’88 NFL draft was a strange one A
Teams draft for strong needs rather than skills
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Ir
vin and Keith Jackson, two garne-
breaking receivers, lasted until the
11th and 13th picks. A kicker was
chosen before the first quarterback
and the first quarterback was really a
punter.
The 1988 NFL draft was defi
nitely one in which teams went for
needs rather than sheer athletic skill.
With few exceptions in the five
rounds that took nine hours and 28
minutes, teams examined their
holes, then took players to fill them.
That was particularly true of the
stronger teams — the Cleveland
Browns, Denver Broncos San Fran
cisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints,
New York Giants, Denver Broncos
and even the Super Bowl champion
Washington Redskins.
Only one true quarterback was
drafted Sunday. Three more quar
terbacks — Don McPherson of Syra
cuse, Scott Secules of Virginia and
Stan Humphries of Northeast Loui
siana — went in the sixth round to
day.
Typical of Sunday’s draft was Mi
ami’s choice of Ohio State’s Eric Ku-
merow with the 16th pick in the
draft. Kumerow, a 257-pound de
fensive end-linebacker, was gener
ally rated a second-rounder or lower
but he fit one of the Dolphins’ des
perate needs.
“We had 17 sacks last year and the
Bears had 70 so we had to do some
thing,” said Chuck Studley, Miami’s
linebacker coach. “I think he’s going
to be great pass-rusher.”
While a record six wide receivers
and five runnning backs went in the
first round, no quarterbacks were
chosen and the first quarterback
went lower than ever before. In all,
one pure quarterback was taken in
Sunday’s five rounds and 137 picks
even though a half-dozen teams des
perately need players at that posi
tion.
In fact, the first quarterback taken
was actually a punter, Tom Tupa of
Ohio State by Phoenix. He was cho
sen as with the 69th pick of the draft
primarily to kick. He was the NFL
scouting combine’s 11 th-rated quar
terback and would probably be used
as an emergency backup.
When Indianapolis took Washing
ton’s Chris Chandler seven picks
later, the quarterback drought was
finally over and a new record had
been set. The lowest the first quar
terback was taken previously was in
1974, when the Cowboys used the
53rd pick on Danny Wnite, who is
still their quarterback.
The second true quarterback went
when the Philadelphia Eagles picked
McPherson, runner-up for the Heis-
man Trophy last season after lead
ing Syracuse to an 11-0-1 season.
In the second round, the Miami
Dolphins took running back Melvin
Bratton of Miami, who might have
been a first-rounder if not for a se
rious knee injury suffered in the
Hurricanes’ victory over Oklahoma
for the national champioship.
The first round was typical of the
search for needs.
The first eight picks, starting with
Auburn linebacker Aundray Bruce,
already signed by the Atlanta Fal
cons, was predictable.
But then the Los Angeles Raiders,
who had already taken Heisman
Trophy winner Tim Brown of Notre
Dame with the sixth choice, used the
ninth on Terry McDaniel, a cor-
nerback from Tennessee, who was
projected as a late-first, early sec
ond-rounder. He will be used as a
successor to the keystones of the
Raiders’ aging secondary, cor-
nerbacks Mike Haynes and Lester
Hayes.
Then the Giants took 290-pound
offensive tackle Eric Moore of In
diana, following it up with 306-
pounder John Elliott of Michigan on
the second round as they chose to
rebuild the offensive line that was in
part responsible for their slip to 6-9
from a Super Bowl title in 1986.
That left Irvin, the Miami wide re
ceiver and one of the top athletes
available, to slip through to Dallas,
which needed just about everything,
particularly outside speed.
“He should accelerate our return
to the living,” said Tex Schramm,
Dallas’ president.
Jackson slipped by the Cardinals,
who in their usual enigmatic style,
took California linebacker Ken Har
vey, claiming they needed an outside
rushing linebacker. If he works out.
Harvey would compensate for t#(
previous draft disappointments ai
outside linebacker — Freddie Jot
Nunn, the Cardinals’ first pickii
1985, and Anthony Bell, their firs
choice in 1986.
That left the Eagles to take Jack
son.
“I think the guy’s as fine an
lete is in the draft,” said Joe Wools
the Philadelphia personnel director
“And he’s graduated. We didn’t
a dummy out of Oklahoma."
But most of the better teams wen
for- needs.
The Redskins, whose first pit!
was the last of the second round and
55th overall, took Chip Lohmiller,
kicker from Minnesota, in hopes
ending the erratic kicking game that
has plagued them the last two years.
Then they traded away three late:
picks to move up in the third round
to take another specialist, kick-re
turner Mike Oliphant of Pug«
Sound, and set up a brother-on
brother confrontation when thei
used their fourth-rounder to takt
Jamie Morris of Michigan, brother
of Joe Morris, a running back for
their main NFC East rival, the Gi
ants.
Cleveland, deperately nei
pass rushers, went for Clifford
Charlton, a blitzing Florida line
backer on the first round, then tool
defensive lineman Michael Dear
Perry of Clemson, the brother of
Chicago’s William Perry. They
tided on Charlton over Lorenzo
White of Michigan State, who would
have augmented an already strong
running back corps.
