Berry is more polished and slightly better in run support. He is also smarter and very high character, a natural leader. (not that Thomas is a thug, just haven't heard as much GOOD as I have regarding Berry)

That said, he isn't leaps and bounds better but he is better. They both should have very productive careers...

In this years draft, the dropoff after those two was massive.

Another point worth mentioning.

Thomas was by no means a bad prospect; in any other draft he's easily the first safety taken. But with the very real injury concerns and the fact that he is physically less projectable and doesn't have quite the work ethic/character strengths that Berry has, he was pretty clearly not quite as good a prospect as Berry.

I see Thomas as a Donte Whitner type whereas Eric Berry could be Ed Reed. Donte Whitner is a very good player and nearly any team would be lucky to have him, but Ed Reed is a superstar.

Physical attributes, leadership ability/intangibles and respective roles in the defense.

Thomas was allowed to play a pure CF and ball-hawk. Berry was asked to do quite a bit more for the Vols. He essentially doubled as a linebacker for the squad in run-support.

Berry has a far better football frame. He's built thicker and he's been far less injury-prone. Thomas is a fairly slight guy for someone that's intended to be a safety in the NFL. I can't see him avoiding missing a handful of games every year with the physical toll that safety takes on the body.

Thomas has had some work ethic worries whereas Berry has one of the best makeups in the draft. And there's the Longhorn factor.

Berry gives more versatility as well, can play both stron and free safety.

Nice breakdown, DJ

It is a valid question, don't mind all the hate, OP. The tards that are getting angry at the question are just angry they don't know the answer....anyone who actually was confident in the answer would simply just answer the question.

The tards that are getting angry feel deep inside that Seattle may have had the draft WE wanted (okung + thomas + more)

what's really funny is that he loses rep every time he negs people: his carry almost no weight, the people who rep him back have heavier sticks. he shoots himself in the foot every time he negs somebody.
