Mallet is alot more mobile the Drew, I would think Big Ben would be a good comparison, on the field atleast. Very strong arm, can throw on the run and make plays and lead a comeback.

How does a Heisman-winning RB compare to a CB who can't be a #5 in his team's depth chart?

Banta-Cain is rush backer only while Romeus appears to be a 4-3 end only... I don't see a thing in common between these two.
Mark Ingram - Adrian L. Peterson
Everything about Mark Ingram just screams Emmitt Smith to me
Marvin Austin - Darnell Dockett
Sizewise, yea, but Marvin Austin's tendencies remind me of Gerard Warren. The second he gets paid, he's going to revert to the unmotivated lazy sack of **** he has been at UNC

To me, Greg Romeus is a taller, more productive Robert Ayers. Both lack an elite first step but have strong hands and the potential to be effective stack & shed LDEs.
Ayers does play 3-4 OLB for the Broncos, but I thought he was a less than ideal fit for the position, much like Romeus would be.

Well, it's the best I could think of.
Ayers may be 2" shorter than Romeus, but both are guys who aren't necessarily going to beat good tackles with speed off the edge. At Tennessee, Ayers did his best work as an interior rusher; Romeus does it by engaging, then beating offensive tackles.
For example, Romeus was able to get past Anthony Davis when he jolted him on initial contact, then beat him to his inside shoulder. But when he tried to run around Davis or beat him with a spin move, Romeus was largely unsuccessful, sometimes getting put on the turf.

Not your comparison... the Broncos picking him. I found it baffling.

Joseph Barksdale - Marvel Smith
Ryan Mallet - Joe Flacco
Mark Ingram - Ray Rice
Robert Quinn - Justin Tuck
Adrian Clayborne - Darnell Dockett
Marvin Austin - ?? :S ... Broderick Bunkley?
Gabe Carimi - David Stewart
Aaron Williams - um....not really sure on this one...a slightly slower Ike Taylor with great hands?

I am sorry for putting down Robert Quinn. I seen tape of him and he reminds me of a Julius Peppers clone and if we get a Julius Peppers clone next to a Warrep Sapp clone then holy ****!!!

Aaron Williams - Charles Woodson
Plus size. Excellent hips, above average speed. Good tackling CB, with the ability to play the ball. Will not be a 100% shut down guy like Revis or Nnamdi, but will make a ton of plays, like Woodson, be it ints, TFLs, FFs..ect. He also has the size and versatility to play FS in a pinch like Woodson.
My 2 cents.
