But Brown is a defensive end, of which Washington has plenty. Arrington adds the im pact linebacker the Redskins need to help 35-year-old own er Dan Snyder achieve a real Super Bowl to go along with the ones he won in his fantasy 1 for Arrington or Brown. “If someone came to us with four first-round picks, we’d have to do it,” Dwight Clark, Cleveland’s personnel chief, said last week, probably tipping his hand too soon. “If it were three, we’d have to think about it.” Brown and Arrington, who have sup planted Florida State w ide receiver Peter Warrick at the very top, visited the Browns together last week. “He looks like a great prospect. But the bus sta tion is filled with guys who were once compared Lawrence Taylor/' Bill Parcels Jets C.M. eagues. Thus the intrigue of draft week. It started in earnest Tuesday when the New York Jets agreed to send disgruntled wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson to Tam pa Bay for the Hues’ two first-round picks and either Bert Emmanuel or Reidel An thony. The deal will go forward if Johnson and the Bucs can agree on a contract before noon Saturday, when the draft starts. That would give New York, which al ready has two first-round choices, the 3th, 16th, ISth and 27th picks, perhaps enough to trade up w ith Cleveland to No. Cleveland was thought to be leaning toward Brown. But Clark came out of the meeting gushing about Arrington the same w ay he gushed about his buddy Joe Montana after making The Catch that w on the 1981 NFC title.
