That's hilarious, but I hope you're not really taking these "NFL Comparisons" seriously.

Put it this way: if you're going to subconsciously replace Devin Aromashodu and Michael Jenkins with clones of Devin Aromashodu and Michael Jenkins, at least they're a) young, b) undrafted, and c) longshots to even make the practice squad.

this is what nepatriotsdraft.com has for us, that WR from florida St is 6"6

Nick Edwards, WR Eastern Washington
James Vandenberg, QB, Iowa
Erik Highsmith, WR, North Carolina
Brandon Bishop, SS, Maryland
Jerodis Williams, RB, Furman
Camden Wentz, C, NC State
Darius Eubanks, LB, Georgia Southern
Collins Ukwu, DE, Kentucky
Zach Line, RB/FB, SMU
Nathan Williams, OLB, Ohio State
Colin Anderson, TE, Furman
Robbie Rouse, RB, Fresno State
Rodney Smith, WR, Florida State
Rayon Simmons, RB, Winona State
Mark Jackson, OL, Glenville State

Don't know if they "would both actually make the team."
If 32 GM didn't think they worth a 7 rd pick, maybe there's a reason.

Anyway, it's always surprising to see things like Chase Thomas (a late 1st round pick
in most mocks in January) going undrafted. (or Rodgers, Bray, Lester...)
Or the Vikings selected 2 OG I've never heard about while Alvin Bailey is still available.

But I guess they know what they're doing, and surely know more than me about selecting
football player, especially offensive linemen...

I bet he goes practice squad this year, unless he's just a real a$$-hole. The Vikes will feel they owe it to Cris (and to the idea that it took Cris a while to get his life together). I wouldn't mind - it's a good narrative.

Duron Carter, WR, Florida Atlantic
Anthony McCloud, DT, Florida State
Marquis Jackson, DE, Portland State

Duron's former Coffeyville quarterback, Cayden Cochran, remains unimpressed, calling the wideout on Twitter, "the most lazy, whiny & non-work ethic player the nfl has ever seen ... Horrible person & will be a complete cancer to any team on the board."

NFL.com piece.

Luckily the team doesn't have enough invested him him to become a "cancer". As an undrafted free agent he'll keep his mouth shut and work hard or he won't be on the team ... pretty simple.
