Mike Evans - Vincent Jackson 8. Justin Gilbert - Terrance Newman 9. Anthony Barr - Cameron Wake 10. Eric Ebron - Vernon Davis 11. Taylor Lewan - Nate Solder 12. Odell Beckham Jr. - Santana Moss 13. Aaron Donald - Geno Atkins 14. Kyle Fuller - Carlos Rogers 15. Ryan Shazier - Zach Brown 16. Zack Martin - Michael Bowie 17. C.J. Mosely - Curtis Lofton 18. Calvin Pryor - Louis Delmas 19. Ju'Waun James - Cordy Glenn 20. Brandin Cooks - Steve Smith 21. HaHa Clinton-Dix - Antoine Bethea 22. Johnny Manziel - Russell Wilson 23. Dee Ford - Olivier Vernon 24.

I would compare Shazier more to Zach Brown from Tennessee. They are similar players.

I don't get the Bortles/Cutler and Mack/Harrison comparisons.
Bortles does not have the throwing power of Cutler and Mack is a do-it-all guy.

I don't get the Bortles/Cutler and Mack/Harrison comparisons. Bortles does not have the throwing power of Cutler and Mack is a do-it-all guy. I agree Bortles doesn't have JC's arm strength, but besides that they are comparable. I know a lot of people think Bortles is like Luck, but I didn't want to make that comparison. As for Mack, I agree he's a do it all type of LB, and I made the comparison because I have always thought Harrison was as well.. Was he not?

I think Harrison is just a pass rusher. I never thought of Harrison as a cover guy.

MarchingOn I don't know if OBJ is fast enough to be compared to Santana Moss.

MarchingOn I don't know if OBJ is fast enough to be compared to Santana Moss. you know OBJ ran a 4.38 right? I looked it up and it said 4.41 which is a full 10th of a second slower than Moss. Which really isn't that big of a difference, but Moss is one of the fastest guys I have ever watched.. Beckham isn't.
