Sean Taylor, maybe, but he DIED. Even Michael Huff has turned into a pretty good player. Berry is a better prospect than Huff. I dunno about Taylor...
A risky pick is taking a quarterback who has only one year of starting experience (Sanchez) or gambling on someone like Randy Moss....which is why Moss fell. I don't see any big risks with Eric Berry.

Its not really a risk....
Its more about GM's dont think a safety is as valuable as a LT, QB, Pass Rusher....
They dont want to pick a safety high because they dont want to pay top $$ to a position that they dont think has as much impact on a game as those others.
