Merriman uses his entire body to get through ppl and when he makes tackles he aims at a point that is a foot behind his target. In a GW defense this guy could be so disruptive and would probably be a franchise player. Picks, money, it doesn't matter if this guys hits the market or wants to be traded we need to get him.

Merriman has no argument - he's in his initial contract, and as with other first rounders, his salary is slotted based on where he was selected. His day to hit the jackpot will come soon enough, although I believe that SD will give him an extension at some point to prevent him from ever testing the FA waters.
