Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
New starter at LB:
Matt Wilhelm vs. Barrett Ruud |
Cecil:
Wilhelm |
He's fully ready, and he's stepping into a position designed to be
productive. |
Landon:
Wilhelm |
He needs to show way more than last season. He's better than Ruud who may
not be on the field as much. |
Mike:
Wilhelm |
Gotta go with Cecil. I have Wilhelm as a top 30 LB. |
|
Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Old DB:
Brian Dawkins or Ronde Barber |
Cecil:
Barber |
Dawkins remains amazing, but Barber is still one of the most consistent DBs
ever. |
Landon:
Dawkins |
He tackles, gets picks, comes off the edge for sacks, AND collects defended
passes like mutt finds fleas. |
Mike:
Barber |
An oldie but goodie, Ronde' remains the man here. |
|
Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Middle-round DE:
Patrick Kerney or Justin Smith |
Cecil:
Smith |
I'll waffle: Smith is better all-around, but Kerney has the slightest edge
in Big Play leagues where sacks count more. |
Landon:
Kerney |
I like waffles. If ONLY Smith didn't see so many double/triple teams it'd be
a slam dunk for him. Kerney will give you more in redraft leagues; Smith for
dynasties. Look at last year's box scores. |
Mike:
Kerney |
Give me Kerney's big plays. All he needs are a few more tackles - which he
will get - to outdo Smith. |

Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Old WLB:
Derrick Brooks or Donnie Edwards |
Cecil:
Edwards |
Although I admittedly keep writing Brooks off too soon, Edwards will be
rejuvenated in Kansas City. |
Landon:
Edwards |
The numbers SCREAM Edwards! He'll want to show SD what they let go. |
Mike:
Edwards |
The move to KC gets Donnie's motor revving. He's going to have a throwback
year. |

Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Landry brother:
Dawan (Ravens) or LaRon (Skins) |
Cecil:
LaRon |
Dawan was impressive last year, but LaRon is the real talent in this family. |
Landon:
LaRon |
Mostly because that Balt. D will gobble up most of Dawan's tackle chances. |
Mike:
Dawan |
I'm from Missouri on this one. LaRon's talented, but he has to show me.
Dawan already did.. |
|
Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Old MLB:
Zach Thomas or London Fletcher |
Cecil:
Thomas |
Zach til he can't do it anymore. |
Landon:
Fletcher |
Washington handed him a load of money and a guarantee of 150 total tackles
with that porous front four. |
Mike:
Fletcher |
Both are top guys but London's got a 2 year advantage in age. At 34 I think
this is the year Zach starts to slip a bit. |
|
Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Early round DE:
Aaron Kampman or Derrick Burgess |
Cecil:
Kampman |
Both are recovering from off-season injury repairs. Kampman is better
all-around, but Burgess has certainly been tearing up training camp. |
Landon:
Kampman |
More productive with tackles and sacks; Burgess -nealry as good- will slip
into later rounds anyway. |
Mike:
Kampman |
Another Missouri case. Burgess hasn't been in Kampman's class yet - don't
see it this year, camp or no camp. |
|
Player Comparison |
Expert and Choice |
Reason |
Early round safety:
Sean Jones or Chris Hope |
Cecil:
Hope |
Almost a dead heat. Both will make lots of tackles, but Hope gets the edge
on playmaking ability. |
Landon:
Both |
Tough call! Redraft it's Hope; Dynasty it's Jones |
Mike:
Hope |
I agree with Cecil. Hope's all-around play gives him the edge. |
