     European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 28, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 22 b the stars and stripes tuesday april 28, 1892 a m nil commissioner Paul Tagliabue third from left welcomes from left Vaughn Dunbar Sean Gilbert Chester Mcglockton Tommy Vardell and Troy Vincent to the nil on  Bills appear to be vulnerable by Mike Rabun new York up a the Impact of any National football league draft obviously cannot be determined until a certain amount of time has passed. But one Way to pre judge what a draft might mean Down the line is to look at the key players chosen and decide whether they will help make the difference in their team catching the teams who finished in front of them the year before. Using that criterion the initial feeling is that the Miami dolphins could Well gain ground on the Buffalo Bills next season and the Indianapolis Colts have made strides toward finally becoming a respectable team. But around the rest of the league 1992 could Well provide a lot of status quo. In the first place the Bills appear to be vulnerable. The of cd a representative in the super bowl the last two seasons will have to overcome the mental letdown of two consecutive losses in the big game. And As both the Denver Broncos and the Washington redskins showed in the Post season last year the Bills can fade when pressure is put on their offence. Two teams in buffaloes division made Large strides sunday in coming up wit analysis players who can put pressure on the oppositions defense. The Indianapolis Colts obviously did the most damage since they had the first two picks and did themselves proud by drafting two High profile defensive players in Washington tackle Steve Emtman and Texas a amp a linebacker Quentin Coryatt. Indianapolis has a Long Way to go before it challenges for a playoff spot but the Colts have finally started in the right direction. Of More timely importance however was what the Miami dolphins did in the opening round of sundays draft. Miami always seems to need defensive help and if the dolphins Ever did put together a top flight defensive unit they could cause some True trouble. The dolphins Hope that will be the Case next season now that they have defensive Back Troy Vincent from Wisconsin and linebacker Marco Coleman from Georgia tech. Buffalo recognizing its problem in not being Able to keep the pass rushers off quarterback Jim Kelly went for a big offensive lineman in John Fina near the end of the first round of the draft. But Miami made bigger strides by far than Buffalo did. In the acc Central did any team improve itself enough to move past the Houston oilers probably not although Houston was shut out of the Early drafting. For Long Range significance the Cincinnati bengals made the most Hay since they now have a future pass catch combination in David Klingler and Carl Pickens plus an outstanding safety in Darryl Williams. But Cincinnati like Indianapolis still has a Way to go. In the parity Ridden acc West was it Denver Kansas City or the raiders who made a step up it certainly Wasny to Denver which could have drafted an excellent wide receiver with its first round pick but instead chose a quarterback Tommy Maddox who probably cannot Start in the nil. Kansas City and the raiders made equal moves on the defensive Side of the football and one of them will probably Edge past the Broncos next year. No one should expect the Washington redskins to be upset in the race for the pfc East title next year since they Are merely the defending super bowl Cham widow Ard pions and added Heisman trophy Ning wide receiver Desmond he sunday. The redskins will continue to be formidable although the pfc East Only grew More powerful in the draft with Dallas adding four Quality players among the first 37 chosen sunday and because the new York giants came up with tight end Derek Brown of notre Dame a someone who can make a very Large Impact on a football game. Did the pfc Central become All that much stronger certainly not. This already weak division had Only one player picked among the top 21 and even though defensive Back Terrell Buckley the fifth player chosen will help the Green Bay packers it will take a lot More than him to get them into the playoffs. And will new Orleans division title of 1991 be repeated in the pfc West based on sundays draft the answer is a distinct maybe. Running Back Vaughn Dunbar from Indiana could be the steal of the first round and new Orleans got him with the 21st pick. The Atlanta Falcons made strides but if new Orleans is to be beaten in 1992, it will probably be by san Francisco and then Only because the 49ers were better in the first  slings surge Over monarchs 31 -26 from wire reports Wembley England David Archer threw for four touchdowns including three to Carl Parker As the Sacramento surge Defeated the London monarchs 31-26 sunday.
