Jackson wasn't on anybody's radar until draft day and Berry was "the guy" every one wanted in September. Picking Berry was the ultimate value pick. As far as positional value, safety is at least as valuable as a 5-tech. The case that Pioli wants to make value picks is not disrupted in the least by taking Berry, but is devastated by taking Tyson Jackson.

uh, this. most people here were worried that berry wouldn't be still available at #5, not that pioli reached by picking him.
