Question Eric Barry

how high will he go next year in the draft?

best talent coming out, but high can a safety go?

Eric Berry is a very good player and has unreal potential, but safetys just dont seem to be as valued as they should be. Guy def has alittle Ed Reed big play ability in him but mid-late 1st at absolute best and I doubt even that, but who knows a year makes a big difference

When the new Tennessee coach came in he announced all 22 positions would
be open for competition. After a few seconds, he corrected that saying 21
positions would be open. Not Berry.

The kid is one of the best players in the SEC. He's a player.

If you're drafting in the top 10, you have much bigger needs than at safety.

Truth is that safeties fall every year. You have your exceptions like LaRon Landry, but safeties rarely go in the top 10.

Saying that, Berry and Mays are two of the best safties coming out in years. Depending on where the Big 3 QB's are drafted (Bradford, Tebow, McCoy), both players could be in the top 17 picks.

Bradford will be the only QB in top 10 of the big three....Mccoy and tebow will be lucky to be in round 1

I could see McCoy being a top-10 pick.

Hell, I think he was better last year than Stafford.

Tebow will be a luxery pick for a team with very few needs.

Bradford is the only 1st round QB next year, both sanchez and stafford this were are far better prospects

we i think he should be based on production no doubt. But scouts will pick on the fact he runs from the shotgun, his arm strength, his height (which is not 6'3 i dont care what they list him at), and everything else. In reality he prob could be a better QB than Bradford considering his accuracy and mobility.
