He gets picked on mostly because of where he was picked. Parcells reached really high to get him. Spears wasn't in any danger of being picked anywhere near where he was. Teams generally want more from a first round pick than a pretty spare to fair player.
Legend tells us that Parcells threw a huge hissy fit when Jerry picked Ware ahead of Spears. Parcells wanted the Cowboys to use that first pick on Spears.
