And to this point, he's been primarily a run defender and a liability in the passing game. I like the kid a lot, but let's not go annoitting him the next Paul Krause after one mixed rookie season. And yeah, he went to the Pro Bowl, but so did Matt Cassel.) How often has Polamalu and Bob Sanders been injured over their careers?

I've already addressed this elswhere, but I'll go ahead and touch on here again.
You ignore the progress Berry made as a pass defender because it doesn't fit your agenda.
Troy Palomaulu, Ed Reed, Darren Sharper Bob Sanders and Donte Whitner to a lesser extent belie your positional value argument.
That being said, I think center is undervalued and could get behind the idea of taking Knnz, if we could trade down.
But I also think Chris Myers or Nick Hardwick would be better options through free agency.
