The greatest thing about the NFL Draft
is that it iewards failure. We are constantly
reminded that the world is chock-full of
success stories; people who overcame
great odds to become winners with that
hearty American blend of determination
and hard work. But for every success
story there is also a colossal failure, and for
us in the failure category the NFL "draft
represents our day in the sun, our ticker
tape parade, the time when The Worst
Become the First.
This year no team failed as magnifi
cently or as frequently as the Baltimore
Colts, which puts them at the front of
John Flway Sweepstakes. Flway, the
clear-cut first choice has stated that he will
not play tor the Colts. With that in mind.
the Colts will probably not draft Hlwav.
because they would be drafting to strength.
They've already got 45 guys who won't
play for them, and don't need another.
The going rumor is that San Diego has the
best chance at making a trade for the Colts'
draft pick, and that it will take both of
their first-round selections (picks 5 and 20
in the draft order) to get it. For the
purpose of predicting the first round of
this year's draft, we're going to count the
rumor as a fact.
1 . San Diego Chargers John Flway.
quarterback, Stanford. The Chargers covet
Flway because their present quarterback.
Dan Fouts, is now a free auent and is
asking for something close to a million
dollars. So. at the expense of two first -round
selections, the Chargers will draft.
Flway. trade Fouts to somebody, then
pay Flway about a million dollars to sign.
We should all be such keen businessmen.
2. Houston Oilers Fric Dickerson,
tailback. SMC. You don't get to draft
this early every our without making some
sacrifices to. avoid improvement. The Oilers
have Fail Campbell and not much else,
so they need another all-purpose running
back like the ocean needs water. Bet the
rent money that that's who they'll take
then.
5. Los Angeles Rams - Tony Hunter,
tight end. Notre Dame. Common drat t
wisdom tells teams to draft "the best
player available; regardless of position."
New Rams Coach John Robinson isn't
well versed in drat t lore, however, and will
take the bold approach of drafting players
who can help his team in spots where it is
weak. He can't draft an owner to replace
Georgia Frontiere, so he will settle for
Hunter.
4. Denver Broncos - Curt Warner,
halfback, Perm State. The Broncos really
don't need Warner, because they drafted
a running back in the first round last year
(Gerald Wilhite). The Broncos management
believes in the aforementioned "best
player available" theory, however, and
that's Warner. This strategy should allow
the Broncos to draft fourth again next
year.
5. Baltimore Colts - Billy Ray Smith,
linebacker. Arkansas. The Colts use a
version of the "best player available"
theory because they need help in every
position. I his could be a great team, with
2 1 other first-round picks.
6. Chicago Bears - Dave Rimington.
center. Nebraska. This is Walter Payton's
idea. The current Bears center is the world
renowned Dan Neal, and he's good enough
to allow Rimington to break in slowly.
Don't look for Rimington to play much
until the second quarter of the first exhi
bition game.
7. Kansas City Chiefs - Chris llinton.
guard. Northwestern. All the talk is that
llinton is a great lineman, and may be the
first lineman to go in the draft, ahead of
Rimington. If he was that good, what was
he doing at Northwestern?
N. Philadelphia Fagles - James Jones,
fullback. Florida. Fullback suddenly
became a pressing need for the Fagles when
Feroy Harris, their fullback last year, whis
pered something about his drug addiction
that was subsequently whispered into
national headlines. There are better
fullbacks than Jones, but none that the
Fagles will be able to get their hands on.
9. Seattle Seahawks Bruce Matthews,
guard. ISC. Ihe Seahawks' famed "Five
Blocks of Plav-I)oh" offensive line has
needed help for years, but in the grand
tradition of the NFL Draft they have
managed to avoid selecting a quality line
man. They'll select Matthews by mistake,
believing he's a back because he's faster
than any of the Seattle backs.
10. New York Giants - Jimbo Covert,
offensive tackle. Pittsburgh. Jimbo is about
as Covert as a nuclear warhead, and just
what the Giants need to preserve the who-are-they
quarterback tandem of Scott
Bruner and Phil Simms.
11. Green Bay Packers - Terry Kinard,
defensive back, Clemson. The 1982 edi
tion of the Pack could really put the points
on the board - for both teams. Kinard
was the last line ot detense at Clemson.
and becomes the only line of defense at
Green Bay.
12. Buffalo Bills - Todd Blackledge,
quarterback. Penn State. Blackledge is a
bargain if he's available this late, and
"bargain" is the magic word with Bills
owner Ralph Wilson.
