Question: This is a list of NFL Draft selections by the Indianapolis Colts, the first draft that the current incarnation of the Colts franchise participated in was 1953, in which they made which gridiron football player, of Oklahoma their first ever selection?
Context: David Delaney Adams (born June 24, 1964) was a gridiron football running back who played in the National Football League and Canadian Football League.  He was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the twelfth round of the 1987 NFL Draft with the 309th overall pick, but never played for the Colts in the regular season.  He was later signed by the Dallas Cowboys, who he played three games for in 1987.  Adams was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and played in four regular season CFL games from 1989 to 1990.  Adams caught exactly one touchdown pass in both the NFL and CFL. The Dallas Cowboys are professional American football team based in Dallas, Texas.  The Cowboys team is a franchise of the National Football League (NFL) and plays in the East Division of the National Football Conference.  The first draft in which the Cowboys participated was the 1961 NFL Draft.  Before their initial NFL Draft, the Cowboys franchise participated in the 1960 NFL Expansion Draft.  In the NFL Draft, each NFL franchise annually adds new players to its roster.  Teams are ranked in reverse order based on their records during the previous season, therefore the team with the worst record selects first.  There are two exceptions to this order: the Super Bowl champion from the previous season selects last, and the Super Bowl runner-up selects second to last.  Teams have the option of trading away their selections to other teams for different selections, players, cash, or any combination thereof.  It is common, therefore, for the actual draft selection of a team to differ from their initial assigned draft selection or for a team to have either extra selections or no selections in any round because of such trades.
