    Here is the list with what NFL WR they are comparable to:

    5. Dwayne Bowe, LSU: A very productive player with an excellent combination of size, speed and quickness. He became more consistent as a pass-catcher in 2006 and finished near the top of the SEC in receptions, yards and touchdowns. He continued to build that momentum with an impressive performance during Senior Bowl week and has emerged as a late first-round prospect.
    Comparable NFL Player: Donald Driver

    7. Craig "Buster" Davis, LSU: An explosive player with excellent speed, quickness and athleticism. He is a "football player" who has developed into a more consistent pass-catcher to complement his big-play ability as a runner. His versatility as a receiver/returner enhances his value as a second-round prospect.

    If Anthony Gonzales= Reggie Wayne, then this has to be the best WR draft in the history of the NFL.

    Here is the same type of article comparing the QBs and RBs to NFL players.

    Running Backs:

    Wolfe was compared to Dunn and Lorenzo Booker to Kevin Faulk.

    JR compared to Culpepper, see the rest of the top 10 here:

    1. JaMarcus Russell, LSU: Russell has all of the physical tools teams crave. His arm strength is off the charts, and his improved accuracy has impressed scouts. Not quite a finished product, this drop-back passer will thrive in a vertical offense that plays to his strengths. He is the only true "franchise" QB in the 2007 Draft and should be taken with the first overall pick.

    Comparable NFL player: Daunte Culpepper
