With The 5th Pick In The 2010 Arrowhead Pride Mock Draft, The Kansas City Chiefs Select...

ChiefsFan90s with the pick...

Year one of the Scott Pioli era did not start out as well as plan. The Chiefs did not sign a head coach to replace Herman Edwards until February, and the coaching staff was not finalized until the middle of March. The 2009 draft class left a lot to be desired, and the 2009 free agency class was a complete fluke. The end result was a 4-12-0 record, and another top 5 pick for the third straight year. Obviously changes were coming, and the Chiefs have not disappointed.

Year two of the Scott Pioli era could not have started any better, as the Chiefs' coaching staff started looking more like the staff that reigned supreme during the Patriots' glory years. First Charlie Weis was hired as offensive coordinator to improve the 25th rank offense. Then Romeo Crennel was brought in to take the Chiefs' 30th rank defense to the next level as they began year two in the 3-4 defense. Free agency started looking like the "Patriot Way" too, as the Chiefs went for the unsexy, cheap, but very solid; effective players. Expect the 2010 draft class to be much of the same, the picks may not be sexy, but they all fit Pioli's "Right 53".

So with the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft the Kansas City Chiefs select...

Star-divide

Eric Berry, defensive back from Tennessee. By now, there probably is not much that can be said about this player that Chiefs' fans do not already know about. Pioli's draft history would suggest that the Chiefs would more likely use their top 10 pick on a player along the front seven, Berry is the best player available, and more importantly fits in the "Right 53" that the Chiefs are looking for. So for the second time NFL history, Pioli will use his top 10 pick on a defensive back (The other being Antonio Langham back in the 1994 NFL Draft.).

While some could argue that Dan Williams and Rolando McClain would make more sense with Scott Pioli's draft history. Neither player possesses the skills that Eric Berry can bring to the playing field. Berry is a fast; versatile player that could play FS or CB; he has...

  • The agility to take an interception all the way for a touchdown.
  • The shiftiness to cover the faster receivers in the game.
  • Has excellent speed to close coverage, making it hard to beat him for a huge gain.
  • Great set of hands for a DB, finishing with 14 career interceptions, making tons of plays; doing an excellent job securing the football.
  • Good balance while dropping back into coverage.
  • The ability to get good replacement on the football; even though he does the best leaping ability.
  • The ability to play in "man-to-man", or "zone" coverage quite well.Excellent angles in his pursuit to the football.
  • The ability to create plays in run support.
  • Does not have the best size, but extra work building up his strength will make his 5'11" frame a nonissue.
  • Solid but not great tackling skills, and never shys away from contact. He could use some improvement in this department.

The pressure will be on Eric Berry to succeed in the NFL, and while he will most likely never become the "god-like" safety everybody is hyping him up to be, but Eric will be a future Pro Bowler, who will keep his mouth shut, and will give it his all on the gridiron. With Flowers, Carr, Berry, and Page in the backfield, the Chiefs will have defensive backfield that will cause chaos for years to come.

Yea

I believe that the objectivity of this draft has been skewed towards the Chiefs picking Berry and that Berry supporters may be setting themselves up for draft day disappointment. Although each of the top 4 picking teams could make a case for taking EB, I would wager none of those drafters took him (consciously or unconsciously) because of the fear of an AP backlash. I think that TB is the most likely to take him, while the Lions may surprise us all and pass on Suh to grab EB. The way many have been talking him up, you would think he was Tebow God. If he is as good as they make him out to be, why not take him at number 2 or 3? My point being is that the flood of Berry worship on this site recently may have skewed the picks so that EB was still available when the Chiefs pick at 5. That being said, I think each drafter has done an excellent job making the case for their picks and that my claims may be completely wrong. I try to stay grounded in reality and would fear the backlash on AP during the draft if we do not get Berry. On a side note, I think that EB is the best pick for us, however, my gut tells me we won’t get him and I am trying to temper the disappointment that draft day might bring.

by chiefsandcigars on Mar 18, 2010 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

If Berry goes to Det or TB, it would be a great thing for the Chiefs

Then one of the top four prospects will be sitting at five:

-Suh
-McCoy
-Bradford
-Okung

I know how everyone has talked about needing a QB for trade bait at #5, but anyone of these guys should actually get the trade talks moving. Especially with Needy Cleveland, Seattle and Oakland sitting right behind the pick.

