GAMBLERS TRIVIA
--
A lottery was conducted among the six expansion franchises for 1984 to determine the order of selection in the 1984 USFL Draft.
--
The Gamblers consequently received the 5th selection in the draft's first round, which they traded to the Arizona Wranglers.
--
The Gamblers would be given a second first-round choice as part of the method used to stock the expansion teams, but Houston would trade this pick away as well, to the New Jersey Generals.
--
In all, the Gamblers would trade away seven draft choices during the first ten rounds of the 1984 draft.
