I think Merriman will be fine, but that pick, to me, just spells the end of Merriman's career in SD. AJ Smith will let him walk next off-season. I think English will be a phenomenal pass rusher for us, but I just don't like passing up on Maualuga and Oher.
And NE Sports Tonight will be unwatchable until August, due to Mike Felger's inevitable ballwashing of this guy.
You aren't a non-Patriot fan living in New England. These people are going to flip shit if Maualuga joins the team. EDIT: Colts' need is at DT anyways. They pretty much have to take Hood.
SD should make a move here. They've got some pieces they can add that would really help: Beanie Wells, Rey Maualuga being two :]
