Berry's is obviously Reed.

CJ Spiller's comparison is some kind of hybrid of Chris Johnson and Reggie Bush, Johnson as a runner Bush as a reciever and special teams weapon.

Russ Okung, hrm, this one is hard because I'm not overly sure what OT in the NFL is like him. He doesn't have great feet and is not a good pass protector nor is he all that athletic so in that regard he's kind of like Jake Long was but he's nothing compared to Long in run blocking...it's weird to think a guy who doesn't overly excel in either aspect is being put in the top 5. Okung is one of those guys who will probably play 10 years, never make a pro bowl and have a largely forgettable career so John Tait?
Funny, that is exactly who I have compared him to when watching him play. I see Okung= Tait X.95

spot on man.

Jake Long has a lot more strength than Okung and was a bit better in the footwork department. Thinking of Okung, he comes off as what Branden Albert would of been in the draft if he played LT at Virginia instead of Guard.

Berry is much like Ed Reed

And he's considered the best olineman. Pretty lean year for 1st round talent olineman. i am glad we got albert when we did.

A wild lurker approaches!

Fake Edit: I don't think Okung will be the top OT in the draft after workouts, etc. Some people already think Trent Williams is a better prospect.

Colt McCoy ?

Same difference

Russ Okung is not as athletic as Albert is, so don't throw that out.

Colt McCoy is Brodie Croyle without the arm. Lean build, had some injury issues, pedestrian arm. He's not very accurate but the system he's in has really pumped up his numbers.

TheGuardian 12-25-2009 08:33 PM
Colt McCoy is going to be a colossal bust. So will his wide out that he stares down every pass.

Mecca 12-25-2009 08:34 PM
I don't really think any NFL team is under the illusion that McCoy will ever be more than a backup, if anyone takes him before say the 4th round they're tarded.

I am just saying I wouldn't want to have to be shopping for a LT in the coming draft. Of about 45 spots that need replacing at least lt is filled.

I wouldn't either, these guys are being pumped up by the value of their position not their actual talent. In most years they'd be late first early 2nd types, none of these guys are as good as Oher was last year.

That's something I wish the Oline or bust crowd would realize, if the guy was Ogden I might be like ok it's something that can be done, these guys aren't that level of prospect.
