Comparing MD-docked structures and otherwise-docked structures is easy - 
look at the RMS deviation of atom positions, to start with. However, a 
small or large deviation is not evidence that either docked structure 
bears any relationship to what happens in vivo.

People use these kinds of methods for good reasons. Time spent reading 
up on how and why is time well spent.
