Merriman/Spears
Thats what I'd have Done. Ware is a smaller back that could develop into the better edge rusher. Merriman is a bigger trweener and just turned 21.
I think Dallas got wind of the agent thing with the Postons and changed their mind.
I don't blame them one bit, and I'm more than happy with Ware.
Merriman came out more polished, but Ware is going to get bigger in the offseason and come into next year much more comfortable with his new position. I think he has higher upside than Merriman, although both will be good players.
Even if Merriman does turn out to be a slightly better player, I think its splitting hairs to say Dallas should have done this or that.
