Lomax to Green 84
Hall of Famer
Please no campaigning for one particular player. Please no bashing of one player just because you want the Cards to pick somebody else. Give me an honest, objective evaluation of who will be the best player in this draft.
Actually I want 2 opinions:
A. Who will be the best player next year
B. Who will be the best player 3 years from now.
Here are my selections:
A. Best player next year-Charlie Rogers-I think he makes a huge Randy Moss type of impact with most likely the Lions. Joey Harrington is a year older and they have a decent pass blocking line who will give Rogers a chance to get down field and give Harrington time to throw the deep bomb. Pair those two up with an excellent offensive mind (Steve Marriucci) and the potential for immediate impact is there.
B. Best player 3 years from now-Byron Leftwich-I have no doubt that if he stays healthy he will have the biggest longterm impact on whatever team selects him. He combines tremendous physical tools with ever better leadership and intangible skills. Will lead a team to more than one Super Bowl in his career. A rare player who has the rare gift of making those around him better. Marshall teammates were crying when he took the field for the last time, he had that kind of impact on his teammates. That kind of leadership can't be taught.
