The following are rough player comparisons for some of the top 2009 NFL Draft prospects. Obviously this is a very subjective matter and there are no guarantees that these guys will be as good, better or worse than the players I compare them too. In other words there is nothing too scientific about this at all, just something fun to read and think about.

Geez Leonidas...you've made your point and anyways,

 

I agree with you on that whole issue. It's silly. The established media outlets have much bigger fish to fry and you're only drumming up business for them and at the same time giving us lots of good info. Laws aside, I think you're more right than wrong IMO.

 

But also I hope we don't have to revisit this issue on a chronic basis.

 

Figo, Thanks very much for posting this. The author obviously put a lot of time and effort into the comparisons and seems like a very knowledgeable football fan. There is a real art to doing this sort of thing that maybe many people won't appreciate. But I think the comparisons he makes are uncanny...I've made many of the same ones. Thanks again.

Don't blame me. I had to do it. For Sparta. And 'cause Xerxes made me.
