You could snag a Nose with that 2a pick (maybe)...
And by then you'd have significantly addressed the defense.
Opens that 2b pick up wide to just about anything.

I agree. I am totally sold on Berry. Yet, I would take getting both Earl Thomas and, for example, a top RT or ILB for Berry. Yes we need playmakers. No, I don't want quantity over quality. I put to you all that quality still exists in the second round. It is not like anyone is saying trade down to collect 5 picks in rounds 4+. That is where you get part time players, back-ups, and such. No, you should get a starter every time in the first two rounds of this draft (if Pioli has any skill).
If Berry is a 9 (on a 1-10 scale), I think Thomas is maybe an 8. If you can also get a top three rated WR/ILB/RT/TE/OLB as well, you might have two pro Bowl players on your hands (maybe three if you get another high pick too), rather than one.
I'm also starting to think that Clausen is going to slide to #30. If so, let's use the extra picks to trade up out of round 2 to get pick #29 and snag him too.
