The Cowboys Select....

[garyv]

If you were picking for the Cowboys and all three players are on the board would you select: Merriman, Ware or Spears and who would best help the Cowboys right now?

 

[Nors]

I want DJ first if on board

ITS AN OBVIOUS TRADE DOWN

Merriman/Ware/Pollack same player

Spears/Travis Johnson similar 3-4 DE's that can plug in DT in 4-3

Get 2 of the above and translate trade down pick into ILB - Ruud/O Thurman

With second - WR/TE - Heath Miller - Roddy White - Terrance Murphy

4th Ryan Moats RB
5th Chris Canty BAR BOTTLE CATCHER
6th - Anthony Bryant NT
7th - ERIK PEARS OT

Of those three I would select Merriman but I believe Jeff Ireland loves Ware. If I were a betting man I would bet that Ware is our choice at #11.

If Mike Williams is not there at 11 I would try to trade down. Especially if those 3 guys are all there. They are interchangeable in some ways. Move down, add a pick and take one of them later.

Ware. SPears would be available at 20 and merriman is an athlete, not a dominating player.

 

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Based on what I've seen. I'd go with Spears over Ware.

 

[te0002]

Trade down. Merriman is more athlete than football player, Ware is too raw to be good value at 11 and Spears lacks consistency and is too light in the britches to be an anchor on the DL

 

[Qwickdraw]

I have to say I like Merriman's broader range of versatility and more likelihood to be a "catalytic" player.
But when it comes down to those 3, I'll let BP make that decision for me.

 

[Portland Fanatic]

Merriman

 

[Hollywood Henderson]

Its tough to say, I think I am leaning on Ware, although Merriman could become dominate as well with Parcells taking over on D in his 3-4...

I think Ware has that very rare size speed ratio that OC's would have to fear...

Ether however are impact players who can kill QB's...

I think Spears would be good value at #20...

I am still wanting Bullocks with our 2nd...

 

[RoysAHitta]

merriman..

Trade down. Merriman is more athlete than football player, Ware is too raw to be good value at 11 and Spears lacks consistency and is too light in the britches to be an anchor on the DL

How could someone who's 6-4, 300lbs be "too light in the britches"?

 

[Rack]

If all three of them are there (and they probably will be) then I'd try like hell to trade down.

 

[Pointguard01]

I trade down and hope that Ware is still there wereever we trade down to. In terms of who I like, I'd go Ware, then Merriman, and finally Spears.

 

[kartr]

Merriman is bigger and almost as fast as Ware, doesn't take plays off like Spears and hits like Roy Williams and he can play three positions.

I think you have to take Merriman based on potential
he has too much size, versatility, speed, and athleticism
then you have to take Spears
because he has a lot of versatility, freakish size/athleticism combo
then Ware
because he played second tier talent, is strictly a 4-3 speed rusher (probably not an every down guy) or a 3-4 OLB (which are a dime a dozen)
Ideally, you trade down a few spots, pick up another day one pick, and take whomever is left of the three a few picks later...

that said, I still want MW first, DJ second, and then one of these guys third...
