yes really. how many sed ellis's come out of drafts? how many aaron donald's come out of drafts? ellis wasn't terrible, he wasn't a bust. He's more comparable to ellis' size and rankins athletic ability is kind of inbetween the two. definitely doesn't have same explosvieness and quickness donald has.

Closer to Jurrell Casey as Rankins stated in his interview though Rankins is more athletic. Jurell Casey is a really good if overlooked player.

While you are spot on right here, the big difference is Rankins mindset. Now I admit I wasn't pouring thought scouting reports in 2008 like I do now. So, I don't remember if there were any knocks on Ellis's work ethic coming out of college, but you could tell from day one he took plays off and didn't have the drive to match his talent.
I have heard nothing that even indicates Rankins has any part of that mindset. So, I am hoping we got a player that will constantly push to get better instead of one who is ultra talented and going through the motions. Regardless history says the draft is a crapshoot, but I choose to be optimistic here because the last two 1st picks (not mearly 1st round because I loved the Anthony pick last year) I wasn't.

Well yeah, no one has Donald's explosiveness and quickness. He's the best in the league at that position
People are attempting to make Ellis comparisons based on their combine numbers
We can just say his numbers are comparable to geno Atkins so he will be geno Atkins!!!!!
