Personally, I don't care if they are all free agents. Seventh round draft choices. As long as they can play effectively in the system, that's all that matters. And it's painfully obvious that there are players on the offensive line that have not shown the proclivity to be effective to this point in their careers.
Frankly, I don't care about a draft position for any player. Priest Holmes was an UDFA but in the Vermeil system, he was as good a running back as I have ever seen. Will Shields might have been the best right guard to have ever played in the NFL and he was a third round pick.
However, if we have the chance to draft the best LT in the draft and have a need for a LT, which I believe we do, then you do it. That's it.
No matter how good Berry is, he's a ****ing safety. And as good as he is, he didn't do anything above and beyond a number of guys at his same position in this draft.
To spend the #5 pick on a guy who will be nothing more than a roamer in this defense is a real big stretch. I like the guy a lot, but let's be realistic about this. He's a safety.
I mean, shit. One of the greatest free safeties to ever play in the NFL was an undrafted college punter who got cut his first go 'round in the NFL. If you can make a ****ing punter a world class safety, why in the hell would you piss away a top five pick on one?
