Do some of you guys mean to sit there and confess that you actually sit down and WATCH the draft coverage??? HOLY $%#@! I was going to watch it, but I had some paint I needed to watch drying. I hear crazy stories that you can wait until that night or, if you must, check on the internet from time to time to see who has been drafted. Maybe that's was just a rumor.

Yeah, I know they got a safety this year. I was saying Detroit will probably stink again next year and get the first pick again. Not sure Delmas is in Berry's league but that was a good pick for them and he might very well start next year.

I watch maybe the first 20 picks and then tune back in when my team is about to make their 1st and 2nd round pick... possibly 3rd.

Or if I think a Vol is going to be drafted soon.

You'd have to be the best safety of all time to be the #1 pick. that just doesn't happen in the draft. But I say EB could be Top 5 pick and without a question a top 10 pick

Right after I typed it I realized that I typed it. I was talking about Western Kentucky and that damn blob thing, and I was all about Western for Directional Michigans, apparently...

That is some hard, frustrating television watching right there. What I don't understand is why they take so damned long to make the picks in the first 2 rounds. It's not like they don't have a list of guys they want if they are available. I suppose the teams are holding out in case some other team calls them up with a sweet trade deal or something. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

And to listen to Mel Kiper drone on for hours and hours...oy vey!

Hopefully he will be a tope pick in the 2011 draft, not 2010 if kiffin gets things going right, maybe national title run in two years???

Ok I have a suggestion. We're all aware that Robert Ayers was drafted by the Denver Broncos right.... and we heard over and over again that Robert Ayers is considered a special player by many NFL teams because he can play both DE and LB (3-4 and 4-3 shemes). So with that said, I think it's a fair statement to say that when teams need an impact player in the secondary who can play both CB and S that both fall in the same catagory for that particular team.

Also, I'd like to add that if in fact the Detroit Lions do end up getting the #1 overall pick in next years draft I can guarantee that they WILL NOT select Eric Berry as the #1 pick. Guaranteed. Reasoning is, we know for a fact the Detriot WILL NOT select another QB, in this case most likely Sam Bradford. So instead they trade their #1 pick to someone like Washington or Cleveland who might have the 4 or 5 pick maybe even a pick in the range of 6 - 10. Then that is when someone like Detroit would go after Eric Berry. Highly rated QB's are just to important to teams in the NFL because they are the most important position on the field. When you have that #1 pick you can do so much with that pick. If Detriot has the #1 pick next year I will Guarantee that they either take on Offensive Lineman or Trade the pick and get the best Def. player, whom ever that might be.

I think the thread-starter may have misheard Mr. Kiper. DRLOOMIS, correct me if you heard a different clip, but I just listened to a podcast with Kiper and McShay, and this was the actual exchange:
Kiper: How about Eric Berry, Safety From Tennessee
McShay: Stud
Kiper: Is he the next Ed Reed? We'll watch him. Everybody is going to be talking about Taylor Mays. Taylor Mays goes back; he's the big safety -- maybe a little too big. But I think Eric Berry is the next Ed Reed. We'll watch him.

Complimentary? Yes. But not a prediction that he is going to go number 1.

I'm pretty sure the question was (on NFL Live atleast) "Who at this time, do you think will be the #1 pick in next years draft." So while he never actually said "Eric Berry will be the #1 pick", he does think that though.

4/21 is a bit misleading.

Why stop at 21? Why not 20? Why not 19?

Perhaps because, in 1988 (21 years ago), 2 safeties were drafted in the top 5. Outside of 1988, a safety in the top 5 is pretty darn rare. Using the past 21 years is awfully convenient for your argument.

No position on defense is drafted in the top 5 with less frequency than safety. And only centers, tight ends, and kickers have been drafted in the top 5 fewer times than safeties.

The bottom line is, it doesn't happen very often.

If there ever is a year for it to happen again, it will be this year. Berry and Mays will be the 2 highest rated athletes in the draft and will both be top 10. Depending on need and the frivolous nature that is the NFL draft, they could both easily be top 5 picks.

Ed Reed is easily one of the top players in the NFL in the past 5 years. Hopefully Berry can be in that company one day. He has the ability and aptitude, but Reed has proved himself year end and year out. What's the joke?

It would be nice if he did go number one overall, the last time we did have a Vol that went number was none other than Peyton Manning. But my safest bet would be in the range from 3-5. Aaron Curry was the best defensive player coming into the draft last year, if Berry goes this year he'll be the best defensive player if not the best overall athlete. Go EB.

there is a difference between the #1 rated prospect on his "Big Board" than being drafted #1 overall
