Ware 4 Season in the NFL sacks 53.5 age 26
Freeny 7 Season in the NFL First 4 season 51 sacks last 4 seasons 30.5 age 29

Peppers 7 Season in the NFL First 4 season 40.5 sacks last 4 season 40.5 Sacks age 29

So you're telling me that you would rather take 2 DE that even in their prime couldn't put the numbers Ware has and are 3 years older with injuries and obvious have worse numbers in the past 4 years... please don't run for GM

Speaking of pure sacking ability, Ware has an advantage that the other two don't have in that he can be lined up against weaker tackles as a LB, and oftentimes, come totally unblocked.

Now, I don't speak for GMScud when I say this, but if the argument is "building blocks", I'm taking the 26 year old with Ware's pass rushing ability. That's easy. Of course, the fact that I can find better players than Ware in the NFL makes that sort of irrelevant. Suggs is 26, for example. Mario Williams is 25. Merriman is 26. Gaines Adams and Chris Long are younger guys who have the potential to reach that level. Orakpo is a green-ass rookie, but same deal.

Of course the thread is about NFC Building blocks. You need to take Haynesworth. And you need to take Tuck. Those are the best defensive lineman in the division. And honestly, how many pass rushers are going to be on this team of ten? Sure, you could use DeMarcus Ware as a super-pass rusher, but then you don't get to pick a receiver, or a runningback, or a corner, or somebody who makes a more balanced team. So it's perfectly defensable to leave Ware off the list without disrespecting his abilities.

It's not as defensable to be ignorant to the fact that the guy has noticable weaknesses.