There’s no way that KC would take Bradford or McCoy. And they will probably lay off Suh unless Crennel believes he can play NT. Okung is the interesting guy, but the draft is loaded with OT’s this year. If KC is really targeting an OT, they can wait on the position.

In the scenario where Berry is off the board KC could trade back a few spots and target either McClain or Earl Thomas.

I’m okay with that

by mushin on Mar 18, 2010 12:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

I would be ok with it too.

Of those 4, I dont see KC taking anyone but McCoy. If he isnt there, than they will either be desperate to trade down or will be forced to take a reach. I don’t see Pioli following the rule of just taking a BPA just to take BPA.

by chiefsandcigars on Mar 18, 2010 12:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

McCoy?

why would KC take mccoy? A 1 gap DT?

and trade him later on. worst comes to worst he becomes our new starter.

by davidhusker on Mar 19, 2010 8:19 AM CDT up reply actions  

Again I fear what AP will be like if we dont get EB

There will either be a backlash against the team that steals him from us or against Pioli for passing on him when available. I think Chris and Joel may have their hands full.

by chiefsandcigars on Mar 18, 2010 12:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree

Suh or McCoy

These two may make it easier for the Chiefs to trade back. Elite defensive linemen are few and far between.

My thoughts exactly

I think McClain almost fits the mold more of the non-sexy pick, but possessing the qualities of the “right 53”

by Chiefs n Chopper on Mar 18, 2010 10:39 AM CDT up reply actions  

to an extent

mcclain is still a sexy pick, just not as sexy as he’s not suposed to go that high.

by Leaf on Mar 18, 2010 11:23 AM CDT up reply actions  

I wrote that section last week, with the thought that Berry was going to be gone by the #5 pick.

Was ready to draft McClain, or Williams, but Berry fail in the Chiefs’ lap. Main thing, he fits the “right 53”.

by ChiefsFan90s on Mar 18, 2010 10:46 AM CDT up reply actions  

I hear ya

And I’d be fine with Berry, but he is possibly the sexiest player in the draft. I don’t really know much about the kid’s character but I had some doubt about him being part of the “right 53” after hearing his combine interview. He comes off as really cocky, though in other interviews I’ve heard he doesn’t come off quite as cocky. Who knows.

I agree Pioli is going to try to trade down, and hopefully he can. The only problem I have with the Berry pick is there are several potentially great safetys in the draft. I wonder if it might be a waste picking Berry so high if they are able to trade down and take whoever else and pick up a safety with one of our 2nd round picks.

This guy is def apart of the right 53

Outstanding guy on and off the field. He is vert studious in the film room and in the classroom. This guy is passionate about football and it shows. He’s very confident in his ability and he works hard to be the best. If there is a player thats apart of the right 53, its Berry.

If we trade down and pick up another 2nd 4th/5th, Earl Thomas is the guy. He’s another ball hawk that i would love to have on the team!

by Larryemcdaniel on Mar 18, 2010 11:00 AM CDT up reply actions  

I dont think Berry is the sexy pick

I think okung is. Everyone has him going to the chiefs. Its the guy who "fills a need", "makes the most sense", is the "key to cassels success". If Berry is there at 5, he is simply the best player available that fills a need.

Perfect pick, and perfect explanation

You didn’t reach, and you took the best player on the board that filled a need. Job Well done! Some people will not like this pick, but stay strong. Gone are the days where a safety doesnt belong in the top 5. Eric Berry is 1 of the 2 best players in this draft, and to get him at 5 is a steal!

by Larryemcdaniel on Mar 18, 2010 10:40 AM CDT reply actions  

Ooooo that berry-bubble-bath felt sooooo good....Mmmmm

Well, the only way I see that we don’t take EB is if we trade down to get more picks…which is entirely possible. I will be surprised if Piolee reaches for someone who isn’t an instant impact player this year and I agree…Berry is the only impact player on the board that we still need….

