I think beefing up the front 7 is more of a priority as it can cover for the back end more than vice versa.

This. NT play effects the play of every other defender. Jones had a down year without competent NT play, Bailey was inconsistent at best. The edges suffer for obvious reasons, and if the rush suffers, the db's suffer.
Berry covers up a lot of messes when he's healthy, we know this. Might just be him knowing the defense and calling coverages so other players don't need to think so much, and they can just play, but whatever it is, there's no reason to think Murray isn't a better safety under Berrys leadership. Everyone else seemed to be.
