Player Comparisons!

I know we have a lot of people who want us to get Peterson I thought it was funny to see this comparison.

Patrick Peterson is somewhat of a souped-up Chris Gamble. Really souped-up

Andy Dalton is compared to Rex Grossman

For people who think we need a WR...

Jerrel Jernigan reminds me some of Mario Manningham. Both have strong builds for their size, both have a knack for sneaking underneath and over coverage, and both have nice straight line speed. Jerngan’s better, in my opinion, due to his versatility, big

hands and ability to maintain acceleration when cutting or moving laterally. But both are undersized playmaker types.

Jernigan’s also got a good deal of Percy Harvin to him.

One WR I would love to see us get is this guy, I don't know if we could get him in the 3rd round but I would love to see us get this guy. He has been clutch and might be underrated because of where he is coming from.

I think Titus Young can be sort of what Ted Ginn was supposed to be. He’s not going to be your every-down No. 1 receiver, but he can line up in the slot and stretch the field vertically. He has strong hands and the ability to contribute in more than one way

Julio Jones flashes some Sidney Rice. Although, lately, that’s almost a knock on Jones. Both are strong players who can win jump balls, but every now and then disappear whether by injury or great defensive play. Still, when they get going, they’re tough to stop and they can handle the duties of the No. 1 spot. Of course, Jones is going to be taken a lot higher than Rice, and that’s deserved.

While I don't believe we need a DE we still have people who think we need to get Bowers. I personally don't think he will be a bust like Gaines was but history does seem to repeat itself and I don't think he is even close to be worth a #1 pick

Da’Quan Bowers wears the same uniform the late Gaines Adams once donned, which makes it easy to compare the two top-five defensive ends. Though, Bowers is a better player who moves laterally with less stiffness and a stronger set of instincts. Honestly.

And of course there are Andrew Luck Comparisons and yes they mention him being compared to Peyton Manning but they also say that Matt Ryan is a more realistic comparison. I wouldn't mind having a player like Ryan who in my opinion is going to be the top QB in the NFL in a few years.

I don't think Bowers is as athletic as Peppers. Peppers also has the talent to get a lot of passes defended and interceptions, something I don't think Bowers is capable of. I like some of your comparisons. I don't think Randy Moss is a good comparison to any player because of his issues off the field and recently teams have found many ways to shut him down.

From a physical standpoint its a great comparison. Moss's effort is what has been lacking lately not his talent when he comes to play he is uncover-able.

LOL comparing Peterson to Gamble is a joke. Has anyone at that site watched Gamble play....he's soft as poo.....the comparison to Revis or Aso is much better. Peterson is a monster at corner, he initiates contact at the LOS to jam a receiver, has excellent footwork and has incredible speed for his size. He's also built like a safety and can hit with the best of them......

I wouldn't deem anyone a monster before they get on a NFL field. It's his size, style, and press ability they are comparing, not how good he's going to be

    • It’s one thing if we’re converting the salaries of a Turk Wharton or Tommy Tremble.  This is Derrick Brown.  He’ll end up with a whole new contract in a couple years anyway.  And he’ll earn it too.
    • My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.
    • Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
