We could easily get Eric Berry people.

Our first and Martellus Bennett to the Browns for their first round pick pick.

They need offensive talent and let's face it,MartyB is a luxury and we have gaping holes on our team. I understand the running game blahblahblah. Iupati will fix that.;)

Would you guys do this trade?

no, the reason we have gaping holes on offense is because of the two TEs with bennett and witten. and not just blocking, but matchups, forcing a LB or saftey out of the box to cover bennett. bennett has paid dividends already, although he doesn't have any catches. JG is using him to dictate matchups.

so now, you got something that works. you want to break it because you like the thrill of the draft. you like an unknown better than a known. you must be a gambler.

You say Marty B's a luxary we can't afford, neither is Eric Berry. If we trade up that high we need an OT

I'd love it if he dropped that low, but he won't.

Until top draft picks become affordable without crippling a franchise, you stick where you are or move back and acquire more selections.

Besides, OT is going to need to be our target with Flo regressing.

Wow. Berry is not a luxury. He's a necessity.

Leonard Little went in round 3.

Dale Carter went at number 20.

Robert Ayers went at number 18.

Albert Haynesworth
went at number 15

Shaun Ellis went at number 12.

Jerod Mayo went at number 10.

John Henderson went at number 8.

Jamal Lewis went at number 4.

Reggie White went number 4 in the supplemental draft.

Heath Shuler went at number 3.

Peyton Manning
went at number 1.

I'd rate Eric Berry right behind Peyton Manning, and I'd only do that because Manning has the advantage of being the QB.

Berry is one of the best players I"ve ever seen. He's a lock top 5 pick, and I think he's the best player in the country. He could go number one, but a safety probably will not go that high. He will be the best player on some boards for sure. Ed Reed talks to him on the phone and says that he admires his game. Berry is a very humble person, and an elite, elite football player.

The team that gets him, if he stays healthy, will get a Hall of Fame player and person. Berry will redefine the position, because he can do it all. He runs like a deer and can cover man to man (WR or TE) He has great range and elite instincts. He's a ballhawk and makes plays on the ball and will run it back on you in a heartbeat. His ball skills are elite. He doesn't interfere with the WR. You can play him in the slot, in the box, or deep. Berry is a sure tackler, and he hits like an elite linebacker (see Dick Butkus). If the ball is on the ground, he will find it and pick it up and go.

Berry has two younger brothers, and he says they are better than he was at their age. The recruiting war is already on for them between Tennessee and Georgia.

Monte Kiffin has played Berry close to the line of scrimmage this year. He's played some CB, too. Berry hasn't lived deep in coverage like he did his first two years. That is why his pick total is so low this year. He's playing close to the line and blitzing more. He forced a fumble at the end of the game today and gave the Vols a chance.

I don't want to trade Bennett, but I do want Berry. I know the Cowboys need some LTs, too.

Berry was ready to play in the NFL as a true Sophomore. If he stays healthy, he'll be a 10 time Pro Bowler and Hall of Famer.

Mays could slide to 15ish. I think Clausen, Locker, Bradford, Okung, Davis, Spiller, Bryant, Cody, Mgee, Suh, Mclain, Berry, and Haden all go ahead of him. Hes not having a big year.

and you provided a very nice list. now do you seriously want me to give you a list of can't miss prospects from the past drafts. the questions one must ask is what will he bring to the table? how much better can he make us? you proposed a trade and in a trade you are giving up something, is the something you are giving up more than you gain.

again. you finally got something working. but you can't stand prosperity. you want to break it up because you like the thrill of the unknown. you like the guessing of the rebuilding. you like the thrill of guessing.

Cant it just be about getting a great safety?

We traded Fasano for a 4th and took Bennet in round 2. Was that about some underlying necessity to gamble, or about getting better?

I've been waiting for a guy like this to come along since Woody left. Mayes or Berry I'll take either. Pipe dreams but the Zone is
a place for that kinda delusional optimism.

Necessity? How many teams have one SBs with out Eric Berry? How many HOFers attribute their careers to Eric Berry? He may turn out to be a great player, possibly the best in the draft, but to say he's a necessity just isn't true
