Modern-day birds like chickens and ostriches would be (distantly) related to theropods like T-rex, and theropods were physically intermediate between birds and modern-day reptiles, but what about sauropods like Brachiosaurus and Argentinosaurus? Whereas say crocodilia and theropods were carnivores with elongated, powerful jaws, sauropods were herbivores that looked more like giraffes and camels.
