Cole is an ideal RE, though. I don't like Morgan on the right side.

Patterson is a fine player, but that's too low for Price, IMO.

Brian Price is way way better than Patterson coming out of college.... way better.

Rolando McClain=Jeremiah Trotter

Spiller doesn't dance as much as Bush, but he still does it a lot. There's a reason why many Clemson fans didn't think he was the best running back on the team this year(best player, but a lot liked Ellington more as a runner). I wouldn't say Spiller is that much more physical than Bush.

The Felix Jones comparison works.

Mardy Gilyard-Santonio Holmes

Jimmy Clausen- Matt Leinart: He is a productive, experienced college passer in a pro style offense who lacks elite physical tools. We shall see how this bodes for his pro career.

Sam Bradford- Phillip Rivers: I like this one as both look pretty similar throwing the football and were both incredibly productive. Again, they both lack elite physical skills, but have incredible accuracy and intangibles.

Colt McCoy- Tony Romo: McCoy does not really do one thing any particularly well. However, like Romo, he is mobile, displays a good enough arm, is productive, and have similar physical attributes. I think McCoy is a project however, and no more than a late second or early third rounder.

Tim Tebow- Alex Smith: That's not a good thing. Both are athletic guys who were incredibly productive in college thanks to Urban Meyer's offense. This has not translated well to the NFL for Smith, and bodes even worse for Tebow. He is nowhere near the passer Smith was, or is now. He will not be a pro QB. he can't be.

C.J. Spiller- Felix Jones
Jahvid Best- Jamaal Charles
Johnathan Dwyer- Johnathan Stewart

Dez Bryant- Chad Ocho Cinco
Arrelious Benn- Hakeem Nicks
Golden Tate- Santana Moss

Jermaine Gresham- Antonio Gates
Rob Gronkowski- Todd Heap
Aaron Hernandez- Dustin Keller

Derrick Morgan- Will Smith
Jason Pierre-Paul- Michael Johnson: I'm not a fan of this guy.
Carlos Dunlap- Calais Campbell

Ndamukong Suh- Kevin Williams
Gerald McCoy- Tommy Harris
Dan Williams- Shaun Rogers

Sergio Kindle- Lamarr Woodley
Sean Weatherspoon- Rocky McIntosh
Eric Norwood- James Harrison

Rolando McClain- David Harris
Brandon Spikes- Andra Davis
Daryl Washington- Barrett Ruud

Joe Haden- Dunta Robinson
Patrick Robinson- Mike Jenkins
Perrish Cox- Nate Clements

Eric Berry- Ed Reed: This is cliche by now, but its true. He's a clone. Needless to say, he's going to be a stud.

Taylor Mays- Sean Taylor: Really, no one I've ever seen compares to this guy. He is one of the more intriguing prospects to have come around in a long time. No idea what to make of him.

Earl Thomas- Reggie Nelson

BaLLiN · 01-31-2010, 03:06 PM

Jonathan Dwyer- Shonn Greene

BufFan71 · 01-31-2010, 03:12 PM

Golden Tate- Josh Reed

Converted HB to WR. Lacks elite speed. Tough to tackle. Strong. Short, stocky, very good college wr

wonderbredd24 · 01-31-2010, 03:21 PM

Mardy Gilyard - Chad Johnson

Both run horrid routes, have similar body types, will have trouble beating the press, but both seem to just make plays

Dorin Dickerson- Poor man's Anquan Boldin

ToldLikeItIs · 01-31-2010, 03:59 PM

Well, no, I don't mean that at all. I meant when I typed. That's probably why I typed it.

Hines · 01-31-2010, 04:02 PM

Just making sure, Told.

If you see Calloway as similar to Colombo in that he will be a solid NFL RT than I can accept it. But not comparing them as prospects.

ToldLikeItIs · 01-31-2010, 04:46 PM

I make that comparison based on size, appearance, blocking style, and yes NFL potential.

So you believe that Calloway might be a late first round pick?

ToldLikeItIs · 01-31-2010, 05:25 PM

I believe that draft wasn't as deep in offensive lineman.

Dexter McCluster - MJD

Long hair, small and fast.

Not. even. close.

MJD is a tank, McCluster is not. Maurice Jones-Drew has a TON more power than McCluster.

RealityCheck · 01-31-2010, 05:44 PM

Didn't say anything about power... :)

But isn't the point of this thread to try and accurately compare players to try and gauge what type of success they can have in the NFL and not compare them by hairstyle?..

I'm truly just trying to understand. The draft wasn't as deep. Colombo was the 3rd OT taken.

ToldLikeItIs · 01-31-2010, 06:12 PM

Would Colombo, as a RT, be taken in the first round of this draft? Absolutely not.

I actually like Calloway as a prospect more, he can play either guard position as well at 6'7 322.

GoRavens · 01-31-2010, 06:14 PM

The MJD comparison to McCluster was hilarious...
