With the free-agent signing of QB Doug Flutie, the Chargers can afford to take the raw, but enormously talented Vick who will most likely serve as the backup quarterback for the Chargers in 2001. The loss of Simeon Rice to free-agency makes the defensive line a priority for the Cardinals. Warren is the best defensive lineman in the draft. The Browns desperately need playmakers on offense, but good value at the RB and WR positions can be found later in the draft. The conservative Dan Reeves will want to draft defense with this pick, but the Falcons need a play-maker on offense and Terrell is the best receiver in the draft.
Questions still linger about an off-season foot injury.
The Patriots are still looking for a marquee replacement for RB Curtis Martin four years after he left for the Jets. Tomlinson has edged Mississippi's Deuce McAllister as the best back in the draft and he possesses a nice combo of speed and power that is necessary in the AFC East. Mike Holmgren has two picks in the first round and could take a wide receiver with the second pick instead. But Robinson's raw talent is hard to pass up, and he could be a nice complement to new QB Matt Hasselbeck. Bears fans are still having nightmares of the Curtis Enis bust so Chicago could go defense with this pick.