McPherson starts run
of quarterback picks
NEW YORK (AP) — Don Mc
Pherson, the Heisman Trophy run
ner-up, set off a run on quarterbacks
on the second day of the NFL draft
Monday after the position was vir
tually ignored the first day.
McPherson, who led Syracuse to
an 11-0-1 season, was taken with the
12th pick of the sixth round by the
Philadelphia Eagles — the 149th
player taken but only the second
true quarterback taken during the
draft.
The first, Chris Chandler of
Washington, was chosen on the third
round Sunday by Indianapolis, the
76th pick overall. Earlier, Phoenix
had taken Tom T upa of Ohio State
with the 68th pick, put Tupa is re
garded primarily as a punter.
Before this year, the latest a quar
terback had been chosen was in
1974, when Dallas took Danny
White with the 53rd pick.
Eleven quarterbacks were taken
on the second day.
The draft wound up at 5 p.m.
EDT after a total of 16 hours, 44
minutes over two days, the second
fastest draft since the merger of the
AFL and NFL in 1967. The fastest
was 16:19 in 1981.
McPherson, a 6-foot, 182-
pounder with 4.4 speed in the 40-
yard dash, might have been taken
several rounds higher had he opted
to play wide receiver or defensive
back.
He would be more likely to fit into
the Philadelphia style than that of
other teams. The Eagles’ starter,
Randall Cunningham, is a
scrambler. McPherson plays the
same way, although he is four inches
shorter, 35 pounds lighter and lacks
Cunningham’s arm strength.
“I’m not disappointed one bit. I
knew going into the draft that I
wouldn’t go in the first couple of
rounds because I wanted to go as a
quarterback,” said McPherson, who
said Eagles Coach Buddy Ryan
“made it dear to me that he likes me
as a quarterback and only that.
“To have the opportunity to play
quarterback is what I’m after.”
Cunningham and McPherson
would also give the Eagles two black
quarterbacks, the second time in
NFL history that has happened. In
1984, Houston had Warren Moon
and Brian Ransom on their active
roster.
Two picks after McPherson, Dal
las took another quarterback, Scott
Secules of Virginia. And later in the
sixth round, Washington took Stan
Humphries, a quarterback from
Northeast Louisiana.
It was the Redskins’ interest in
Humphries that fueled rumors the
Super bowl champs might be willing
to deal Jay Schroeder, the backup to
Doug Williams. But Humphries is
considered a project who will take
several years to develop.
Two more quarterbacks went dur
ing the seventn round — Mike Perez
of San Jose State to the New York
Giants and Kerwin Bell of Florida to
Miami. Both had been rated much
higher before subpar senior seasons,
particularly Perez, who is considered
a tough-guy kind of leader and once
had a roughing-the-rusher penalty
called on him.
White added to strong
Oiler running attack
HOUSTON (AP) — The
Houston Oilers went into the
1988 NFL draft seeking de
fensive help but when their turn
came in the first round, it was
Michigan State running back Lo
renzo White who got the call.
Although the Oilers already
were deep at the running back
position. General Manager Ladd
Herzeg fell back on the old “ best
athlete available" cliche.
While was a tireless runner for
the Rose Bowl champion Spar
tans last season, carrying a Big 10
Conference record 56 times in a
conference clinching victory over
Indiana.
But White won’t help the Oiler
defense, which dropped to 17th
overall among the 26 NFL teams
last season.
“He will allow us to move
Spencer Tillman to fullback,”
Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville said.
“We draft by categories and we
don’t drop down in category just
to try to fill a need,” Oiler Gen
eral Manager Ladd Herzeg said.
The Oilers had a solid back-
field starting combination of
Mike Rozier and Alonzo Highs-
mith last season and they are ex
pected to be the starters again this
season.
It could have been the Oilers
were looking for security at the
position.
Rozier, who had his best NFL
season for the Oilers, twice was
tardy for workouts and admitted
to an alcohol problem.
Highsmith, the Oilers’ No. 1
draft pick last year, has under
gone two arthroscopic knee oper
ations since last season.
White will have to find a spot
on the Oiler roster that already
includes running backs Allen Pin-
kett, Tillman and Ray Wallace.
“He’s not that great breakaway
back,” Oilers personnel director
Mike Holovak said. “But maybe
used less often, we’ll get that out
of him too.
"You’re going to see one hel
luva football player.”
Rozier likely would have gotten
his first 1,060-yard rushing sea
son in the NFL had it not been
for the NFL. player strike.
He gained 957 yards in 13
S fames and gained his first Pro
iowl trip, finishing third in the
AFC and fourth in the NFL in
rushing. He had five 100-yard
games.
Highsmith, a late signee be
cause of a long contract fight with
Herzeg, didn’t play until the
eighth game last season and
didn’t start until Dec. 13 against
New Orleans.
Highsmith had 109 rushing
yards on 29 carries last season but
promised he’d return this season
and be ‘hell on wheels.”
The Oilers did not ignore their
defensive needs in the draft.
They chose Pittsburgh cor-
nerback Quintin Jones, 5-11,193
in the second round and after
taking Michigan State punter
Greg Montgomery in the second
round, they added defensive
players with later picks.
