Redskins maneuver for Arringt
Inesclav, April
Penn State linebacker looks to go early in Saturday’s NFli!i^ r€
NEW YORK (AP) — The Washing
ton Redskins have maneuvered their way
up in the NKL draft with one player in
mind — LaVar Arrington, this year’s
“next Lawrence Taylor.”
But the Skins’ best laid plans could go
awry with one sentence from commis
sioner PaulTagliabue: “With the first pick
in the 2000 NFL draft, the Cleveland
Browns (or New York Jets) select line
backer LaVar Arrington of Penn State.”
Sure, with the second and third picks
Washington can take Courtney
Brown, the other prime-time
enn State defender and Chris
Samuels, the Alabama lineman
who can be their left tackle for
years to come.
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

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
