I know that in the long run comparisons of draft prospects to pro players doesn't mean very much and is often inaccurate. Still, I always enjoy them because it gives me a chace to see the type of player they can potentially be if they reach their potential. Just for fun I thought I'd start a thread where we can compare prospects that are relevent to the Niners to pro guys. I'll start it feel free to join in.
Guys that I haven't seen play I didn't comment on.
Von Miller - James Harrison
Harrison is the only 3-4 LB who has size similar to Von Miller (6-2 240 ish) everyone else is about 6-5 250 -270. Due to this their games appear similar to me. They are both polished pass rushers with multiple pass rush moves and who have to rely on their quickness to be successful.
Harrison is a fair comparison, but I don't think he's the only other 3-4 OLB that size. Dummerville, Woodley, and Tapp are all a bit short aren't they?
Honestly, I think being a little lower can be an asset for pass rushers. Gives you better leverage.
Yeah, but they are all hevyier than Von is. Von is on the light side for the position.
