A guy like Allen out of South Florida in the 5th round might be another issue.
I would like to address our QB issue (whether that means drafting someone or extending Campbell), our OT issues, and our RB issue before we address the secondary.

I don't really have a problem with Landry either, at least when we point out that there's nothing that Landry is struggling with right now that Sean didn't also have issues with during his disastrous 2006 season. Our safety play has been very poor, but I really don't feel like that's Landry's fault. He's not having a good year by any means, but the responsibility he has in the defense is so much more than any player outside of maybe Fletcher, that it's understandable if he's a bit overwhelmed.
This team needs more guys who can cover, particularly zone coverage guys given our progressing inability to play any man (especially if Smoot and Rogers both go). But one of the benefits of the uncapped year is that if we find out we have a need for zone coverage players, we'll be able to fill it without using top two round draft choices.
I guess it really comes down to Berry being an all-world player or not. It's been three years--I guess we're due to draft a safety really high anytime now...
