<fs small>1. from San Diego\\
2. redshirt pick\\
3. Both the Raiders and the Colts claimed to have signed him within a few days of the draft. The dispute stretched on through the spring and into the summer. It was never properly adjudicated by the leagues, but the Colts prevailed by default when Lorick joined them for training camp.\\
4. I could not find a report of the actual signing date. The date given is that when the player was definitively a member of the team.</fs>
