Page 10-The Michigan Daily-Monday, April 18, 1988 THE SPORTING VIEWS Close the window... ...a draft is com ing * Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON Former Michigan tailback Jamie Morris, as his finger points out, could be drafted in the first round. Ti ers overcome KC, Brett taters, win 8-6 By DAVID HYMAN The NFL 1988 schedule does not begin for another six months, but the football season will be starting this upcoming weekend in New York. On Sunday, (ESPN 12:00), the NFL draft will take place. Like many other sport magazines, here is a list of the first round draft selections: -ATLANTA-Fairly obvious. The Falcons have already signed Auburn linebacker Aundray Bruce to a five-year deal. -DETROIT-The Lions need help all over, but Miami's (Fla.) safety and bruiser Bennie Blades is too good to pass up. -KANSAS CITY-The Chiefs need defen- sive line help. Nebraska's Neil Smith, a 6' 4" 261-pound defensive lineman is big and can run a 4.46 in the 40-yard dash. -TAMPA BAY- With quarterback Vinny Testaverde, all the Bucs need is someone who can run and catch his tosses. South Carolina's Ster- ling Sharpe fits that billing. -CINCINNATI-Boomer Esiason can throw the ball but the Bengals have no one to run with it. Lorenzo White from MSU can run and run and run. -LA RAIDERS-The Raiders don't have a quarterback and after the draft, they still won't. Receivers are ubiquitous this year and Heisman winner Tim Brown from Notre Dame can catch, run and return kicks. -GREEN BAY-Jim McMahon has peti- tioned the league that the 'Pack' get some new linemen after Charles Martin's bodyslam two years ago. Illinois' Scott Davis, at 6' 6", can only help. -NEW YORK JETS-Quarterback Ken O'Brien may have been the highest rated passer two years ago, but will not be playing much more if he continues to be found on the ground. The Jets offensive line has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Wisconsin's lineman Paul Gruber will help this depleted offensive line and protect O'Brien. -HOUSTON-The Oilers made the playoffs last year and showed they still need help on de- fense, as it wins championships. Miami, (Fla.) defensive end Daniel Stubbs is a winner and loves to sack the quarterback. -NEW YORK GIANTS-Despite suffer- ing from a losing season after a Super Bowl vic- tory two years ago, this team still has a solid nucleus. Offensive linemen were the problem last year due to injuries. Paul Cadigan from USC will open up holes for potent runner Joe Morris. -DALLAS-Dallas needs quarterbacks, but there are no stars here. Instead, Michigan's John 'Jumbo' Elliot will provide the blocks that spring Herschel Walker loose and into the open. -PHOENIX-This team played in St. Louis last year if you didn't know. Stanford's fullback Brad Muster is big, can run, catch and block. This guy is good. Don't be surprised if he is drafted earlier, possibly by the Giants. -PHILADELPHIA-Head coach Buddy Ryan's first love is defense. Ohio State's linebacker Chris Spielman fulfills Ryan's model of an aggressive, strong defender. -LA RAMS-After trading away their whole offense last year (Eric Dickerson), the Rams need a running back. Pittsburgh's Craig Heyward, a fullback, built like a Mack truck at 260 pounds, can bust loose. -SAN DIEGO-Ricky Dixon, a cornerback out of Oklahoma, will be a starter for this weak Charger defense. How did he go this late? -MIAMI-The offense is fine, but the Dol- phin defense needs help. Syracuse's lineman Ted Gregory performed well at the combined work- outs and will help Don Shula's depleted team. -NEW ENGLAND-It doesn't matter who owns this team, the Pats still need running backs. UCLA's Gaston Green (4.29 in the 40) will help take some of the workload off of Craig James. -PITTSBURGH-Now that the Steelers have a quarterback in Todd Blackledge, just add Miami's (Fla.) receiver Michael Irvin to Louis Lipps and you've got the next Swann and Stall- worth. -MINNESOTA-Cornerback Terrence Mc- Daniel from Tennessee will help this team that also made it to the Super Bowl last season. -LA RAMS-Another pick in the first round. This is what happens when you trade Dickerson. LSU's wideout Wendell Davis will 1 fly under Jim Everret's bombs, but will not do his dance in the end zone. -HOUSTON-They still need defense and Purdue's linebacker Fred Strickland was impres- sive playing in the Big Ten. -CLEVELAND-Ozzie Newsome is not getting old, but already is old. Oklahoma tight end Keith Jackson could be a steal this late. -CHICAGO-Clifford Charlton, a linebacker from the University of Florida, will fit in nicely where former Gator Wilbur Marshall left. -NEW ORLEANS-Running back Ruben Mayes suffered a serious ligament injury and will not run like he has. John Stephens out of NW Louisiana St. with 4.4 speed is home grown and will be a star. -SAN FRANCISCO-Their linebacking corps is weak. Unable to snatch Marshall, the Niners will take Oklahoma's Dante Jones unless they can grab Carl Banks from the Giants, somehow. -DENVER-After losing the last two Super Bowls because of no running game, Michigan's Jamie Morris will fit in well. He is small but can run as well as catch. -BUFFALO-Plenty of talent will be available at the No. 40 spot. Miami (Fla.) run- ning back Melvin Bratton, who would have gone higher if not for his knee injury in the Orange Bowl, might be around for the Bills. -SEATTLE-Picking 49th, the Seahawks will be able to use this pick on a quarterback. Florida's Kerwin Bell is big and can go deep. -WASHINGTON-Defensive lineman Hawaii's Al Noga will fill in for the aging Dave Butz, that is if Noga is still available. The Red- skins, picking 54th,,.hope that Noga is around to perform his tribal sack-dance next to Dexter Manley. -INDIANAPOLIS-This is what happens when you trade to get Dickerson. Picking 76th, the next available athlete will help., Arizona safety Chuck Cecil will help the Colt defense. DETROIT (AP) - Tiger out- fielder Chet Lemon extended his hit- ting streak to all 10 Detroit games, driving in two runs and scoring twice, in leading the Tigers to an 8-6 L victory yesterday over the Kansas City Royals. "Right field is less demanding," said Lemon, who made the switch after the Tigers acquired Gary Pettis in an off-season trade. "It lends itself to letting you concentrate on hit- ting." Jeff Robinson, 1-1, allowed three runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. Three of the four hits off him were solo homers, two by George Brett and one by Jamie Quirk. Brett also drove in a run in the eighth with a single and had three RBI. Don Heinkel, Willie Hernandez and Mike Henneman finished up for Robinson. Henneman worked the fi- nal 1 1/3 innings for his fourth save. Detroit scored three runs in the second to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Matt Nokes and Jim Morrison singled in the second, moved up on a bunt by Pat Sheridan and scored on Lemon's single. Gary Pettis singled Lemon home. Brett's fourth inning home run cleared the roof in right field, the first ball out of Tiger stadium since Kirk Gibson did so on September 10, 1986. His seventh inning blast bounced off a pillar in the second deck in right. Rent a Car from Econo,-Car OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ___ r ._. _ '"; .." y _ .......................................... '" 0 !
