I love all the bills comparisons. I read somewhere a comparison of Roethlisberger to Jim Kelly.

[ShadowHawk7]

THAT IS AMAZING! Great find Spaz!!!
I'm suddenly wanting Roy, or Big Ben (comparisons to T.O. Moulds, then ELWAY!? ) Trading down to get Vernon Carrey (Mo Collins, and Larry Allen) would be awesome too!

By the by, what site did u get that from?

[ShadowHawk7]

wow, Derrick Straigt has got sum great comparisons! Winfield, for his tackling, and Madison for his big-play and coverage ability? Even tho we already have TV, and TM, wud u consider grabbing him in the 2nd?

no.. he LOOKS like winfield.. small..
he plays like madison.. playmaker.

great find, spaz.

It looks like the person got some of the info for that list from Sporting News' Draft Guide. They make comparisons of potential draftees to current NFL players. I like getting an idea of what to expect with the young players. Only thing is, they aren't always that accurate. D'Wayne Bates, drafted by Chicago, was compared to Andre Reed..not even close, IMO

I think this should be a sticky, because until now I didn't have a f**king clue about who was like what.

That said, if I could go shopping early for Christmas I'd get:

Manning
Reggie Williams
Will Smith

...and call it a day!

Trust me...pick up the Sporting News Draft guide..it gives about 20-25 players at most every position a current NFL player they compare to.

<--too cheap to buy it.

How could they be? It's a lot of fun to read that list and it does provide value but the accuracy has to be spotty.
