The Lions in 1962 with Hadl in the first round and Eddie Wilson in the 2nd round

The Jets in 1965 AFL draft was close Namath 1st round someone named Bob Schweickert in the 4th round. Both QBs were draft by the NFL but signed with the Jets. Namath -Cardinals and Schweickert-49ers

I thought of the Redskins in 2012 with RG3 and Cousins, but Cousins was the 7th pick of the 4th round.
Strange that I missed QB John Huarte being drafted by the 1965 Jets in the 2nd round. lol So the 1965 Jets did it also.

I'm pretty certain Huarte was the Jets' safety pick in the event they failed to sign Namath. I believe if Namath had not signed they would've gone with Mike Taliaferro instead of Huarte. Huarte never played for the Jets and was a career backup, I believe a 3rd stringer. His best season came with the WFL's Memphis Southmen.