YAY! I like this pick…nice work!

Yes to Berry. No to Bryant.

I’ve been a strong supporter of Eric Berry for along time. The BPA, in my opinion, and really fills a need. Dez Bryant doesn’t fit the “right 53”, from what I’ve heard from him, and I think he is T.O.‘s illigitimate son! Not only that, but WR’s are becoming a dime a dozen, as are RB’s, in the draft, and you have a real good shot a grabbing a great one in the later rounds, as the past few years have shown.

Yes, please.

I will take Eric Berry. He is the best safety I’ve watched in college since Ed Reed. Good tackler, great in coverage, good speed, good instincts, doesn’t take plays off…. I don’t know that he will have an Ed Reed-type dominance from the safety position, but I think projects as a Brian Dawkins talent at least. If he fulfills either of those, he is absolutely worth this pick.

I think the Chiefs have picked up enough offensive line help to be able to wait on a pick there. I think if Okung is still out there, this could be a tough call though.

Seriously that glimme of hope I’d all but gone, dumbass Seattle traded for Charlie" haven’t thrown Real NFL pass"Whitehurst, and are paying him 10 mil over 2 years and swapped picks in the 2nd with SD and to top it off gave them a 3rd. No one will trade up with KC for QB, Seattle will take T-Rex buluga, so we are stuck at 5 Now, and the pick better be BERRY, I Like Williams and McClain in a trade down but it just won’t happen now, sucks cause I would love the extra picks but the pick will be the BPA which is EB, IMO they best player in the draft.. Get a Tate/ C. Thomas in the second and Mr. Spikes will be there in the 3rd.

I thought the same, but now I have changed my tune.

think about it, now the 6 pick is labeled as the “qb pick”…the “trade pick”…but the problem is, there will be multiple teams, so the issue for seattle will be that pioli may take LESS to jump up a few slots to 5, leapfrogging the “obvious” tradeout…

Good pick. Hopefully your right, and like many others, only way i see this not being the case, is if a trade down happens… Either way nice decision and explanation. Only thing I dont agree with is his tackling, it seems he tackles pretty well, but I have only seen so many games of him so i couldve missed some “Mike Brown” tackles…

Agreed.

If the Chiefs don’t trade down, and Suh isn’t available, then Berry’s is going to be our pick.

The Chiefs are interested in him, and it makes the most sense when you look at how the FA has played out. Berry fits the mold as a right 53 player, as he’s just an all around smart, talented football player.

At this point I’ll be surprised if we don’t pick him.

?
who is Eric Berry?

Jamaal Charles...Enough said.

Seriously though...

Great pick. He is going to be part of the right batch of players that Haley speaks of. He has a great skill set and will be the BEST PLAYER on the board after four picks. Unless Suh somehow slips.

Berry

This is to high for a safety. Polamalu went #16 and Reed was #24. The chances that Berry will as good as either of these guys is very slim….they are first ballot of famers and they do not grow on trees. The game is played from the offensive and defensive lines out and we would do well to continue to build these areas. I believe that Suh is one of those players that you take even if he doesn’t “fit” your scheme perfectly. If he somehow falls to #5 you take him. If not we take Okung and go on about our business. Okung and Alberts compete for the LT spot. The “loser” of this competition is our RT. Lilja, Weigmann and Waters are in the middle. We can address safety in the 2nd round by taking Mays or Thomas (I happen to believe that one of them will fall into the early second). If not you have Jones from Georgia or how about a little local flavor with Stuckey at our 2nd pick of round 2.

I'm glad this was brought up

I wasn’t planning on providing a pic either.

The pic did not make it through the attachment?

I hate it when pics don’t send with the attachment. Anyways, here is the picture that was suppose to be on the post.

Great write-up but...

You should have also mentioned something about his ability to play at such a high level and not commit penalties. He was only flagged for a penalty ONE time in his 3 year college career!
