The Dodgers had 20 total selections in the draft. Their first round selection was USC running back Bobby Robertson. The Dodgers also selected Kansas end Ralph Miller. Miller would decline playing in the NFL and would eventually go on to a Hall of Fame career coaching college basketball, which he also played at Kansas.
