It doesn't say much to your argument, though. Earl Thomas is probably the best safety of the post-Ed Reed/Troy Polamalu generation. Saying we may have drafted him over Berry isn't really a slight on Berry.

This solidifies what I stated in my initial comment: Eric Berry is overrated.
He's a fine player and appears to be a good person. But his salary has never been justified and he's not a game changer on the field.
