Same. I believe the argument against him presently is:
 - Hutch/Thibs/[other name] are too good to pass up
 - franchise Robinson or give him a longer deal for similar expectation

The arguments for:
 - A little more than double the tag money to lock up a Robinson-ish player for four times as long.
 - Pederson has no loyalty/investment in Little or anyone else on the line.
 - unless Hutch/Thibs/other wow in workouts/film, it's basically picking positional value over any disparity in talent/potential.
 - which is harder to find, premium tackle or pass rushing OLB?

I don't know if he's the best option. When our roster is as limited as it is/has been, we need to infuse as much talent as we can everywhere. As long as he doesn't end up the next Tony Mandarich or Luke Joeckel, I think we'll be ok.
