Where they are with those players is moot.

Bad choices has little to do with having a good process to get the best value available.

However if you need to know:

Merriman:
Ave 14 sacks a season his first 3 years with the Chargers.. for a reference right now that would put him 4th in the NFL and above Clay Mathews. Merriman was in the top 10 in sacks all three of those years and lead the league in sacks in 2006.

Since our sack leader for 2012 was Cam Jordan with 8 I would take Merriman and 14 sacks in a heartbeat.

Kaeding is a place kicker and I am not sure how you want me to describe that value.

I would say the Chargers may have actually gotten the better deal.

To make that statement you are saying that Eli Manning is the only reason for the super bowl wins? Your telling me that one player traded for after he was drafted won those super bowls? Their defense had nothing to do with it?

Eli has two Super Bowl rings:
2007 - 16 ranked defense in points per game, and 4th best rushing team in the league.
2011 - 6th ranked defense in the NFL
