Super Bowl or not, this pick puts the Bengals in the right direction. Donovan McNabb The Philadelphia Eagles se lected McNabb with the second overall pick in the draft. Head coach Andy Reid had McNabb rated as the top quarterback in the draft. Eagles fans booed this pick when it was made, but the Eagles front office sees McNabb as a young Brett Favre. McNabb is mobile and strong armed like Favre, but McNabb will have the most work to do of the three quarterbacks selected with the top three picks, especially if he his to live up to the Brett Favre image placed on his shoulders. Daunte Culpepper The Minnesota Vikings selected Culpepper with the number 11 overall pick in the draft. He gives the Vikings their quarterback of the future. Culpepper has the best situ ation of any of the top five quar terbacks selected. He has a veteran quarterback in Randall Cunnigham, who can mentor him until he’s ready to play, and already has an offense loaded with talent, includ ing last year's Rookie of the Year Randy Moss. Culpepper will be third on the depth chart this year, behind Cunningham and Jeff George. He is expected to be the starter when Cunningham retires, probably in three seasons or so. This time on the bench will allow him to learn the NFL game with going through the ups and downs a rookie normally goes through, much like what occurred with Former Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson, now with the Redskins. Champ Bailey The Washington Redskins re ally won out with this pick. They traded their original number five se lection to the Saints for 8 draft picks, all of the Saints selections this year, plus a first and third rounder next season. Then they traded their newly-acquired num ber 12 selection, plus a third and fourth rounder this year and a third rounder in next year's draft to the Bears for the seventh pick. They used the seventh selection on Champ Bailey out of Georgia. Bailey was the player Washington originally wanted at number five. He gives the Redskins an immedi ate force in the secondary, much like Charles Woodson did with the Raiders last season. He will start alongside Darrell Green at cornerback. Washington released last year’s starter, Chris Dishman, within hours of taking Bailey, to clear the path for Bailey and to save salary cap money. Bailey is already considered a front run ner for Defensive Rookie of the year next season. Chris Claiborne Detroit selected Claiborne with the ninth overall selection. The Lions were choosing between Claiborne and 6’7", 388 lb. tackle Aaron Gibson out of Wisconsin. The Lions went with Claiborne at number nine, and lucked out when Gibson was still available later in the first round at the 27th pick. Detroit then traded its sec ond rounder (39,), third rounder (70) and its fifth rounder (142) to Miami for the 27th selection, which they used on Gibson. Claiborne, a middle linebacker at USC, will start this season for Detroit at weakside linebacker. Claiborne provides Detroit with a instinctive player who is good in pass coverage, something that has been missing since Reggie Brown had his career ending neck injury two years ago. Gibson, whose specialty at Wis consin was run blocking, will pro vide Detroit with a sorely needed blocker up front for Barry Sand ers. These picks should help Detroit out immensely in the long run. Duel: Robertson moves to #2 in conference Continued from page 7 downed the Cougars 101-63. Sarah Robertson won the 100m dash in 13.05. "Sarah moves to the #2 spot in the conference in the 100m," noted Kegg. "She ran incredibly tough. She looked real good." Robertson also won the 200m race in 27.22 seconds. Loma Defreest took first place in the shot put [37'8"], while Stephanie Costanza [11:15.87] and Emily Schmierer [12:41.22] finished one, two in the 3000m. Trina Rogers won the javelin event with a throw of 135' 1".
