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.

Your saying Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu aren't game changers?
Yes we need help on the line and LB and if Kindle shows something he will be who I want for ROLB but for now he really hasn't shown enough. I'd also say we need another WR before a TE. We could use a better TE but you don't need a All Pro there to have a high powered offense and you damn sure don't need to spend a top 10 pick on one.
The positions you mentioned can all be filled in rounds outside of the first. Yes, Normally you don't go Safety in the first either, but when you have rare talent you make exceptions like you said these guys are studs(and to let you know I don't really like what we currently have at safety either). You don't see many Centers go in the first round this past draft there were 2 that did and 3 that all realistically could have gone in the first.
That might not be the best comparison, but the point is when there are extremely good prospects you like you take them when they are on the board. While Spikes might be good, if we were going to take a ILB that high don't you think we would have taken Curry?