13. Detroit Lions - Tony Eason.
quarterback, Illinois. At one time, Detroit
was interested in trading with Baltimore to
get into the Flway Sweepstakes, but
nothing materialized. Another few years of
Gary Danielson at quarterback, however,
and the Lions would have earned that top
draft pick on merit.
14. Buffalo Bills - Gary Anderson,
wide receiver, Arkansas. The Bills want
Anderson so that they aren't dead in the
water if they lose Joe Cribbs as a free agent
next year, there's a good chance of that,
too, because the only thing tree about a
free agent is the name.
15 New Fngland Patriots - Jim Kelly,
quarterback, Miami. The quarterback with
the nice Irish name goes to play in the
nice Irish town with the nice American
show. Kelly probably wishes he has a nice,
California-sounding name.
16. Atlanta Falcons - Joey Browner,
safety. USC. The last couple of years.
Falcon fans have come to believe that
the purpose of the pass rush was to make
the opposing quarterback hurry up and
throw the touchdown pass, as the Atlanta
secondary found new ways to avoid con
tact wit n intended receivers. They wanted
a cornerback last year and didn't get one,
but won't make the mistake twice in a row.
17. St. Louis Cardinals - Tim Lewis,
defensive back, Pittsburgh. The retirement
of Roger Wehrli gives the Cards one of the
league's true Matador Secondaries. Lewis
is a good cornerback whose greatest
claim to fame was blaming his teammates
when Pitt lost last year. He will get plenty
of opportunities to do the same this year.
18. Chicago Bears - Willie Gault.
wide receiver, Tennessee. Giddy with their
success in drafting Rimington. the Bears
opt for another Bears first: a fast wide
receiver. The only people in Chicago who
run faster than Gault are Bernard Epton
and Harold Washington.
19. Minnesota Vikings - Glen Young,
wide receiver, Mississippi State. The
Vikings need to replace Ahmad Rashad,
and all Young lacks to do the job is a
catchier name. The reason you've never
heard about Young is that Mississippi
State threw the ball about once a month,
whether they needed to or not.
20. Baltimore Colts - Don Mosebar,
offensive tackle, USC. The Colts use their
second pick from the Chargers to get the
most desperate need on their large
shopping list, a quality lineman. Mosebar
has to love the thought of going from the
second best (some scouts say third or even
fourth best) lineman on his college team to
being the best on his professional team.
Of course, the Colts don't have the payroll
USC does, cither.
21 . Pittsburgh Steelers
linebacker, We'st Virginia,
beat Pitt (college version)
last year. The Steelers will
to use both hands.
22. San Francisco 49
Pitts, defensive tackle,
49ers vaunted rush turned
blush last vcar. and Michae
Pitts is just the guy to help.
Daryl Talley,
Talley almost
single-handedly
teach him how
ers - Michael
Alabama. The
into a vaunted
1 "La Brea Tar"
23. Dallas Cowboys - Vernon Maxwell,
linebacker, Arizona State. The Cowboys
have been looking for a Hollywood
Henderson without the Hollywood, and
Maxwell might be their man. More likely,
however. Maxwell will develop slowly,
and some bus driver will walk into the
Cowboy's fall camp, earn a starting spot
and be all-Pro for the next decade.
24. New York Jets - Dan Marino,
quarterback, Pittsburgh. Marino is the kind
of quarterback who gets labelled as a
"project." He s got as much ability as any
body, but doesn't know what to do with it
yet. The Jets need a backup quarterback,
because the only thing behind Richard
Todd right now is a paid-up insurance
policy.
25. Cincinnati Bengals - Leonard
Smith defensive back, McNeese State.
.Somebody trom a school like McNeese
Mate gets dratted in the first round every
year, and Smith is this year's candidate.
Smith is a great combination of si.e, speed,
smarts and bargain price the pro teams
love.
26. Los Angeles Raiders - Gabriel
Rivera, nose tackle, Texas Tech. Rivera
is the Tasmanian Devil in cleats; point him
at the right players and he's unstoppable.
At 6-2. 295 pounds minimum, he's Al
Davis' kind of player; he looks lousy until
the game starts.
27. Miami Dolphins - Mike Charles,
defensive tackle, Syracuse. The Dol
phins will go with the "best payer
available" option because there isn't much
they need.
28. Washington Redskins - Michael
Haddix, fullback, Mississippi State. The
last time Washington had a draft was to
send kids to Vietnam. After years of
trading away top picks, the Redskins have
had to explain to their fans the NFL
Draft is their way of findig brave young
men who will leave their homes to fight
in distant lands like Dallas and Los
Angeles, in return for large sums of money.
Haddix, a big back who can open holes
for John Riggins and give him an occa
sional rest, will learn to understand the
"Large sums of money" part quickly.
