We can do the fake comparisons all day, trying to match a player to another player is one of the worst things you can do when evaluating players because all of them are different and came from different circumstances. Not saying I want him, but that is a lazy comparison.
The underlying point in that post is that the pundits are often wrong in their evaluating. Just because a bunch of draft sites say a guy is a top 10 pick doesn't mean real NFL personnel people see them that way. Maualuga was a guy the pundits said was a Top 10 pick, we took him at the top of 2, and he was only really worth a late third. Or look at Billings. The pundits slated him as a late 1st and he fell to the end of 4.
