I have no problem with the present depth at OT, I was referring to defensive secondary depth.
Yes, a lot of teams passed on Merriman, that is why he would have been available at #9, which I believe is where Ol' Double Move got picked.
You can certainly quibble with individual examples, and I grant you that the Merriman one is the weakest, but my point was that the overall constant covering of personnel mistakes prevents the team from moving forward and getting better from year to year. It is not just plain bad look that this organization has been to the playoffs twice in the past decade.

I think people think Ryan Clark is better than he is because he's a good guy that's not here anymore. I wish we had traded down and got a pass-rushing DE and some help elsewhere (OG maybe?). I don't think any DE in this year's draft was worthy of the #6 pick.
I think we're more proactive than given credit for. And not all the other teams are as infallible as Redskins fans seem to believe.
