Derrick Harvey. The Vikes' DE's don't seem to be holding up real well. Beside, their pass defense was pitiful. Let's get a rush in there.

its clearly a pass rusher, especially with both merling and harvey on the board. i voted for merling personally.

I agree, DE is the ticket here. Like Da_Bomb I leaned towards Merling, just like the way Clemson players are taught to play. Their motors are always running and Clemson never loses from lack of effort.

Looks like this might be a close one between these two DEs.

Should have an option they could use on 1st down. I don't know, maybe a punter ??

My first instinct here was Talib because I think his value is closest to this spot, if not even higher. Plus for the past couple years the Vikes' front 7 has been tremendous, specifically vs. the run.
However I decided on Harvey for 2 reasons. I have him rated just slightly higher than Merling (when I have 2 guys rated so close, I typically use strength of opponent/conference as a tiebreaker),and the fact that Udeze may not be available for awhile, if ever again.
