I agree with you, but what if we take Berry with #5 and Cam Thomas or Cody with Rd2. Address both needs. Personally Im more interested in what we are going to do with our 2nd round picks. I think that whoever we pick at #5 will give us a good idea of where we are headed in Rd 2. Just my $0.02
The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
The rumor mill is start to swirl up aswell with us attempting to put Dorsey at NT, and most likely Jackson and McGee on the ends. Which I could actually see working somewhat.. Dorsey got double teamed alot all season and still was a good space eater and was good against the run.
I agree entirely with you that Cam Thomas or Cody (or even Linval Joseph) would be terrific in the 2nd. But, rather than Berry, I think we'd be much better off getting a guy like Rolando McClain or Jason Pierre-Paul in the 1st and Cam Thomas in the 2nd. I mean, if we want to upgrade our defense, why not reach for the best ILB or OLB at #5, rather than the best safety? Adding McClain/Thomas would equal more wins than Berry/Thomas, wouldn't it?
In all honesty, I have no idea. I don't know enough about college football (outside of what I read on here and see on Path to the Draft. I think there are several options that will upgrade our defense. I hope we go on teh defensive side of the ball. Seems like a lot of our free agency moves have involved offensive players. We need help on the D and if I had to address our most important need then yes I agree it shouldt be NT or LB. As to which players they get, i'll leave that up to the people who know!!

We need an olb, an ilb, and a nt. The front 7 needs to be solidified before we consider so-called "playmakers" or "luxury" picks...
SHUT IT
McClain Yeah!!
RIP My son. I will miss you eternally!!!
Good post! REP!
I'm on the draft Berry @ #5 wagon, however...I agree that Berry is nota solution to our team's problem's, rather he is one solution moving in the right direction of solving our problem's overall...and is the best choice available to us with solving one significant problem area. :)

I saw it in the years before they got him. And they were stellar.
At that time, it was most definitely a luxury pick. But then, they were in a position to be able to afford such a luxury. And even Polamalu wasn't taken in the top ten.
Over the years The Steelers have become dependant on Polamalu because he has become a leader on the field for them.
But, eventhough they only had Polamalu for five games, are you aware that they ranked as the fifth-best defense in The NFL, as far as Yards allowed?
That's not quite what I would call "god aweful". It seems to me that they just had a hard time adjusting to not having that "luxury" and team leader out there.
