The Dallas Cowboys would have had the first overall pick in the draft for the second consecutive year by virtue of their league-worst 1–15 record in 1989 . However, the Cowboys forfeited their first-round pick by selecting quarterback Steve Walsh in the first round of the previous year's supplemental draft . The first pick instead went to the Atlanta Falcons , who traded it to the Indianapolis Colts . The Colts then used the first overall pick to select quarterback Jeff George .
