And even though she knew her son, Purdue defensive end Ryan Kerrigan, was as prepared as possible, there was still nothing to do but sit and stare at the phone. Kerrigan was picked 16th overall by the Washington Redskins. Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley's sister, Greta King, flew to New York from Mobile to be there for her brother. She had to wait with him while three defensive linemen were taken before the Detroit Lions finally selected Fairley with the 13th |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is talking a whole lot more about trading down than about trading up. The Redskins have the No. 10 overall selection in the NFL draft that starts Thursday and have lots of holes to fill. That makes it a believable proposition that Shanahan will want to move down to acquire more picks. Even if he wanted to move up, the coach wouldn't have much to offer because his team doesn't have any selections between Rounds 2 and 5. Still, Shanahan didn't rule |

WASHINGTON (AP) - When Mike Shanahan started listing the holes in the Washington Redskins roster, it took him a while to finish. ``We can have help on the offensive line,'' Shanahan said. ``We need some depth at wide receiver. The quarterback situation as well. You're always looking for that young guy possibly being a franchise guy. ``On defense, our interior defensive front, switching over to a 3-4, and also a linebacker position as well. So we've got a number of directions we can go.'' Lots of ways to g |
