Who should we draft 1st?

Don't get me wrong, Berry will help, but the key weaknesses to our defense last year was that we both sucked against the pass and the run. And safety or no safety, I don't give damn who you got back there, if you can't get to the quarterback or stop the run you ain't fielding a good defense. Bottomline.

I'd be happy w/ Berry. But Id pissed if the chiefs didn't get another OLB to go w/ it and a couple of ILB's or NT.

Im a firm believer in a good front 7. Chiefs severly lack talent upfront. And also OL. If you have those two, everyone elses job is a heck of a lot easier and your team can do more things by being creative.

*But Im just being me, I value linemen a lot more than other positions. Thats just me bro. I just think linemen and linebackers set more of an importance and serve as better examples out there that overall make your team better.

You are absolutely correct. Berry alone won't fix everything, but a nose and some backers can be had with our other picks in this draft. There is some good value to be had.
