Vick first, then a draft for defensive
beef NEW YORK (AP)
— NFL teams did in Saturday's draft what they often do: emulate
the champions.
Saturday, April 21, 2001 --
High-profile QBs lead off first two rounds
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael
Vick and Drew Brees were the two highest-rated quarterbacks available
in this year's NFL draft. And they both went at the beginning
of rounds.
Friday, April 20, 2001 -- Does Vick signing scenario cloud draft? NEW YORK (AP) — If you listen to
the San Diego Chargers, the clock already is running on the NFL
draft.
Friday, April 20, 2001 -- Texans conducting mock draft for practice HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans'
choice in the first round of Saturday's NFL draft is: Michael
Vick.
Friday, April 20, 2001 -- Cowboys own eight picks, none in first round
IRVING, Texas (AP)

Cowboys are rebuilding. They probably haven't hit bottom yet.
Thursday, April 19, 2001 --
Draft thumbnails of top players by position NEW YORK (AP) — Top offensive players
in this weekend's NFL draft, grouped by projected NFL positions.
Thursday, April 19, 2001 --
Terrell the catch of the day By the time David Terrell had learned
to play both cornerback and receiver at Michigan, he thought of
himself as the next Deion Sanders. In 1999, he was playing a little
of both. He had one interception, and he also had rushed five
times for 89 yards.
Thursday, April 19, 2001 --
Understanding the syntax of the NFL draft At this very moment the NFL stock of
some poor, unsuspecting Sapp, as in Warren, is plunging like a
dot.com venture.
Thursday, April 19, 2001 --
Baylor's Baxter hopes scouts look beyond
Bears woeful record
WACO (AP) — These are the days Gary Baxter played for. After
winning just seven games in a four-year career at Baylor, this

on scouts' ability to recognize a great player on a bad team.

Scouting the draft: Offensive backfield
Thursday, April 19, 2001 --
N.C. State's Robinson projected in top 10 Koren Robinson figures to be a big fish
in the NFL draft pool on Saturday. If so, the former N.C. State
wide receiver wants to own one soon thereafter. A dolphin, that
is.
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Capsules of the NFL Draft NEW YORK (AP) — The 31 teams in
Saturday's NFL draft (in order of selection)
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Brees has it all, except for the height Only four quarterbacks in NCAA history
have thrown more passes, completed more passes and accounted for
more offense than Drew Brees.
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Florida's Warren is everything NFL wants
in a defensive tackle
The only position that rivals defensive tackle for talent and
depth in this weekend's NFL draft is wide receiver. Do not be
surprised if more tackles are selected in the first round.
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Top Dawg now draft underdog KIRKLAND, Wash. -- What did Marques Tuiasosopo
ever do to deserve this? Last year, the undaunted quarterback
led Washington to eight come-from-behind victories and only the
fourth Top 5 ranking in school history.
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Tomlinson ready to live out NFL draft dreams FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — As a kid,
LaDainian Tomlinson watched the NFL draft every year and imagined
being part of it.
Wednesday, April 18, 2001 --
Vick to Chargers with first pick, guess
the rest Two years
ago, Mike Ditka surrendered the Saints' entire draft for the right
to pick Ricky Williams. The Saints survived; Ditka didn't.

Scouting the draft: Defensive backs
and Linebackers
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
Trash-talking Smoot ready for early draft
appearance There are
the NFL Draft measurables — height, weight, speed. Then there
is the unquantifiable.
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
Davis, Walker, Michigan trio cream of offensive
line crop The two
best offensive linemen in this weekend's NFL draft are tackles
Leonard Davis and Kenyatta Walker, but no scout can recall a year
when one school had a realistic chance to have a trio of offensive
linemen selected in the first round.
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
UTEP TE Natkin awaiting NFL draft EL PASO, Texas (AP) — In 1997, Texas-El
Paso tight end Brian Natkin was undersized, underweight and playing
for an offense that relied mostly on the run.
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
Draft preview: The defensive line And the meat shall inherit the earth.
Or at least the first-round of the NFL draft. Never before has
the league seen what figures to be the draft-day influx of talented
defensive tackles — all 300-pound-plus slabs of beef —
that it will see in the first round of its April stock show. ALSO:
Scouting the draft: Defensive line
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
Dungy's philosophy: Best available player TAMPA — All the draftniks working
for the alphabet cartel of dot.coms — ESPN, CNN/SI, CBS and
FOX — are in agreement — the Bucs will draft Michigan
offensive tackle Jeff Backus with the 21st overall pick.
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
49ers' Resolution No. 9: Draft is a big
opportunity SAN FRANCISCO
— More than ever, the NFL Draft defines or destroys teams
and dreams. Everyone wants an explosive running back, an impact
pass rusher or a 15year starter on the offensive line.
Tuesday, April 17, 2001 --
Raiders' draft hard to figure Handicap the Raiders' draft possibilities
at your own risk. The needs seem pretty obvious, tight end and
safety, but be careful. Two years ago one position the Raiders
seemed to have set was left tackle. Mo Collins, a first round
pick in '98, had completed his rookie year in satisfactory fashion.
Monday, April 16, 2001 -- Brees says he'll make NFL grade Five days before the NFL draft, Purdue
quarterback Drew Brees has a feeling similar to the one he experienced
after his last season at Austin Westlake High School.
Monday, April 16, 2001 -- Texas' Davis a big
draw in the NFL draft
AUSTIN (AP) — Amy Bazadier can't help but laugh. There she
was, in the tiny town of Wortham (pop. about 1,000), driving possibly
the biggest man in Texas to a mailbox.
Sunday, April 15, 2001 -- Grading the NFL draft? Wait a few years NEW YORK (AP) — Rick Mirer was the
second player taken in the 1993 NFL draft, right after Drew Bledsoe.
Way down the line, off the predraft radar screen, came Mark Brunell,
Elvis Grbac and Trent Green. Those three ended up being far more
successful than Mirer — and became a perfect example of why
predicting and instantly grading drafts is about as accurate as
Internet polls.
Sunday, April 15, 2001 -- Texas
A&M-Kingsville's Chase hopes road from prison leads to NFL
When Jeff Chase showed up on the Texas A&M-Kingsville campus
three years ago, his coaches knew only part of his story. They
knew he had come from a broken home in Southern California. They
knew there had been some kind of trouble. And they knew he was
looking for a new start.
