Khosravi: Culpepper
in best situation
Continued from page 7
the Bengals to a Super Bowl in four
years.
“I want Cincinnati fans to know
that we’re on our way to a Super
Bowl in four years,” stated Ray
Smith.
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.

downed the Cougars 101-63.
