European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 20, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Dallas steers saturday april 20, 1991 the stars and stripes Page 27 new York a Raghib a a rocket Ismail is All but certain to be the no. 1 pick in sundays nil draft. The Only question is who wants him new England has the first pick but the patriots 1-15 last season would rather Trade Down and fill in some of their numerous holes. Most of Ismail a feats at notre Dame were As a kick returner and some scouts question his durability at 175 pounds and his hands As a pass receiver. Overall he is considered a player who would have a greater Impact with a winning team than with new England. But the patriots Are having trouble finding anyone to meet their Price. Dallas was a possible suitor but cowboys owner Jerry Jones said thursday night that his team has no plans to acquire the no. 1 pick after the patriots apparently wanted More than Dallas was willing to give. Atlanta which has the third and 13th picks also has expressed interest and i Sam Jankovich the patriots chief executive officer says two other clubs also have shown interest. / a this will probably move rather rapidly within the next Day or two and some very hard decisions Are going to have to be made a a he said thursday. Nil draft Falcons vice president Ken Herrock said he s not desperate to get Ismail. I m not going to be forced into making a Deal that 1 done to have to do a he said. This Isnit a life and death thing for our  that a Why general managers who pick later in the draft like buffaloes Bill Polian Are Happy to be picking where they do. A a a. A a we done to have any glaring weaknesses and this is a draft for teams that done to have glaring weaknesses a says Polian whose team picks next to last. A if you re looking for someone to come in and turn you around right away that a another  like Ismail most of the other High first round picks have at least one question Mark. _ one of the top defensive line prospects is Eric Swann who has played Only Semi pro football. He probably will be the first player without College experience taken in the draft since Emil Sitko was picked by the rams in 1946, the year they moved from Cleveland to los Angeles. Sitko who had played football in the Navy skipped the rams to Star at notre Dame. He then played for the Chicago cardinals in 1951 and �?T52. But the questions go far beyond Swann. The consensus is that the rest of the draft is filled with players who would be in the Bottom half of the first round in most years a in part because of the eight underclassmen who were taken in the first round last year. Two juniors Mark Carrier of the Chicago bears and Emmitt Smith of the cowboys became rookies of the year. Jeff George of the Indianapolis Colts Rodney Hampton of the new York giants and Rob Moore of the new York jets All flashed the potential of future stars. This years other top players All have a rap against them perhaps because of the lengthy pre draft analysis to which they Are subjected they Are either too Light Ismail 265-Pound Miami defensive tackle Russell Maryland 175-Pound notre Dame cornerback Todd Lyght too Short notre Dames 5-foot-11 nose tackle Chris Zorich a Quarter step too slow Iowa running Back Nick Bell not Mobile enough san Diego state quarterback Dan Mcgwire too inexperienced Swann have less than thrilling work habits Tennessee tackle Antone Davis or off Field problems Southern Cal quarterback Racket Todd Marinovich a i hear that every year a says agent Leigh Steinberg whose clients include Maryland and Mcgwire. A yet every draft produces All pros or surprises who go lower than they should. I done to  any difference in the  who else is Good Lyght Croel Maryland and Davis should All be in the top 10, along with Davis Bookend tackle at Tennessee Charles Mccrae. Swann might fit in there if someone is willing to take a Chance. The draft is deepest in receivers led by Ismail but followed by Miami a Randal Hill Virginia Sherman Moore and Jen Nesseck Salvin Harper. Brett i a avre of Southern Mississippi is considered the Best quarterback pros elect followed by Mcgwire Louisville a rowning Nagle and perhaps Marinovich who has played Only two College seasons and is undergoing rehabilitation after being arrested after the season on drug charges. But its probably As Polian notes better for the teams that pick later. A a it a a trickle Down draft a says George Young of the giants who pick last in the first round.
