Scoundrel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Your Daniel Jones comparison to Gabbert is awful. Gabbert has horrible pocket awareness. Jones has great pocket awareness. Jones steps up and takes shots. Gabbert didn’t. Jones doesn’t have a strong arm. Gabbert has a stronger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Why are there so many comparisons made to the top players in the league every draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch Murray this past year but he impressed me a lot in 2016 and 2017. When I make comps I don't always look to match the guys up in terms of measurables but rather playing style. Sometimes playing style can trump the measurables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played really well that year from what I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saquon is physically superior in almost every way not to mention is 15 pounds heavier, just the physical difference in them makes it a hard comparison but sure on the field they are alike in the fact they can run and catch the football so well. Also Marquise Brown, I doubt he is as fast as Santana Moss, he could fly. Will be interesting how Brown times out Moss had what 4.31 40 and 42" vertical. I really doubt Mack Wilson is as good as Deion Jones is in the NFL. Deion is fast and was a better playmaker in college I feel than Wilson who benefited a lot off the talent ahead of him keeping him clean. Also I would hope Daniel Jones does not turn into Blaine freaking Gabbert who I thought in college was a lot more run dependent than Jones who is more of a pure pocket passer who can run but does not have to run like Blaine did.

Rich7sena Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) A few I feel pretty good about. Some of the comps are more related to play-style than upside. QB: Dwayne Haskins: Matthew Stafford Drew Lock: Derek Carr RB: Josh Jacobs: Ezekiel Elliott David Montgomery: Kareem Hunt Damien Harris: Doug Martin Devin Singletary: Devonta Freeman WR: Riley Ridley: Michael Thomas KNeal Harry: Juju Smith-Schuster Deebo Samuel: Jarvis Landry Hakeem Butler: Mike Evans A.J. Brown: Amari Cooper Edge: Josh Allen: Chander Jones Montez Sweat: Danielle Hunter Brian Burns: Leonard Floyd CB: DeAndre Baker: Malcolm Butler Greedy Williams: Gareon Conley JoeJuan Williams: Jimmy Smith S. Johnathan Abram: Landon Collins Deionte Thompson: Vonn Bell Edited February 18, 2019 by Rich7sena 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually looks like a solid Draft if you need a backup QB. There's something about Easton Stick that I really like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Wilson has bleh instincts and doesn't get to the football with nearly the same burst. He's fast, but not DJ fast. The rest all looks great.

He's going to be a special teamer for the duration of his NFL career and nothing more. I'd bet money on that, having seen him play in just about every game. He's a tough kid and runs hard, but he's just not special enough as an athlete to warrant a draft pick IMO. He is, one of the best special teams prospects in this draft for what he does on KO, KOR, P, PR. He's special in that regard (not a return man, mind you).
