My take:
On offense, the WRs would. Dallas Clark would not. He has bigger catch numbers than our TEs, but wouldn't start in our system over our more well-rounded guys. (At the same time he may start over our guys in the Colts system) Addai wouldnt. Manning wouldn't. I suppose if you had all 10 of the starting OL on the same team, Light (IMO, he is clearly better than Glenn) Mankins, Koppen (clearly better than Saturday) would easily start. Neal, IMO would, and the players would be shifted around a bit so one Colt OL started, probably Glenn at RT.
On D, no one on their DL would start. (I imagine, maybe possibly we would play more 43 to get Freeney in, but he so weak vs the run, I doubt he would play in any situations other than nickel/dime)
At LB, I think Brackett, today would start inside, with Vrabel moving outside, and TBC to the bench. June would have to try and become a safety to play on our D. Freeney couldn't handle the run from an OLB position in the 34 either.
At corner, no one they have would start for us. Sanders would be a starter at safety, and if both Harrison and Wilson were healthy, we'd probably move Wilson to corner because we could afford to. I dont believe Sanders would start over Wilson though if they didnt make that move, because we use our safeties very differently than the colts, and Wilsons strengths fit our D better.

#1 there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD that saturday is better than Koppen. I cant even say its close. I agree with you on Diem, and disagree on Glenn. He and Light are basically a draw as pass blockers and Light is a much better run blocker IMO. But it is a subjective thing. No way I give in on Koppen, but I could accept 3 of our 5 start over theirs.
I disagree on Harper. I think he is in the bottom 20% of starting corners, and Hobbs is just a better player. (Scott is too)
The only other thing we disagree on is TE.
Clark as a receiver only as I said, is at this point, ahead of our TEs, but Watson has much greater potential. But as a complete TE, its not even close. We require TEs to be much better blockers than Clark is.

Harper is a pretty good CB in the league..David is their bad 1
i also think Koppen is abetter center..no idea why i picked Saturday..guess the pro bowls fooled me
