Germaine Ifedi
RG: smarter JR Sweezy*
RT: smarter Breno Giacomini*
* with more upside
Niether players were horrible as Britt, Moffitt, or Carp in thier worst years for the Seahawks. Both were solid with dominant, physically imposing players that played with superb toughness. Both despite being incredibly raw initially were still growing into thier upside and position and earned decent contracts as free agents .
Ifedi though has the intelligence to be more consistent and quicker feet paired with elite length and athleticism to have more upside as a pass-proctector. Ifedi , 37 starts in SEC, also isnt as raw coming in as Sweezy (DT convert) and Giac (TE convert) were coming in even though Giac had a couple years getting settled at OT with thr Packers.
You could argue Sweezy's raw athletcism is better on paper but you could also argue the measurables would equalize in Ifedi's favor if Sweezy tested at 324 and Ifedi tested at 298.
Jarran Reed
DL: Heavier Demarcus Dobbs with Brandon Mebane's run-suffing talent with Beast Mode intensity.
Dobbs was a movable talent along the line that played smart, assignment correct football. Dobbs wasnt really adept at anything in particular, hence Mebane's talent infusion. Beast Mode because Reed plays with that level of physical tenacity and passion that more often than not will rally and inspire physicality.
CJ Prosise
RB: Fred Jackson with Percy Harvin potential as a move player. Prosise as a guy who can be versatile in the scheme as a 3rd down RB but has the talent and potential to tilt the field.
Nick Vannett
TE: Simple and clean Zach Miller. Perfect comp in size, athleticism, and blocking acumen. Recieving potential (although not as utilized Meyers system and perhaps under utilized by Cardele Jones) is similar as well when Vannett has been described as an effecient route runner with soft hands.
Rees Odhiambo
LG/T: Paul McQuistan with more upside. McQuistan was a servicable if not solid O-linemen. Like Odhiambo, McQuistan was athletically limited and served better as an OG than he did OT. However, McQuistan played with toughness and with consistency to who he was. Not a guy who could physically or athletically dominant but did enough of the right things to be a valuable starter.
Quinton Jefferson
Sub-282.5 lbs with better lower body strength and quicker hands (both trainable): Michael Bennett, reading Jefferson's scout profile he sounded like a poor man's Bennett. Perfect comp in size, length, similar athletic traits and skills, even being driven by family.
282.5+: Demarcus Dobbs with Hill's upside as a pass-rusher. Jefferson as a guy who can move around the line, play smart well-rounded football, who can penetrate and pressure, get clean up sacks but lacks the pure athleticism to be dominant at any one spot.
Alex Collins
RB: Robert Turbin ability, intagibles with the unique vision, and between the tackles physicality and mentality similar to Marshawn Lynch.
Joey Hunt
OC: Patrick Lewis with Max Unger's intangibles and center acumen. Stouty OC with arms on the shorter side plus athletically limited. However, Hunt checks every box of what an OC needs to be mentality on and off the field.
Kenny Lawler
WR: Ive seen comps to Houshmanzadeh but I trying to keep it in the Carroll era cant remember if he was cut after 2009 or 2010. Another one, ive seen is Ben Obomanu or better Kevin Norwood. But my comp is Sidney Rice. The one that lacked the explosion and athleticism of his younger years after injuries but was a dependable chain-mover and adept scorer.
Zac Brooks
RB/WR: This was the hardest comp as Seahawks havent really had a comparable talent in the Carroll era. Tall (6'1) but slim (185) RB. Pushing for a comp Id say, Golden Tate's underrated strength, physicality, mentality with Paul Richardson's body (ht, wt) and athletic smoothness. However, JS did say Brooks was 200 lbs. That could be true or a target. Perhaps in the VMAC visit they told him he needed to bulk up. So he would be about as stout as Tate but tad longer.
