Pioli showed last year he isn't scared to "reach" for a player he believes will help the Chiefs. Many "experts" had Jackson going int the teens somewhere, but Pioli took him 3rd. Berry is another popular option, especially by a lot of fans, and he does fill a definite need for the Chiefs. While athletically he is a superior athlete, I am by far and away more impressed with what McClain brings to the table. I agree ThuderChief.

Chiefs obviously need more help on D then O, especially right up the middle. NT, ILB, S. Think bigger, faster Ray Lewis.
