Merriman & Ware are not really good fits in GW's D. Not that he couldn't find a way to use those guys, but both are not ideal down linemen.
We'd lost Smoot that offseason so I agreed totally w/the rationale for picking a cb. Plus, all 3 of those guys - Rogers, Jones & Rolle - were rated as future #1 corners.
You can look back & say w/the Rogers pick that we didn't get the best player, but we surely dodged a few picks that are now looking close to bust status. Remember how many people here kept crying to pick Williams?
