But the Chargers medical staff examined Shaw at the NFL combine in February and doesn't expect it to be a problem.

We feel got one of the top two corners in the draft, said Beathard lie's a guy who has the speed to cover speed wide receivers." Both of the Chargers starting cornerbacks return from last year. Shaw is not expected to compete with either Darnen Gordon or Dwayne Harper for a starting job. But he does figure significantly in their defensive plans The wav teams use three re- Unless you were Terrance Shaw. Hes the comerback from Division I-AA Stephen F. Austin who was the Chargers first pick of the draft.

They took him with the second selection in the second round, a pick the Chargers acquired by trading down. They sent their first-round pick this year to Carolina. In exchange, they got second-, third- and fourth-rounders from the Panthers. I cant believe it. I didnt expect to be picked so early," Shaw-said by telephone from Marshall, Texas.

I thought I would go maybe at the bottom of the second or the third, somewhere in that area. I'm just lost for words. Shaw said he expected to go We Sell Propane iff NOW OPEN SUNDAY 9-3 1330-B Mission Rd. 7651 Ronson Rd. Escondido San Diego 739-9100 278-8351 ETZl running back Terrell Fletcher.

1 les a player we had rated as a first-round player," said Beathard We had in our plans that we wanted to get him. lies an explosive back with great petal Fletcher acknowledged that the trade of next years No. 1 could put pressure on him this season. Yeah, but my whole thing is Im going to try to go in there with as little pressure and try to mix with the veterans as much as possible and try to help the squad, Fletcher said. The 5-foot-H, 196-pound Fletcher is considered a third-down back.

That might not be good news for Ronnie Harmon. Fletcher could make Harmon expendable. Getting rid of Harmons $1.5 million salary for this coming season would help the Chargers stay under the NFL salary cap. Beathard denied that was a factor in drafting Fletcher. We took him regardless of whether we have Ronnie or not, said Beathard.

Ronnie is still the same as he always was. Hes a big part of our offense. If Terrell comes in and plays the role of a running back rather than a third-down back, that might be the case. We dont know yet. Beathard used the Chargers third pick in the second round on wide receiver Jimmy Oliver ofTexas Christian.

Oliver was a sprinter on the Horned Frogs track team and saw' limited football action. He wasnt even invited to the NFL combine. Even Beathard admitted it was a bit of a ceivers all the time, tor all intents there are three starting corners on a team, said Billy Devaney, the Chargers director of player personnel. Willie has a lot of promise, but its still a wait-and-see if Willie matenahz.es. We thought going into the season we needed a first-rate cover guy and Shaw was the best guy after Poole." Tyrone Poole of Fort Valley State was the Chargers first choice at cornerback.

But he went to Carolina in the first round with the 22nd overall selection. The Chargers also weren't able to work out a deal to move up in the first round here they wanted to draft one of two linebackers Mark Fields of Washington State went to New Orleans with the 13th overall selection. Hugh Douglas of Central State in Ohio went to the Jets with the 15th pick. They also were unable to work out a deal to trade up in the second round in time to take Michigan quarterback Todd Collins before he was selected by Buffalo. The Bills took Collins with the 13th pick in the second round, the 45th overall.

Beathard offered next years No. 1 but found no takers. In my opinion the best quarterback in this draft was Todd Collins, said Beathard. I think he is really a special guy and will be a franchise quarterback. We would have loved to have had him, but we couldnt get anybody ahead of Buffalo to make the deal.

Beathard was able to trade next years No. 1 a few picks later. He sent it to Detroit for the Lions second-rounder, the 51st pick overall. Its the third time since he came to San Diego in 1990 that Beathard has acquired a second-round pick by trading next years No. 1 He took Eric Moten with the 47th pick in 1991 and got Natrone Means with the 41st in 1993.
