I think it's important to give some context to the separation.
Here's how I'd put them:

QB: Utah. Huntley's proven, Wilson isn't. But it's close.
RB: Utah, by a mile.
WR: Utah, but it's close, especially if Romney takes a step forward and stays healthy.
Slot (if we're giving them separate rankings): Utah, by a big distance, assuming Covey's healthy. Covey's a stud.
OL: Utah's starters, but it's close. BYU probably has better depth.
TE: BYU. Bushman is good, and if MLP is back it's even better. I like Utah's young TEs, but for the same reason you take Huntley over Wilson, you take Bushman over Fotheringham or Kuithe.

DE: Utah, and it's not close. Utah's top four DE (Anae, Tafua, Tupai, Pututau) are better than anyone in that spot for BYU
DT: Utah, and it's not close (but it's closer). Utah's top 3 DT (Fotu, Penisini, Tonga) are better than any of BYU's, but you have one player at least who would crack the rotation (Tonga)
LB: BYU, but it's close. Utah's top 2 (Bowen and Bernard) are both good, but if we go to the third one it's iffy. Kaufusi is on par with those two, and I like the rest of your LBs too.
CB: Utah's #1 CB is one of the two or three best players in the state, and a top pick at his position next year. Utah's NB is a top-5 NB nationwide. But the #2 CB is unknown. Still, Utah by a ways.
S: Utah. I can see why you'd pick BYU, but I'm taking Utah here too. Blackmon moving over to FS with Burgess is a good starting set. You guys are starting a player who couldn't get on the depth chart at Utah.

K: BYU until I know differently. I'm nervous about our kicker.
P: Utah.
PR/KR: Utah.

Man, maybe my red goggles are on too tight. Usually I give you guys a couple more positions. Right now I wouldn't trade units with you except at TE, maybe LB, and kicker.
