Deagol may well have regarded the Ring in the same way Bilbo did. They were both Hobbits at any rate.
Smeagol was different though. While still a Hobbit, he was really a bit of a wierdo, and considered such by members of his family it would seem. Perhaps it was this wierdoness that drew him to the Ring; it was more on his wavelength as a wierd object itself.
