But But But But he is a play maker. Great article and great find Coach. Thanks for posting it.

I wouldn't boo his selection at 5 nevertheless I'd like a safety out of this draft if not him.

Haha, I was just discussing that article with some people. The funny thing is I know Eric Berry would have to amount to Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu to turn our defense around, but I want a playmaker back there so bad that I almost don't care in a way because great safeties are so exciting.

Bulaga is the safer, boring pick, whereas Berry is the exciting pick. I still think Bulaga will be the pick, and I don't really have any problem with it.

I read this before and is the basis for why I don't think Pioli is going to take this guy.

Of course, this all could be a smoke screen to throw other GMs off on what our pick will really be.

I agree with everything said, except the article leaves out one crucial part:

there is likely to be NO player on the board at #5 who is deserving of a top five pick.

With Bradford, Okung, McCoy, and Suh likely gone, you are staring at Brian Bulaga as your pick? THAT guy is a top five draft selection? really?

I know safeties don't go top five, but neither should unspectacular players. If no one is deserving of that high a pick, then should the chiefs should select the best overall (undeserving) player, which is clearly Berry?

I don't know.

If no trade happens, and Okung is off the board, this could be crazy.

I agree that there probably is not a player left that is worth the money we'd have to pay,but still think Berry is the safest pick.

I would like to see clausen there for trading power,if we don't take Berry.

this is stating the same thing that everyone else has for the last month and a half...hardly original

Yes, but the truth none the less. We will not be drafting E. Berry.
