I heard yesterday that Gronk reminded people of Jason Witten. So I was curious who our new draft picks remind people of....
 
McCourty- Mel Blount
Rob Gronkosky- Kellen Wislow
Jermaine Cunningham- Lawrence Taylor
Brandon Spikes- **** Butckus/Mike Singletary
Taylor Price- Jerry Rice
Aaron Hernandez- Ozzie Newsome
Zoltan Mesko- Ray Guy
Ted Larsen- John Hannah
Thomas Welch- Art Shell
Brandon Deaderick- Joe Greene
Kade Weston- Alan Page
Zac Robinson- Tom Brady

Thats just me, I think they have about the same talent. Just my opinion.

You are very generous in your comparisons.

Zac Robinson to Tom Brady? Brandon Spikes to **** Butkus?

Zac Robinson is more like a Jake Plummer

Brandon Spikes is more like a problem along the lines of a young Ray Lewis.

Sure, but they can improve.
 
McCluster -> Revis
Gronk -> Daniel Graham
Cunningham -> Quentin Groves
Spikes -> Bruschi
Hernandez -> Chris Cooley
Zoltan -> Shane Lechler

The rest I have no idea about

Yeah...the spikes to Butkus is...let's say...a stretch?!

I was actually gonna post on Spikes before i read any of theses. SPikes reminds me of a younger bryan Cox. AND i'll be honest what put my over the edge was the eye gauge incident! It's not a bad thing...i'm not calling him a "dirty player" for life....it's just something that Cox would have done!

I see Gronk as a much better run blocker than Whitten.

McCourty plays a lot like Revis. He has that upside.

Gronk is so smooth...I think of Todd Heap.

Cunningham has Demarcus Ware type speed in the short shuttle, I think he has elite upside.

Spikes is Bart Scott in terms of playing style, but Ray Lewis in terms of draft status; he slipped because of an overestimated flaw and I think he could be very good here.

Price could make a Mike Wallace type impact right away, and I think he has a Santana Moss ceiling. Remember, Moss was once very good.

Hernandez has a Dallas Clark ceiling because he's so good at catching the ball.

Larsen is a center. He does center things. Olin Kreutz?

Welch is a late bloomer. I'm thinking Mike Gandy, except a little better.

Deaderick, Weston and Robinson...w/e they're seventh rounders. Weston reminds me a little of Jarvis though.
