The only way we draft him is if both DT’s are gone. And starting to ? Mccoy his bench press was weak, he played in a passy happy conference and only had 6 sacks. Bu tanyways back to Berry if the Dt’s are gone then we will trade back and hopefully take Dez Bryant but that is just wishful thinknking we will probaly trade back and take the 1 year wonder kid who benefited from playing across from slevie in collage pierre st.paul

From Peter King:
If I were an NFL team drafting high, I’d be very careful evaluating Eric Berry.
The Tennessee safety, obviously, is a rare prospect. But the history of safeties in terms of longevity and greatness at the top of the draft is very shaky.
The nature of the position is smallish people throwing themselves around like linebackers, and that doesn’t lend itself to long careers. The three best safeties to be drafted in the past decade — Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu and Bob Sanders — have missed 78 games due to injury in their 21 combined NFL seasons.
Berry looks like a top-10 pick, but the team that takes him is going to be picking against history. Of the five top-10 safeties this decade, none has had franchise-player impact: Roy Williams (Dallas, eighth overall, 2002), Sean Taylor (Washington, fifth overall, 2004), Michael Huff (Oakland, seventh, 2006), Donte Whitner (Buffalo, eighth, 2006), LaRon Landry (Washington, sixth, 2007). Taylor might have had franchise-player impact if he had not been gunned down three-and-a-half years into his career. But overall, the position justifies the caution lots of teams are taking with it.

We won’t even draft him then TJ , becuase if both DT’s are gone , it means Sam Bradford is still on the board.
Some team is going to offer us a deal we can’t refuse to trade up at that point . Actually , I think this may be the best case scenario for us .

Radio Mushmouth, the more I look at the talent which will be available in the 2nd & 3rd rounds,the more I agree with you. I am beginning to hope the Rams DON’T take Bradford.
