From a purely athletic standpoint they probably are in the same ball park.

And if the bolded is true then he will be a bust.

It'll mean he was over-drafted and over-evaluated. But getting a solid, 10 year starter is not a bust. People make way too much of draft position. I've said over and over again, the draft is a crap shoot. You can get a Hall of Fame player in the 6th round and you can get a guy who bounces out of the league in a couple of years in the first. You just never know for sure.
