Going by ourlads starters, I'd take:
QB: OM
Simmons > Shapen - OM+

OL: OM - Going out on a limb and throwing Jimothy in there.
Lewis > Pounds - State +
Jackson > Townsend - State
Townsend > Keenum - OM
Kutas > Reese - OM +
Williams > Steen/Work - OM

WR: OM
Stribling > Mosley - OM +
Harrison > Thompson - OM
Evans > Lee - State +
You could argue the 4th between Williams and Odom, but Odom is younger, higher rated and OM has had a look at both and would seem to prefer Odom.

RB: STATE
Booth > Diggs - State +
Bothwell > Taylor - State ++

TE: STATE
Traore > Wright - State

DL: OM
Womack > Hibbler - OM ++
Harris > Burroughs - OM ++
Brown and Whitson may be a push
Umanmielen > Jennings/Sylla - OM + (counting standup edge as DL)

LB: OM
Dottery > Smith - OM
Perkins > Tillman - OM ++

DBs - This one may actually be a push.
Jones > Fletcher - State
Mitchell > Williams - State +
Ryan > Lanier - OM ++
Braxton > Brumfield/Lewis - OM +
Smith > Gushiken - State +


I count 14 OM wins to 9 for State (counted WR4). I gave a + for where I thought the talent was really out of wack on one side. 13 for OM and 7 for us in my not so informed opinion. Vegas, analyst and I'd argue realist agree that they are more talented though.
How can you have Simmons over Shapen? Shapen has done way more in his career.
