Penn States Carter #1 pick in mock draft
□ Offensive linemen
dominate picks in
imaginary draft.
(AP) — 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 expan
sion 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 quar
terback who can take the team
to the Super Bowl in 2005,
around the time Carter is pack
ing 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, who could learn while
Frank Reich takes the beating.
That’s what they really want to
do in their first draft — obtain a
building block for the franchise.
If nobody gives them extra
picks that will take the running
back off their hands, the Pan
thers are set to go with Carter.
1, CAROLINA: The Panthers
want this to be a showcase
draft. The showcase player is
KI-JANA CARTER, RB, Penn
State, who’s the first pick, no
matter who has it.
2, JACKSONVILLE: The
Jaguars could make it Carter-
Carter by taking Florida’s
Kevin, a defensive end. And
maybe it’s a smokescreen that
they’re giving out all those sig
nals about the guy dubbed the
next Anthony Munoz. The sig
nals are real. TONY BOSELLI,
0T, Southern Cal.
3, HOUSTON: Floyd Reese,
the general manager, loves Steve
McNair. Coach Jeff Fisher wants
defense. Long Term: STEVE Mc-
NAIR, QB, Alcorn State.
4, WASHINGTON: The Red
skins have their quarterback. If
they go up, they take Ki-Jana. If
Charlotte is here, it takes Kerry
Collins. But if it’s Washington, it’s
KEVIN CARTER, DE, Florida.
5, CINCINNATI: They
thought they might make Boselli
the next Munoz. They give Dan
Wilkinson a sidekick whose mo
tor runs all the time. WARREN
SAPP, DT, Miami.
6, ST. LOUIS: Now that the
Rams are out of Los
Angeles, they can
stop the home
town picks. So
they bypass J.J.
Stokes and take
KERRY
COLLINS, QB,
Penn State. They
still need some
one to catch the
ball. That is, of
course, if Caroli
na doesn’t deal
with Washington.
7, TAMPA
BAY: How can a
team mess up so
many high picks?
The new owners
may change the team’s luck al
though 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’d probably be No. 1.
8, SEATTLE: They have Rick
Mirer to throw and no one to
catch. Now they do —MICHAEL
WESTBROOK, WR, Colorado.
9, NEW YORK JETS: New
York’s draftniks want McNair.
He won’t be there and J.J.
Stokes might be the next A1
Toon. But they take LUTHER
ELLISS, DL, Utah.
10, CLEVELAND: Got this
pick by dumping Eric Metcalf and
his salary on Atlanta. Browns use
it for the tight end they haven’t
had since Ozzie Newsome, KYLE
BRADY, TE, Penn State.
11, MINNESOTA: Why trade
up for a running back when TY
RONE WHEATLEY, RB, Michi
gan, is there?
12, PHILADELPHIA: Used to
have pass rushers. Eagles go for
another in DERRICK ALEXAN
DER, DE, Florida State.
13. NEW ORLEANS: Things
have changed in New Orleans,
where a good defense has gone
sour and a dead offense has re
vived. ELLIS JOHNSON, DT,
Florida, figures to plug the
middle.
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. INDI
ANAPOLIS: An
other piece of the
offensive puzzle
to augment Mar
shall Faulk.
JOEY GAL
LOWAY, WR,
Ohio State.
16. ARIZONA:
Buddy Ryan
could take pass
rusher Hugh
Douglas, his kind
of guy — “Loses his
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. .
17. NEW YORK GIANTS:
George Young’s favorite phrase
is “Save The Whales.” This
year’s whale is 305-pound
REUBEN BROWN, OL, Pitt.
18. LOS ANGELES: A1 Davis
sometimes picks guys nobody’s
heard of. JIMMY HITCHCOCK,
CB, North Carolina 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 grab him.
20. DETROIT: Remember
Barry Sanders gaining minus-1
yard in 13 carries. That’s why
they’ll take BARRETT
BROOKS, OT, Kansas State.
21. CHICAGO: Need speed
and RASHAAN SALAAM, RB,
Colorado, is faster than Lewis
Tillman.
22. GREEN BAY: Need help
at cornerback and linebacker.
HUGH DOUGLAS, DE-LB, Cen
tral State, is the pass rusher to
take Bryce Paup’s place.
23. NEW ENGLAND: Like
Buddy Ryan, Bill Parcells will
never pass up a defensive player
for offense unless the offensive
guy’s name is Drew Bledsoe.
ANTHONY COOK, DT, played
at South Carolina State.
24. MINNESOTA: Vikings
think a running back can put
them over the top. But MARK
FIELDS, LB, Washington, can
plug holes.
25. MIAMI: 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.
27. PITTSBURGH: The run
on offensive tackles continues
with BLAKE BROCKERMEY-
ER, OT, Texas.
28. DALLAS: This is a team
with no holes among the
starters, but a lot of depth prob
lems. The worst are on the of
fensive line. BILLY MILNER,
OT, Houston.
29. SAN DIEGO: Any more
OTs out there? Try LORENZO
STYLES, LB, Ohio State, who
gives Junior Seau a playmate.
30. SAN FRANCISCO: Could
trade up or down. If they don’t,
they have to find a runner like
JAMES “Little Man” STEW
ART, RB, Tennessee, 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: Need to build
up front. CORY RAYMER, C,
Wisconsin, may not be the great
est physical specimen, but he’s
got the savvy to be a F*ro Bowler.
