Eric Berry Headed to Kansas City Chiefs? by Jason Lowry

There is no question that the Kansas City Chiefs need a lot of help before they are considered a top team again in the NFL, but this team is starting to piece together some pretty good pieces. The Chiefs hold the No.5 pick in this year’s NFL Draft, and it’s very likely that they could have their choice between a number of really good football players.

The number one target for the Chiefs is Tennessee safety Eric Berry, according to Bill Williamson of ESPN. The problem for the Chiefs is there is a good chance the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could grab Berry with the third pick in the draft. The Chiefs defense figures to get better under new defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, but adding Berry could be just what this team needs to really give opposing offenses trouble.

Right now the Chiefs are right there with the Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, and St Louis Rams with the worst NFL odds to win the Super Bowl in 2010, but I feel that with the addition of Berry and a few other pieces on the defensive side of the ball, the Chiefs could make a big jump to the middle of the pack. Even then the Chiefs are still likely a year or two away from being a serious Super Bowl contender.

Nothing against Berry, just don't think that's who they take. But I've been wrong before.

I agree with you in principle, I don't believe a safety will ever fix a defense on his own, no matter how good he is (I see it as a complimentary position, even with someone like Reed or Polywhosits), but at the same time I think you have to make exceptions for special players. If there's a guy that's a once-a-decade or once-a-generation type player, it's hard to pass up, even as a safety, and many people argue that's what he is.

They also said that about Roy Williams when drafted by Dallas.

They also said the same thing about Robert Gallery and David Carr and whoever else at whatever position. What's your point?

I guess we will hope that the mass majority of the Chiefs Planet is correct and all Brandon Albert needed was just one more year in the system to reach his true potential and they solve the rest of the offensive line problems in the UDFA market like real Super Bowl teams do.

Berry this year, Locker or Gabbert next year or the year after, and I can FINALLY rest a little easier with this team.

Get 'er done.

You know, he's writes a damn novel to essentially say that Albert is not a LT and we need to draft Okung in every post.

Build the team in the from the trenches out!!!!!!!!!!! Many, many, many, many, many safety options in the draft and in free agency this year.

Pioli is way to smart to get sucked in by the Berry hype, so all of you Berry worshipers better get ready because he will not be the pick.

No, you build a team by taking the best player available at a position of need, if the two come together.

Berry, if he's on the board, will be that BPA at a position of need, and it won't even be close.
