Sporting News' draft expert Russ Lande has Berry rated as the number 3 cornerback. Apparently he thinks Eric's not gonna play safety in the league.
(Not here- 2010 Draft Watch: Top 10 cornerbacks - Russ Lande - College Football - Sporting News that was in September.) I'm referring to the current issue.
IMO, we skip on a QB this year, build an OL through draft/free agency and look for a new QB in 2011. If we draft Clausen, I am going to be unhappy.
But we need someone to compliment Landry and EB would be perfect.
I don't understand why I keep hearing that Berry is being looked at to play Corner. He is a pure safety. I also believe that McClain is the best LB in the draft. These players are "evaluated" too much and too in-depth. Sometimes you just have to look at results on the field, not draft a guy higher because he runs a 4.4 rather than a 4.5 (Al Davis).
True it really hasn't been the same since Taylor. I thought the skins would be projected to take a tackle first though since Samuels is done. Haha why are you not a Clausen fan?

People will continue to debate the merits of taking a safety so high, but Berry is an exception to any rule. He could be the next to join the class of true difference-makers at the safety position with the likes of Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed (the most frequent comparison) and Bob Sanders. Berry is outstanding in coverage and far more physical than his size would indicate.
He is too small, imo. I know I know a small qb just won the Super Bowl. Honestly... I would be more happy if we drafted Tebow to complement Campbell/Cooley/Davis (red zone package) in the later rounds than take Clausen. I like and think Dan Lafour (sp?) has a greater upside than Clausen. (Going out on a limb here)

And from everything I hear, you need someone to replace Landry, not complement him :birgits_giggle:

Third to the Bucs. Or somebody should definitely be fired down there. I mean seriously, are they trying to get the team moved or something?
