We have picks later in the draft that can help with the Oline we don't have to have two tackles that were taken in the top 15. We can easily get a RT in the 2nd or later, same goes for the other line positions if we haven't gotten some serious help from FA already.
NT again can be filled by a less risky player later in the draft. Second or possibly 3rd round, and this is the position that will make the LBers better.
If Kindle has a huge year, I could see going with him to get us a pass rusher but as it stands why not go for one of, if not the top 2 players in the draft. Berry is a game changer and Mays has the potential to be regarded as one of the best at what he does. Spikes is good but like Tebow is a product of the Florida hype machine not a top 10 talent in this draft.

As long as you are happy with Demarrio then I guess we're good. And when has a safety been a "game changer?"
Look, I've got no problem with either Mays or Berry. Both are studs. But they are playing a position that is even less important than RT or MLB. That's a fact. And for you to devalue the OL or LB to the second round and beyond, but still hold up the SS position as a viable top five pick is bullshit.
And if we didn't already have competent safeties (regardless of the recent GoChiefs anti-Pollard campaign), I'd be right there with you on Mays or Berry. But it's obvious that this team needs help at other positions besides safety with their first pick. Pollard, Page and Morgan are all young and have talent. They could benefit from better coaching, but it's not like they are completely devoid.
You can't tell me that the LB spot (MLB or ROLB), RT/RG/C or TE spots don't need more immediate help than the safety position.
