Nothing against Berry personally, but I HATED the pick.
It is very simple... which position historically has had a greater impact left tackle or safety? The Chiefs were in a position to draft a franchise caliber left tackle and passed.
Berry may end up being the next Ronnie Lott but that won't do anything to protect Cassel's blind side.

Why should you hate the pick? Historically, 20 years ago, this pick would have been a waste, becuase back then, passing was really not the norm. More of running teams, with setting up to pass.
20 years ago, safety wasn't considered a important position.
Now, it is starting to become a important position, because teams today are fielding 3 WR's or 2 WR's with a very good TE in the middle. That's why safety is important because they are now being asked, not to support the run, but they must also be able to cover.
And as far as Cassel's blind side, we have a LT. Jesus, how many times do we have to tell the true fans, that we have a LT? His name is Brandon Albert, and he will be just fine in the LT spot.
Yeah, he struggled early to mid-season last year, but you should also note that his play was showing positive progress during the end of the season. It's also noted that he had a fantastic rookie year as well.
I'm not one bit concerned about Albert, and I think the guy will deftinaly suprise alot of people this coming season.
