2010 NFL Mock Draft, Pick 7: Browns Select Eric Berry, S Tennessee

The seventh pick is in and SB Nation’s Browns community, Dawgs By Nature, has selected...

Tennessee S Eric Berry

From Dawgs By Nature:

As the best-rated safety on the board, Eric Berry has been a clear favorite amongst Browns fans, and would be considered a welcome addition to fill the void left by former starter Brodney Pool, who wasn’t re-signed by the team given his history of concussions.

From Mocking The Draft:

This would be a dream scenario for the Browns. Berry is arguably the best defensive player in the draft after Ndamukong Suh. Some needs for the Browns may be as great as safety, but none of them could be filled with a player as good as Berry.

From Rocky Top Talk’s Berry player profile:

Eric Berry is the total package, excelling at everything expected of star defensive backs. He’s an incredibly fierce hitter, anticipating plays to get to just the right spot at just the right time so that he can launch himself at the ball carrier with a bone-crunching, perfect form tackle. He also uses his high intelligence, game savvy, and closing speed to read passing plays and bait quarterbacks into throwing interceptions. After interceptions and fumble recoveries, he uses field vision, sneaky quick moves and angles, and pure speed to rack up yards.This would be an excellent scenario for the Browns. They’ve been looking for secondary help and most folks have Joe Haden going in this spot. If Berry falls, the Browns should feel lucky. There’s no chance he gets past them.
