I don't doubt Merriman can be a good player, I doubt the ability of our coaches to utilize his talents.

The problem is that Merriman is really NEITHER. Merriman is best-suited to play in a system like Bill Parcells' IMO. In fact, I think Parcells may pick him, looking at him much like he did Willie McGinest. |

It's not that Merriman isn't a good player. He's a VERY good player. He's just not the right player for the Chiefs. We have specific needs at CB, OLB, and DE and we play a 4-3 defense. Merriman is not the right player for us. |

I just don't see him playing OLB at 274 lbs and IMO may is strickly a DE when it comes to the 4-3 D. He sounds like an amazing athlete with a ton of football skills though. IIRC, CP stated after his Maryland workout he beleived he would have to play with his hand on the ground. Maybe a SSLB or MLB for us, either way he would have to drop some weight. Either that or a long term replacement for Hicks at LDE or move Allen to LE and Merriman at RDE. Not likely with the signing of Hall. I don't see him sliding to us though, no way IMO. I could see him going as high as 6th to Tenn, with Min, Wash, Det, Dallas, SD, Tex, all being likely spots as well.

I think Merriman could be another Simeon Rice. Rice was also a 3-4 OLB in college.
I think we could find a spot for him.
