Eric Berry

Safety, Tennessee Volunteers

Few teams will be hurt by this SEC re-distribution draft than the Kansas City Chiefs. Many of the team’s best players have SEC roots. They also don’t own their first-round pick in this re-draft. Apparently Roger Goodell is making the Chiefs and Houston Texans suffer for trading up to draft franchise quarterbacks last spring.

Since the Buffalo Bills still don’t really know what they are doing, they find themselves picking in the top-10. The Carolina boys of head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane look at themselves in the war room and think one thing: defensive backs.

The Bills will use the No. 10 overall pick to get the best playmaker in this draft on former Tennessee Volunteers standout free safety Eric Berry. This addition makes the Bills better and the Chiefs so much worse. McDermott and Beane have never been happier about a pick in their lives.

Then again, ballhawking isn’t part of what it takes to win in frigid Buffalo. When it snows, it’s time to pound the rock. Fortunately, Berry is just an all-around amazing defensive player. He’ll find ways to make big plays now that he’s with the Bills. Does his arrival translate to winning? That’s debatable.

They have become the new epitome of 7-9 BS. The New Orleans Saints are now on the clock…
