final prediction for #21

I don't understand why Merling is the popular choice. Some draft boards have him falling to the bottom of the 1st round because of his injury/risk-factor. On the other hand, our needs on the o-line are at least (more IMO) pressing than d-line, Cherilus looks like he will prolly be available at 21 but nobody here wants him. Is this kid considered a dud? I think every board has Pitt taking him at 23. Is that because he has a connection to the coaching staff or is expected to fit their system better? Anyone?
