The only part of that which is even mildly sensible is the great safties playing behind great defensive front bit, but it's an irrelevance. Berry isn't the type of player that comes along every year, maybe not once every five years. You don't pass on a guy like that just because your team might not quite be ready to take full advantage of them. You're making a decision that will hopefully have a positive impact on the team for the next decade.
If there was a great pass rushing OLB (or even a top ILB) available at the top of the draft worthy of a top 5 we should be looking at him, but there isn't. Berry is potentially at truly great player at a position of great need. Any arguement against taking him is ridiculous.
