best available CB, DE, or WR at 9. if edwards or williams is there at 9, i won't complain. however, i do feel that our wr corps will be solid, and if these 2 aren't available, we'll need to look elsewhere.

Merriman is around 250 (one site had him listed at like 272!), and will be best suited as a tweener, OLB/Pass Rusher ala Chris Clemons. i would love to see him in burgundy and gold...there are several good to great pass rushers in the NFL (John Abraham, KGB, Lance Johnstone, Leonard Little, Adewale Ogunleye) who are between 250 and 260 who have thrived on their speed and power, 2 things Merriman have truly shown. however, it's a crap shoot for him to be a full time DE...
