2007 two offensive tackles were taken prior to "generational" talent safety LaRon Landry.
I don't think that it's much of a stretch from a historical perspective as well as a positional value perspective to see the Chiefs take the third best offensive tackle over the best safety.

Considering Berry is seen as approximately a once-in-a-decade type safety, there's no historical significance to that at all.
Jesus. Listen to yourself.
Put it this way. What would your reaction be if Clausen supporters made the hypothetical of "If Clausen and Bradford are both off the board, we should draft leFevour at 5!!!"
You'd rightly laugh at that idea, as we are all rightly laughing at your dumbass idea.
