Prospect Comparison Thread

[DraftSavant]

I see a lot of Matt Stafford in Barkley, with just a little weaker arm.

Wouldn't really have much to disagree about with the "weaker-armed" Stafford comparison, except that the biggest thing to like about Stafford was his arm strength. i.e., not that flattering a comparison. Still just saying, "Yeah, he's pretty good at what you need a QB to do."

Robert Turbin makes me think of Marshawn Lynch. A bit stockier.

Malcolm Floyd.(Although I do need to watch more Streeter film, I'm going mostly off seeing him from the stands)

This pretty much exactly.

I see a LOT of Laurent Robinson in Aaron Dobson but with better hands.

[Brown Leader]

Bama NT Josh Chapman: poor man's BJ Raji

tOSU C Michael Brewster: Nick Mangold (not just tOSU connection, they're very similar)

Arizona FS/CB Robert Golden: Nick Collins or Antrel Rolle

Troy OT James Brown: Marshall Newhouse

Wake Forest OLB Kyle Wilber: Connor Barwin

Missouri DT Dominique Hamilton: Jarvis Jenkins (Clemson-2011) or Ziggy Hood (Missouri-2009)

Toledo CB Desmond Marrow: Brandon Browner (Oregon St.-2005)

W. Kentucky RB Bobby Rainey: Jordan Todman (UConn-2011)

N. Illinois QB Chandler Harnish: Zac Robinson (Oklahoma St.-2010)

thank you. Much slower than those two but if he hadn't been slowed by a bad knee he'd be getting more buzz.

I threw out the Hasselbeck comparison a few weeks ago, and whether or not that was the first time on these forums, it seems to be one quite a few people can agree on. And while Hasselbeck was never necessarily "elite" in Seattle, if you think you're getting a quality 10-year starter who can win in the playoffs, that's worth a top-10 pick. When I watch Barkley, I see a solid if unspectacular pro prospect who doesn't have any glaring problems in his game, has a good pedigree and will be well-prepared for the pros and has a lot of starting experience. I expect him to be better then Mark Sanchez. I actually think they're really similar, but I'd give Barkley more points in the composure category. I think he's a bit more accurate and seems less erratic.

I think Tyler Wilson looks exactly like an early Matt Hasselbeck.

George Iloka- Kam Chancellor.


Really like Iloka. Think he can have similar success as Chancellor has had too.

That's one I forgot in the "hits/miss" thread. I didn't like anything about Chancellor when he was coming out. Looks like a miss so far.

[K Train]

how about chris polk/matt forte?

i think they could be pretty similar, and probably have similar draft value too

[Leon Sandcastle]

Anyone else seeing a lot of Drew Brees in Matt Barkley?

I've been saying this for a while. They look identical when they're moving around in the pocket.

[Leon Sandcastle]

Coby Fleener - Pete Metzelaars

Whoa! You took it back.

[Caulibflower]

Melvin Ingram... Brandon Graham?

[Caulibflower]

Isaiah Pead - LeSean McCoy

[SuperPacker]

David Wilson - James Starks

[norcalgsr]

David Wilson - James Starks

Pierce = Starks
Wilson = Joe McKnight with more power; both carry over their return mentality to RB and run with reckless abandon

Did you just say Joe McKnight runs with reckless abandon? ugh
