By Dave Goldberg new York apr Michael Irwin and Keith Jackson two game breaking receivers lasted until the 11 in and 13th picks. A kicker was chosen before the first quarterback who was really a punter. The first Day of the 1988 nil draft on sunday was definitely one in which learns went for needs rather than cheer athletic skill. Wilh few exceptions in the five rounds which look 9 hours 28 minutes teams examined i hair holes then a Cal after players to fill them. That was particularly True of the stronger lean the Cleveland Browns Denver Broncos san Francisco 49crs, new Orleans saints new York giant and even the super bowl Champion Washington redskins. Typical was Miami s Choice of Ohio state s Eric Kumrow with the 16th pick in inc draft. Kumrow a 257-Pound defensive and line Bacter was generally rated a second Rounder or lower but he fit one of the dolphins desperate needs. We had 17 Sacic last year and the bears had 70 so we had to do some thing said Chuck Slud Lcy Miami s linebacker coach. I think he s going to be a great  while a record six wide receivers and five running backs went in the first round no quarterbacks were chosen and the first quarterback went lower than Ever before to All one pure quarterback was taken in sunday s 137 picks even though six teams desperately need play ers at that position. In fact the first quarterback taken was actually a punter Tom Tupa of Ohio stale by Phoenix. Me was chosen with the 69th pick primarily to kick he was the nil scouting Combine s Ullh rated quarterback and would probably be used As an emergency backup. When Indianapolis took Washington s Chris Chandler seven picks later inc quarterback drought was finally Over and a new record had been set. The lowest the first quarterback was taken previously was in 1974, when the cowboys used the 53rd pick on Danny White who is still their quarterback. The first round was typical of the search for needs. The tint eight picks Starling with a Burn linebacker aundray Bruce already signed by the Atlanta Falcons was predictable. Then the los Angeles raiders who had already taken Cisman trophy win Ner Tim Brown of Noire Dame with the sixth Choice used the ninth on Terry Mcdaniel a porn crack from Tennessee who was projected As a late first Early second Rounder he will be used As a Suc Cessor to the keystones of the raiders aging secondary comebacks Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes. Then the giants took 290-Pouml offensive tackle Eric Moore of Indiana Fol lowing 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 19s6. We thought we had to get big Guys in the first round because if we wait until next year hopefully Well be drafting lower. Giants general manager George Voun said. That left Irvin inc Miami wide receiver and one of the top athletes available to slip through to Dallas which needed just about everything particularly out Side 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 look Cali fornia linebacker Ken Harvey claiming they needed an outside Rushing Lineback Eric Kumerow taken by dolphins Chris Chandler. Firs Qto go it. If he works out Harvey would compensate for two previous draft disappointments at outside linebacker Freddie Joe Nunn the cardinals first pick in 1985, and Anthony Bell their first Choice in 1986. Thai permitted the eagles 10 gel Jack son. I Hinic the Guy s As line an athlete As is in the draft said Joe Woolcy the Philadelphia personnel director. And he s graduated. We did t gel a Dummy out of  but most of the Beller teams went for needs. The redskins whose first Nick was the last of the second round and Lii Over All look Chip Lohmiller a kicker from m Minnesota in Hopes of ending the erratic kicking game that has plagued them the but two years. Then they traded away three Lacr picks to move up in the third round to Lake another specialist kick returner Mike Oliphant of puget sound and set up a brother on brother confrontation when they used their fourth Rounder to Lake Jamie Morris of Michigan brother of Joe Morris a running Back for their main pfc last rival the giants. Cleveland Dep Crolly needing pass rushers went for Clifford Charlton b blitzing Florida linebacker on the first round then look defensive lineman Michael Dean Perry of Commin the brother of Chicago s William Perry. They decided on Charlton Over Lorenzo while of Michigan stale who would have augmented an already Strong running Back corps. Denver seeking to bulk up after being overwhelmed in two straight super bowls picket 270-Pound nose Lackly Ted Gregory of Syracuse with their first Choice despite his history of knee Trou Bles. With i hair second inc Broncos took Gerald Perry a 311-Pound Lackly from Southern University. New Orleans worried about the condition of Star running Back Kuchen Hayes knee look the Mammoth Craig Iron cad Heyward of Pittsburgh on the first round then went fur inc receiving Speed they need on Llic second round with Brent Ferriman of Miami of Florida san Francisco needing pass rushers traded Down and got two on inc second round Danny Lubbs of Miami and Pierce Holt of Angelo slate. They a satisfied a need Lor a receiver to the Trade which brought them Dokic Wil Liams from the raiders. And Buffalo with no first round pick took a calculated Gamble that could pay Oft when it chose on the second round Oklahoma stale s tit umm Thomas to till a Hale at running Back. Thomas would have been a first Rounder if not for knee problems. Of inc have not the Detroit Lions a team thai could use everything seemed to do Well picking up Miami safety Hermit Blades on the first round then gelling Ohio slate linebacker Chris Spielman and Flor Ida stale tight end pal Carter with two Early second Rounder choices. Like the Lions the needy learns tended to be less Picky about positions. After Atlanta selected Bruce and Kan Sas City and Detroit made their expected choices of Nebraska defensive end Neil Smith and Blades. Tampa Hay came through with the first Surprise. Needing everything but expected to take a wide receiver the bucs look inc hell offensive lineman Wisconsin tackle Paul Gruber even though coach general manager Ray Perkins has always maintained that offensive linemen can be taken lower. He s one of the Best big athletes i be Ever seen Perkins said of the 6-foot-6, 290-Pounder. He s so gifted he can come in and play. He represents both a need and b value. Wide receivers come along every  Gruber was followed by defensive Back Rickey Dixon of Oklahoma who went to the Cincinnati bengals and Brown. The raiders ended up with three picks on the round inc first team since Cincinnati in 1984 to have three first round ers. They made room for Brown by Trad ing Williams and filled two needs xviii Mcdaniel and defensive end Scott Davis of Illinois a Talent cd Bui temperamental Plover. Following Brown inc first round went this Way wide receiver Sterling Sharp of South Carolina to Green Bay offensive Lackly Dave Cadigan of Southern Cali fornia to the new York jets Mcdaniel to inc raiders Moore to the Tanu Irvin to the cowboys Harvey 10 the cardinals and Jackson to la eagles. Then the los Angeles rams who fwd four of their five picks in inc first two rounds for Pac-10 players a Cal for Urcla running Back gallon Green who was joined on inc second round by his College Ica male Willie Flipper an Derson a wide receiver. They were also need picks. Los Angeles look another receiver a Jon Cox of Arizona slate with its second first round pick
