They Are probed and picked Al by the scouts twisted and turned every which Way. Like so Many Laboratory specimens. Then the flowing a cons Are delivered  clubs. Great hands. Great Speed. Great Prospect. But that s All they Are prospects. And some limes great expectations Lurn into sour reality. Ii happened More than once in the 80s and it will happen again sunday when inc nil conducts its annual draft. The trick for each of the 28 clubs Islo make sure in does t happen Boihem. The Specter of washout picks hangs Over the clubs like a bad dream. You feel sorry for inc other Guy when a pick goes South bul at the same Lime you re grateful that in did t happen to you. Person blacklist and people still talk Abbul the great quarterback draft of 1983, when the clubs found a bumper crop of signal callers wailing for them. The firs one logo the no. 1 pick in that draft was John Elway of Stanford. No miss there. Five non quarterback picks later in was Kansas City s Lurn the chiefs used the seventh Choice in the draft to select passer Todd Blackledge of pc state. To say that selection did t quite work out would be Well putting in mildly by picking Blackledge pc left behind Jim Kelly scooped up by Buffalo Ken o Brien taken by the new York jets Tony Eason chosen by new England and perhaps most significantly Dan Marino who went 10 Miami. Elway Eason and Marino have taken their teams Looie super bowl Kelly had the Bills in the acc championship game last season. O Brien remains the jets starter. After five disappointing years in Kansas cily Blackledge was dispatched to. Pittsburgh where he remains a backup to Bubby Brisick a less heralded 1986 third round Choice of inc a Peclers. There Are other examples. In 1981, new Orleans turned to the wrong Caro Lina for the draft s no. 1 pick Wilh North Carolina linebacker Lawrence Taylor on the Board in saints went instead to South Carolina for running Back George Rogers. Rogers won a Rushing Lilly but played just four year with new Orleans before being traded to Washington and then def Tingkui of , drafted by the new York Gianti.

He reported late to training Camp and left Early traded by the disappointed Broncos to new Orleans for Shawn Knight another failed no. I. This year the Broncos decided id take no chances and like most other learns got up close and personal examinations and evaluations of their draft candidates sometimes you reach for something that s not there Brandl said. You pass on a better player to fill n need and you can gel burned. We be done the same thing.". Which May explain Why the cowboys have the no. I pick sunday. The draft is now a High tech operation that Brandt compares Wilh the Aine rence Between Fly ing dc3s and convirs Wilh 747s." in the old Days teams used football Magaz Muto make i hair picks he said. Sometimes a team s turn would come up and the Guy doing the drafting would leave the room and Call Pappy Lewis at West Virginia to Sec who he recommended thai was a simpler time in Fob Balland it some limes led to  d draft an offensive linemen you thought was 6-foot-3," Brandl said Only to discover he was realty 5-11 a times have changed. Bul Iacre Are still no Gua Rah tics in this risky business. Evaluation is harder today than it used to be. Steroids have distorted Vhal a player looks like. Often agents won t let them come in and work  then there is the Mailer of one Man s opinion against another a in any walk of Tifi you la have people who Dis agree Brandt said. Some people like redheads. Some people like blondes. Some people want to live in Boz Cmari Mon some people want 10 live  so it follows that some people will like that quarterback and sonic people won t. You have Quality people looking Al the same things and seeing them differently. It does t Hap pen with a Troy Aikman  Mandarich Aik Man already has been signed by the cowboys As la no. I pick and Mandanah is the Lully no. 2 pick sunday. Bul in happens Taler in the first round and Down from there. One Seoul will say 1 Hal Guy s a pro bowl player and another will say. Nope hell never make in so who s right that s the guessing game that makes inc draft something of a cat shool. And All the teams a. Proach in warily hoping 10 a old Snake eyes
