I still think I would lean towards McBride though. I really like McBride man. Cannot get past the idea of them passing up on this kid if he's on the board staring at us with the 33rd overall pick. 

That's if he's still there. I think he might sneak into RD1. He's a multi sport athlete. He's a high volume guy that got a lot of work in the traditional stance. I think he's barely hit his potential and he'll be even better in the NFL. Especially based on Pederson's philosophy. Hoping we can get Arnold and "new guy insert here" as a TE tandem like they had going on up there in Philadelphia for a little bit between Ertz and Goedert. 

With that said. I hope Williams slips into RD3 somehow. Would be a great fit in a 3 - 4 scheme. Just depends on free agency I guess. I liked this head to head though. Really dig it. 

Next choice: Christian Harris Vs. Devonte Wyatt

Regarding Williams vs. McBride, how much does what happens at pick 1 impact your choice?  If the Jaguars took KT or Hutch at pick 1, is that decision between McBride and Williams still tough?  For me, what happens at 1 plays a huge role in what I might do at 33.  If we took the edge at 1, I don't take Williams at 33 because we
d then already have Allen and KT/Hutch.  In such a deep class and given the important of edge rusher, I might double dip, but I don't think I take my 2nd edge at 33 if we went edge at 1.  OTOH, if we went OL with our first pick, it becomes a very tough choice.  I might err on the side of positional importance, but I think having a security blacnket over the middle is critical to TLs development.  If I took Williams under those circumstances, I might try to move back up into the 2nd round to ensure we got a TE.

I thought that was a good one because both players represent big needs for the Jaguars at positions that are deep in this draft.  I wondered how posters would prioritize them.

As for your new pairing of Harris vs. Wyatt, that's another good choice.  Both are similar value and both would fit in our scheme.  I'd choose Harris because we went heavy at DL last offseason, without similarly going heavy at LB.  Both ILB positions could be upgraded, even if we managed to double up at edge.

Next up:  Bo Melton vs. Won'Dale Robinson.

100% with you. If they take either one of the top pass rushers I think they have to be excited knowing that McBride is still on the board on the next opening night. He's got to be on the board priority wise. As should Wydermyer. Also agreed on Harris over Wyatt. And I am a Bulldogs fan saying that! I really like Harris. He's a thumper, he's quick, he's well rounded. I could see him knifing up and shooting gaps really well in a 3 - 4 scheme against the run and pass. 

I like Wan'Dale Robinson over Bo Melton. I get to see a lot of Kentucky games because of the Bulldogs with the SEC conference. He's got a lot of big game ability. Was really impressed in one particular game I saw him in from start to finish. That was against the Bulldogs. Naturally they kept coming back to him and he struggled. However, he kept working. I like that in a player. Especially at a skill position. He doesn't quit. Saw the same mentality against Tennessee in another loss. They kept feeding him in both games. 

You really have to feel for that kid too. It's not like Kentucky was fully loaded on offense last year. He was literally all they had at times and defenders knew it from the first snap. Very impressive though for a transfer. He's not the biggest guy but he's scrappy, plays big, has a RB vibe to him. Depending on his combine and pro workout he'll probably sneak into early RD2 conversations. 

Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all though if they got him in RD3. Could be an early steal with Pederson and this staff calling the offense.
