The Chargers have Jammal Williams, who is by far and away the best 3-4 NG in the league. No other NG draws constant double teams and triple teams on passing plays and stunts as much and as effectively as Williams does. From there, they also have Luis Castillo who is an incredible DE who can also pass rush, almost like a Richard Seymour type. Overall Merriman is a good player, but he's really the 3rd best defensive player on the Chargers squad and he's not nearly as versatile as Ware. If we drafted Merriman instead of Ware, my guess is that his sacks would be around the same as Ware's right now because we simply don't have a Jammal Williams or Luis Castillo on defense.
