Terrance Newman.

 

[AJM1613]

Kennedy or Sullivan

Seriously? Leftwich or Suggs.

 

[Midswat]

Considering how dominant he's been . . . and how our most glaring need on defense is a DT . . . I'd have to say Kevin Williams.

At the time . . . I was jockeying for Byron Leftwhich though . . .

 

[ghettogandhi]

looks like a really weak draft right about now

 

[Verdict]

Id say the Verdict is still out. Newman has looked both good and bad. The current NEED on this team indicates Kevin Williams could have been used, but the CB situation would be worse. Hindsight is 20/20, so we could have traded down and got Williams and possibly another first rounder, say Willis McGahee.

My vote was for Terence Newman.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

At the time I wanted...

Leftwich
Newman
Suggs

In that order.

 

[jacs]

i knew no one but i had seen Leftwich play but i didnt wanted him

 

[tyke1doe]

My opinion then was

Leftwich
Suggs
Newman

Now it would be

Kevin Williams
Suggs
Newman


Reason?

I doubt Parcells would have started Leftwich at the end of last season or the beginning of this season.
Suggs really wouldn't be as successful because we don't have the down lineman to support a 3-4 defense and Suggs isn't a true DE.

With Kevin Williams, we would be closer to a 3-4 and we could have picked up a corner in the second round. I haven't been too terribly impressed with Newman. Maybe he'll be better with more help up front.
