Player Comparisons

[TwoDeep3]

A lot of people here have studied the draft, and of the draftees....name some of the players you would compare them too or who they remind you of.

I'll go first

Derwin James = Sean Taylor
Anthony Miller = OBJ
Courtland Sutton = Julio Jones
DJ Moore = Steve Smith
Lamar Jackson = Micheal Vick

Sutton is to Jones what Crayton is to Irvin.

Sutton is to Jones what Crayton is to Irvin.

care to make a comparison or just criticize, besides thats no way to talk about a future Cowboy

Lazy!

If you say so.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Calvin Ridley - Marvin Harrison
Deon Cain - Sammy Watkins and it wouldn't surprise me if Dallas has Cain in their sights in the 3rd round. Dallas attempted to sign Watkins, and they have very similar games.

lol....he looks the part

Only if they are standing still...

E. St. Brown is closer to Julio than Sutton.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Has big, durable frame for heavy lifting. Inaccurate quarterback limited potential of his production over last two seasons. Doesn't get hung up easily by contact. Willing worker in the middle of traffic. Unfazed by oncoming contact and is able to focus throughout the catch process. Plays like basketball big man. Puts defender on his hip and keeps him there on slants and crossing routes. Uses body positioning and extended catch radius to pry open throwing window for his quarterback. Uses subtle, calculated hand-fighting that allows for sudden, late separation on jump balls. Consistent at working back to underthrown balls to help his quarterback. Has the confidence of a top-flight target. Physical blocker who will square and sustain to help spring his running back.
WEAKNESSES
Play speed feels non-threatening. Faster cornerbacks squat on routes and consistently contest his catches. Route wiggle is average and feel gradual rather than sharp. Has tendency to coast by on size and scheme over pattern effort and technique. Defaults to bodying smaller cornerbacks rather than working for cleaner windows. Doesn't show much separation burst on first and second levels. Inconsistent ball skills when adjusting late to throws. Won't scare defenses with catch-and-run. Can't get it cranked back up for yards after catch if he has to slow feet. Struggled to get anything going against quality competition like TCU and UCF.

Anything you see here that says #1 WR? Especially the coast aspect of his game.
