Draft-Day Storytime: DeMarcus Ware

[marionbarberthe4th]

I can confirm that parcels thought merriman was better at the time but ware would be better long term.


But it's not true that parcels liked merriman, he actually thought he was a jerk

Interesting thought.

Had we stayed in a 4/3.... who might we have actually drafted?

Ware. He played 4-3 DE in college.

That's not true.

Jerry and Stephen wanted ware because he would be in camp on time. In the past when Bryan has told this story he has sais how they viewed ware and merman the Same but stephen and Jerry knew the poston brothers would hold out with merriman, which they did.

That was what swung the tide to ware.

Thats not the only reason. The Postons were clearly a big part of it, but Merriman had some red flags too.

Nobody knew for sure Ware wouldnt hold out, but many (not just Jones and Jones) believed the Postons would hold out their clients more often than not.
