NFL draft picks still on the front line
The Associated Press
The first pick in this year's draft will be Ki-Jana Carter, the Penn State running back.
What team will make that pick is another question.
The No. 1 pick belongs to the Carolina Panthers, the expansion team whose offensive line is likely to be hazardous to the health of running backs.
By the time Carolina becomes respectable, Carter will have taken such a beating that it might be better to take a quarterback who can take the team to the Super Bowl in 2005, about the time Carter is packing it in.
The Panthers, then, may trade down with Washington, which has the fourth pick and would love Carter to help speed its way back to respectability. Or they may deal with Cleveland or Minnesota.
That would allow Carolina to take quarterback Kerry Collins, Carter's teammate at Penn State. He could learn while Frank Reich takes the beating
Other projected draft picks are:
1. CAROLINA: The Panthers
want this to be a show case draft. The show case player is KI JANA CAR-
TER, RB, Penn State, who's the first pick, no matter who has it.
2. JACKSONVILLE:
2. JACKSON The Jaguars could make it Carter-Carter by taking Florida's Kevin Carter, a
defensive end. And maybe it's a smokescreen that they're giving out all those signals about the guy dubbed the next Anthony Munoz. The signals are real. TONY BOSELLI, OT, Southern Cal.
3. HOUSTON: Floyd Reese, the general manager, loves Steve McNair. Coach Jeff Fisher wants defense. Long Term: STEVE McNAIR, QB, Alcorn State.
WASHINGTON:
The Redskins have their quarterback. if they go up, they take Ki-jana. If Charlotte is here
the team will take Kerry Collins. But if it's Washington, it's KEVIN CARTER, DE, Florida.
0. CLEVELAND:
Got this pick by dumping Eric Metcalf and his salary on Atlanta. Brown uses it for the tight
5. CINCINNATI: They thought they might make Boselli the next Munoz. They give Dan Wilkinson a sidekick whose motor runs all the time. WARREN SAPP, DPT, Miami.
end they haven't had since Ozzie Newsome, KYLE BRADY, TE,
Penn State.
11. MINNESOTA: Why trade up for a running back when TYRONE WHEATLEY, RB, Michigan, is there?
6. ST. LOUIS: Now that the Rams are out of Los Angeles, they can stop the hometown picks. So they bypass J.J. Stokes and take KERRY COLLINS, QB, Penn State. They still need someone to catch the ball. That is, of course, if Carolina doesn't deal with Washington.
12. PHILADELPHIA: Used to have pass rushers. Eagles go for another in DERRICK ALEXANDER, DE, Florida State.
13. NEW ORLEANS: Things
7. TAMPA BAY: How can a team
mess up so ma picks? The ne owners may change the team's luck

have changed in New Orleans, where a good defense has gone sour and a dead offense has revived. ELLIS JOHNSON, DT, Florida, should plug the middle.
8. SEATTLE: They have Rick Mirer to throw, and no one to catch. Now they do — MICHAEL WEST-BROOK, WR, Colorado.
although it's Sam Wyche who takes MIKE MAMULA, DE-LB, Boston College. Mamula's stock is rising so fast that if the draft were held in another two weeks, he probably would be No.1.
9. NEW YORK JETS: New York's draftnks want McNair. He won't be there, and J.J. Stokes might be the next Al Toon. But they take LUTHER ELISS, DL, Utah.
14. BUFFALO: One reason the Bills sank last year was the offensive line. If he keeps down his weight, KOREY STRINGER, OT, Ohio State, can help lift up the Bills.
15. INDIANAPOLIS: Another piece of the offensive puzzle to augment Marshall Faulk. JOEY GALLOWAY, WR, Ohio State.
17. NEW YORK GIANTS:
George Young's favorite phrase is "Save The Whales." This year's whale is 305-pound REUBEN BROWN, OL, Pitt.
6. ARIZONA: Buddy Ryan could take pass rusher Hugh Douglas, but this kind of guy — "Loses his tone and
hits temper, and takes some dumb penalties," writes draftnik Joel Buchsbaum. But even Buddy knows someone has to catch the ball. J.J. STOKES, WR, UCLA.
18. LOS ANGELES: Al Davis

olina State brings
some youth to the secondary.
19. KANSAS CITY: The Chiefs need offensive linemen. But if BOBBY TAYLOR, DB, Notre Dame is there, they will grab him.
20. DETROIT: Remember Barry Sanders gaining minus-1 yard in 13 carries? That's why the Lions will take BARRETT BROOKS, OT, Kansas State.
21. CHICAGO: The Bears need speed and RASHAAN SALAAM, RB, Nebraska, is faster than Lewis Tillman.
22. GREEN BAY: Need help at comerback and linebacker? HUGH DOUGLAS, DE-LB, Central State, is the pass rusher to take Bryce Paup's place.

25. MIAMI: The Dolphins think they can get over the top with a blocker, like MATT O'DWYER, G, Northwestern.
26. ATLANTA: No defense. If SHAWN KING, DE, Northeast Louisiana, can learn to play as well as he works out, he can help.
24. MINNESOTA: The Vikings think a running back can put them over the top. But MARK FIELDS, LB, Washington, can plug holes.
1. DALLAS: This is a team with no holes among the starters but a lot of depth problems. The worst are on the

29. SAN DIEGO: Any more OTs out there? Try LORENZO STYLES, LB, Ohio State, who gives Junior Seau a playmate.
30. SAN FRANCISCO: The team
30. SAN FRANK could trade up or down. If they don't, they have to find a runner like JAMES "Little Man" STEWART
RB, Tenn-essese, not to be confused with James "Big Man" Stewart of Miami.
31. JACKSONVILLE: There are a lot of quarterbacks out there. Let Steve Beuerlein teach and ROB JOHNSON, QB, USC learn.
32. CAROLINA: It needs to build up front. CORY RAYMER, C, Wisconsin, may not be the greatest physical specimen, but he's got the savvy to be a Pro Bowler.
