Shawne Merriman

OK he's a local kid so I figure we have a few homer's on this board what do you think of Merriman? He look's like the second coming of Jason Taylor, he's 6'4" a little light at 245lbs but he defiently has room to put on 15 to 20lbs, he look's to me like a player William's could have a lot of fun with going after the QB.

Not worth a first round pick, even if we traded down. He's solid, but I don't think he's an immediate starter.

who is he, never heard of him

D lineman who's coming out early from Maryland.

Not worth a first round pick, even if we traded down. He's solid, but I don't think he's an immediate starter.

Not very educated on the guy. Do you think he would be worth a second rounder if we took a WR in the first?

if he is listed as 6'4" 245 lbs. he probably is more like 6'1 220lbs.

He's projected late first early second rounder. Since we don't have a second rounder... He's a solid player from what I've seen, but nothing spectacular. Certainly has the talent that could be moulded, but not someone I'd pin our defensive line woes on.

I've seen him play a lot, very fast, not a big guy obviously. Probably not worth a first round pick, but I would consider him if he fell to the second or third round.

yea he is definately undersized but he makes up for it with his speed and power

he is a great athlete, but may be more suited for LB in the NFL at his size...
obviously we are stacked at LB, but then again, should we follow the ravens "draft the best player available" strategy?
