And to whoever said they would rather have Meriweather and Mayo over Woodley and Harris, you really don't know much about football. Woodley, is a great passrushing linebacker and Harris is a borderline pro-bowler.
Meriweather is a middle of the pack safety. I can provide a list of better safeties and Mayo had a good ROOKIE year. He's terrible in pass coverage and when he's asked to rush the passer can't.
That was me who said I'd rather have Meriweather and Mayo over Woodley and Harris. So I obviously don't know much about football, compared to a genius like you.
First, I said I liked both Woodley and Harris. With that in mind, Harris mainly a 2 down run stuffing SILB. Mayo had, as you admit, a great rookie year, and he's been injured this year. I reserve judgment on how he will turn out, but he is a 3 down player for us and a defensive captain in his 2nd year, and BB values those things very highly.
Woodley would have been a fine pick instead of Meriweather, but we had a severe need at safety at the time. And anyone who calls Meriweather a "middle of the pack" safety really doesn't know much about football, to use your words. He's not Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu, but he's one of the better free safeties in the NFL right now and has been our defensive MVP through much of the season.
As I said, you're not interested in rational discussion. You just want to throw insults at people so that you can hear yourself talked about.
I'm done wasting my time with you.
