I'm a USC fan, and while I never saw anything great from Mays in coverage, I'll also say I didn't see him getting beaten for TDs either...I believe teams stayed away from him, which may account for fewer pass opportunities.

He is a big hitter with a ton of speed and athletic ability...time will tell on football skills, but he is a much better athlete than Roy W. was.

He'll be long gone before Dallas picks because he is one of the rare safeties that has the flexibility to play both positions and the size to possibly play nickle LB.

Personally, I could even see him playing SS with Sensabaugh moving to FS.

Time will tell...unless there's a top notch DL or ILB, we're likely to go OL or S with the 27 pick...of course, you never know until after FA.

Your endorsement doesn't make me feel any more validated. Just like your scorn on those topics doesn't mean squat to me.

whatever man, my stance is still the same. i dont see whats is so special about eric berry. top 5 pick? give me a break.
Funny, how you think this is supposed to be a retort. No one cares what your opinion is. If you look at scouting reports on Berry he is probably the most talented Safety prospect in the last 10 years. You don't see, but they do. He had 14 career INTs, 2 Forced Fumbles, 241 Tackles, 3 TDs and 3 sacks in 3 years.

You don't see? Try opening your eyes.

All of this myopia because you like Taylor Mays? Whatever man right back at you.

Okay, you said this in response to my saying the anti-Taylor Mays stuff is overrated.

i agree 100 percent. when you arent talking TO or Romo you are pretty decent.
Yeah, no one could gather you liked Mays from that. [/sarcasm]

you win god. taylor mays will be the best safety in the upcoming draft! :bow:
I don't see what's wrong with admitting you like Mays or that Berry is one hell of a player. If I had the #2 pick and Suh was gone he would be my pick. It's a shame you can't see that Berry has a lot to offer. Could he bust? Of course, every player could. But the odds are he will be a pretty good defender. He sure is well thought of by football experts. When you say "I don't see" all you're doing is exposing a pre-conceived bias for someone else. In this case your "dog" Mays. Nothing wrong with liking Mays better, but it is stupid to downplay Berry just because you do.

That kind of crap is why people don't take you seriously.

you really think im a shock poster dont you? wow. here is the truth eric berry is way better than taylor mays! i never said he was/wasnt, i just said he was overrated as hell. i mean cmon best safety prospect the last 10 years? thats total bs. i want mays because he is a stone cold killer in the roy williams mode with more size and speed. he has no ball skills though, but i think mike hamlin will be nice in that department.

berry wont be a bust. when i say overrated it is because people are talking about him being a top 3 pick. there is no way in hell i would pick him in the top 3. he is by far a better football player than taylor mays though. doesnt mean taylor couldnt be a better fit on this defense though.

i dont see why hes so *special*. that word when given to him bothers me. when i watch him i dont see polamalu or reed. i see an antrel rolle. pro bowl caliber player but not a game/defense changer. if you think that is what he is going to be then you will be in for a surprise imo

Then you haven't watched much of him.

About 14 seconds into the film.

Even if he turns out to be Darren Woodson good is he worth that high of a pick and top 3 money?

I just don't see the value with Berry.

He has to eventually be one of the 2 best safeties in the game to validate picking a Safety that high.

I would trade out before I ever gave any rookie safety that much money.

he has the potential to be better than Darren was imo. but than again I think Darren is overrated by many here.

It's not total B/S. Look at the caliber of talent in the SEC. Look at his stats. Look at his awards. Look at his body of work and complete skill sets. He is as close to Ed Reed as anyone that has come out in a long time. He will test even better then Sean Taylor did and put up stats that you can't argue with.
