlie Gogolak, a pure soccer-style kicker picked with the 6th overall pick by the Washington Redskins in 1966.

    Gogolak's brother Pete was already an AFL/NFL star, as well as pro football's first soccer-style kicker.

    Here's an article contemporaneous with clipperraider's that remembers Charlie Gogolak among the five kickers chosen in the first round as of 1999:
