| Show t“ tiTip lufTTiT IK BVVI V The Salt Lake Tribune Friday June 12 1987 P7 Bosworth Could Be Booby Prize or Bonus in Friday’s Draft By Dave Goldberg AP Football Writer NEW YORK — Brian Bosworth the outspoken linebacker who Insists he will play for Just five of the NFL's 28 teams will be the principal prize Friday when the NFL holds draft Its lottery-styl- e supplemental Bosworth who probably would have been one of the top three picks in the regular draft bypassed it because he did not want to be chosen by the Indianapolis Colts or Buffalo Bills who were ready to take him He had that option because he still has a year of football eligibility remaining even though he has graduated from tho University of Oklahoma and had signed with an agent making him ineligible to play He enters Friday’s draft having written letters to all 28 teams declaring that he will play only for five — the New York Jets or Giants the Los Angeles Rams or Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles His field is based on Bosworth's desire to play for a good team in a major market or — In Philadelphia's case — his feeling he would star immediately as the middle linebacker in Coach Buddy Ryan’s "46" defense Those five hold 43 of the 406 team logo tags that will be drawn from a drum to decide who gets the first pick In the draft meaning Bosworth has one chance in 944 to be assured of being chosen by a team he wants "Everybody’s a longshot" concedes his agent Gary Wichard "This Is Russian roulette This Is the lottery system” But there are indications that nothing is written in stone For example Bosworth told the Orlando Sentinel Thursday he would be willing to play for Tampa Bay which has 28 lo tags in the lottery “People have speculated for months that all Brian Bosworth wants to do is go play for a winning team or one that is already established" Bosworth told the Sentinel "That's not true I want to play for a team that to me possesses a challenge I've sat down and looked at it Tampa poses that challenge" And on the opposite side of the spectrum Bosworth’s father told Newsday that he might not be too enthusiastic about the Giants because they might suffer a letdown after their Super Bowl victory To which Tom Boisture the New York team's director of personnel responded: "We'd love to have him He'd be a damn good backup” The system to be used is one adopted because of the way quarterback Bemie Kosar was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1984 In the past the supplemental draft order was the same as the regular draft and the Browns for whom Kosar wanted to play traded with the Buffalo Bills who had the first pick to insure they would get him Under the new system the logos will be placed in a drum on a formula based on this year's draft order ranging from Tampa Bay’s 28 to one for the Giants Houston will have the most — its own and the Rams’ ob tained Jay Greenberg it might-make-- named Gerry Diduck Boston’s last good pick was the Leveillc in 1981 The high degree of risk thus noted it should be pointed out that the good teams seem to get lucky more often than the bad ones You can't judge drafts only by the No 1 picks espe- r Newspapers Having scoured the globe
