Commander of Awesome;861083 wrote:Well they do play different positions and as noted earlier Ward had an extensive injury history in college. Ward plays SS where Berry is a FS. I'm not familiar with their depth chart well enough but perhaps they already had a solid player at the SS position, or felt that FS was a bigger need/worthy of a top 5 pick. Or they could have thought Ward was a better player but since he's had so many injuries they dropped his stock because they were afraid of him being injured and not on the field. There are many reasons other than the Chiefs thinking he's better.
In all reality, now that they've both established themselves as starters and lynchpins of their respective defenses for years to come, it doesn't really matter who was drafted where because both players were really really good last year and will probably anchor the SS position for the AFC Pro Bowl roster for what is hopefully many years to come.SS Eric Berry
FS Jon McGraw

I think i would take Haden/Ward > Berry.

Commander of Awesome;861184 wrote:Hmm interesting. I'm surprised by that. You would think with his athleticism he would be a FS. I recall them even saying that he could transition to CB because of his cover ability.

If not, I use www.chanfeed.com (formerly atdhe.com), and if that doesn't work p2pfire.com is normally my last working resort.
