If we take a DE/OLB in round 1, I easily take Tre McBride over Sam Williams. If we don't take an edge rusher in round 1, I take Williams. He is my #3 edge rusher behind Hutchinson and Thibodeaux and he has a non-stop motor. 

I not a huge fan of Christian Harris, but I take him over DeVonte Wyatt, simply because we have no use for another NT. I'm satisfied with the current NT's we have. 

I easily take WanDale Robinson over Bo Melton. Robinson should be a 2nd or 3rd round slot receiver with speed and elusiveness and Melton is just a guy, who may not even get drafted. 

I easily take Lewis Cine over Daniel Faalele. We could use another solid Safety, as Rashawn Jenkins was a huge disappointment last year. Faalele looked like crap during Senior Bowl week. He spent more time on the ground than he did in pass protection. He looked slow and showed poor balance and strength. His stock fell massively. 

Jahan Dotson and David Bell are almost a tossup for me. I love Bell's size, hands and route running, but Dotson has the speed and quickness. I guess I would go Dotson by the narrowest of margins, but I'd be thrilled to take either player. 

Next up: ILB Damone Clark vs. WR Jalen Tolbert

So far, I don't see too many areas of disagreement among anyone.  Granted it's a small group of us posting.  Are the choices so clear cut or are we all on the same wavelength?

Overall, I think I would take Dotson over Bell, but for this team, I take Bell over Dotson.  Dotson has the explosiveness edge, but Bell is closer to being a #1...or at least a #2, as opposed to Dotson, who is a pure slot guy.  I'm thinking Pederson prefers larger receivers, as his Eagles WRs on his Super Bowl team did not have anyone under 6', though with Reid's success with Tyreek Hill and with Pederson being a Reid disciple, it's possible he may be more flexible on this.

As for your matchup...I take Clark over Tolbert.  Thus far in this exercise, I realize have gone with the ILB every time.  ILB, at least in my estimation, is an underrated need for this team.  In this case, I have not been as impressed with Tolbert, while LSU has a pretty decent history of productive ILBs.

Next up:  Dax Hill vs. Trent McDuffie

I am excited about guys through the 4th round.  5th round and later,,,my enthusiasm starts to wane.

Dax Hill please! Especially if hits that 4.2/4.3 40 at the combine. He's also versatile. He can play CB and he's probably a natural fit at FS. Wouldn't mind seeing him back there with Cisco and Campbell in front of him. Depending on where you look. Hill is a 1st RD talent or an early 2nd RD talent due to limited tape and starts at Michigan. Hopefully he's not another Jabrill Peppers type at the NFL. Where teams don't know how to let him stay at one position for a bit and get good at it instead of trying to move him around too much too often. 

Speaking of FS's though. Marlon Mcree is still a local here. Dude tipped my father-in-law 100 dollars yesterday on a delivery. 

Also, passed on McDuffie in this scenario because we have Campbell and Griffin tied up for a while. I think Cisco should start at SS. Having Hill in this case gives you a good FS and some versatility at times in certain packages defensively.

Next up: Luke Goedeke Vs. Alec Lindstrom
