Not with Merriman, if anything he's more of a McGinest type, plus at this point Merriman is much bigger than Bruschi. If were looking at someone in that copasity he's probably flying under everyones radar, to small to play DE, and considered to big for MLB. The thing with Williams is he likes a lot of speed at that position bulk is not as important to him, that is one of the reasons he cut Trotter he wanted a MLB that could cover, I think we will be drafting someone who fits that criteria but not a big college name.
