Page can't play SS and there's not really another SS on the roster. So the only place Berry can really play is SS with Page at FS.
That greatly diminishes one of his greatest strengths (playmaking ability).
Just another example of a poor pick that hurts the overall roster beyond the opportunity cost.

I guess that's why I'm scratching my head, too. People keep comparing him to Ed Reed, but Reed's a free safety. In fact, pretty much every first-round safety ever has been a free safety, and virtually every top-15 pick as far as I know.
It's much easier to swallow a free-safety as a top-15 pick over a strong safety.
