Thrift, to hear the Chargers talk, is somewhat of a sleeper, a player whose name was absent from virtually all lis of potentially draftable players. "He's as fine a prospect as I've seen," said defensive coordinator Jackie Simpson. "I don't know how much of a sleeper he was. Fifteen clubs worked him out." Coryell said the Chargers had Floyd rated the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation, which would seem to make the team somewhat fortunate that he was still available on the fourth round.

"I think he will play special teams," said offensive coordinator Joe Gibbs, "and have the potential as a starting wide receiver." JACK VJilVuE LGAStnC DtV.

Ivery was the only name left. And again, they were simply assuming Winslow would not be available. However, in Cleveland, Tommy Prothro was playing a numbers game. He needed help in a number of areas, so he could accept the Chargers' first two picks players 20 and 47 at a cost of No.

13. "Tommy wanted defensive linemen," Coryell said. "There were two he wanted still on the board. He gambled that he would get one of those." And he lost. Coryell pointed to the names on the board.

Prothro had wanted Marty Lyons of Alabama, but the New York Jets made him the 14th player selected. And Prothro had wanted Don Smith of Miami but Atlanta made him the 17th player selected. When Cleveland arrived at No. 20 and the pick it had received from the chargers, it selected Houston wide receiver Willis Adams. "I bet Tommy's wishing he could take back that trade now," said Charger owner Klein.

"You flip a coin and sometimes you lose." And so it was that the Chargers got Kellen Winslow. "From the rumors and talk, I anticipated being in the top five," Winslow said by phone from Missouri. "But it doesn't make any difference. I'm happy to be coming to San Diego." It was felt that Cincinnati, picking third, would go for Winslow. However, Kansas City, picking second, took Col- orado State defensive lineman Mike Bell and left Washington State quarterback Jack Thompson available.

Cincinnati took Thompson instead. Michael Trope, Winslow's agent, also thought his client would be Cincinnati-bound. "When Kansas City did not take Jack Thompson," he said, "it threw the whole draft out of kilter." Trope will be busy in the days to come. Six of his clients -Ottis Anderson, Russell Erxleben, Charles Alexander, Ivery, Rick Sanford and Winslow-went on the first round. Trope will undoubtedly be pleased to hear how highly the Chargers regard the 6-5, 245-pound Winslow.

"He's a cinch," Coryell said. "He was unanimously the best among our people." In fact, the Chargers really seemed more excited about getting Winslow than they were a year ago about getting John Jefferson, and Jefferson became All-Pro as a rookie. "I think he has the same potential," Younger said. "He has great size, great speed, good hands, and he's agile, mobile and tough. He's one of the few tight ends who can really get deep." "I like catching the ball," Winslow said, "and I know coach Coryell likes to throw it.

I can get just as deep as wide receivers and just as fast. Because of my size, I can put defensive backs at a disadvantage." Part of the price the Chargers paid to get Winslow was, of course, their pick in the second round. They took middle linebacker Clifford Thrift of East Central Oklahoma in the third round and wide receiver Johnny Floyd of Northeast Lousiana in the fourth round. Because of trades, the Chargers did not have picks in Rounds 5 and 6 Thursday and will not have a pick in Round 7 this morning. They resume picking again in round eight and have picks in each of the final five rounds, in- ncion FE Cation MSrii p.m,iiiimM.jnljf)ilii1-L,Li in i OLYMPUS Of.1-2 (N) S3900 -f MMI33 11AM LIVE!
