Berry was going to have to be the second coming of Ronnie Lott to justfy that selection.

Pioli drafted almost every player a half-round or full round ahead. He took low positional value players with his top picks all the time.
Do you really think he drafted Berry to become Ronnie Lott? Or did he draft Berry, like he did Tyson Jackson, Arenas, Asamoah, Hudson, and the list goes on because they were the best safe guys on the board? I'm going for the latter.
