Kenny Vaccaro
 

Good Lord... Can we please draft this guy??? PLEASE?!?!?!

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

i wish he had better hands. thats the only thing neg about him lol

SS

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

yeah but he knew where the ball was going.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I hope we draft this guy ! Man he would be a huge addition to the secondary ! and a huge upgrade ! C'mon Saints draft him !

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

At 15? He looks promising but a safety at 15 better be the 2nd coming of Ed Reed or Troy Polomalu. I don't see it in him.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Well 15 may be a reach for him but If we happened to trade back I wouldn't mind the pick.....

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

He and Jarvis Jones are the two guys I really would love to see in black and gold next year.. and I'd almost rather KV because safeties like him don't come around too often, whereas pass rushers come up on a pretty regular basis.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Can't be any worse than our picks that have been around this pick, or higher. :roll:

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Someone please clue our scouts in to this info.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

would rather trade back and get Eric Reid in the late 2nd or early 3rd

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I would draft him and cut Harper the same day

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Looks very good. I'd be curious to know what Polamalu's or Ed Reed's measurables were. He certainly would be a very large step up from what we have (it would seem).

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I hear ya man. That's actually what excited me most about switching to the 3-4. Most of the good ones are the tweener OLB types. They should have made the switch a few years ago IMO

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Id rather get Jonathan Cyprien,Eric Reid or D.J. Swearinger later on

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I don't see why some believe Vaccaro would be a reach. Based on what? There are other players who I'd gladly take, as well, but if we draft this guy I will not be one bit upset.

Whether or not he turns out to be the second coming of Reed, Sharper or Polamalu is not something you can predict. You draft the best player at whatever position you're looking to address, and whatever happens, happens. I challenge anyone to present evidence that there is a better safety, or DB in general, in this class.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

And also, we DID pick Malcolm Jenkins at pick #14. A cornerback. Would be nice to draft a true safety to meet our need. Vaccaro fills a position of need and he's the best safety in the draft. Why the hell not???

And I mean really, we HAVE to score big on a first round pick sometime soon, right? This is the year!

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I would just cut Harper...

...so he can hang out with his friend Sedrick and hit on Applebee's waitresses while discussing their "foundations"...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I just think the kid is going to be a beast of a player ala ed reed .... I would hate to see us pass up on him...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Dee Milliner and Xavier Rhodes, but I see your point. Two years from now will anyone really care if Vacarro was picked 15th, instead of around 20th, where the "so called" experts projected him?

I think there are probably better choices at 15, but I wouldn't cry about it if we picked him. I think he's gonna be a good player. I'd prefer one of the top DE/DT/OLB or WR's, but he'd be a good pick for us.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Yeah, I'd like to have Jarvis Jones or the less experienced -but incredibly talented- Ezekiel Ansah, because I'm really itching for a pass rush.

But I'm starting to think neither of them (especially Jones) will be there. So In my opinion, Vaccaro stands as the next greatest impact player at a position of need for us. Milliner and Rhodes are good cover guys, but I like the package of cover ability and top-tier tackling skills of Vaccaro. Plus, we've already invested in a corner with Keenan Lewis, otherwise I wouldn't object to drafting a guy Like Rhodes who figures to be available. I personally have not seen a DB who has shown me more than Vaccaro, regardless of draft position.

But yeah, I don't think anyone will care where we pick anybody years from now, as long as they get the job done.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

i guess you miss the cap hit thread.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

i have as great trade down bait if he falls to us

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I've soured on him a little bit lately. He seems like he will be good but what we need in the secondary is an immediate play maker like Sharper. Trade down if possible if that is my only other option.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

The Saints need a starter at #15. If that's an OT, OLB, CB, NT, DE, WR or S, then so be it. The staff just needs to hit with the pick.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

would rather have
Could be a great SS... wouldn't mind any of the top 3 Safeties

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

still saves 3.6 mil this year... I wouldn't mind paying Harper 3.6 mil to stay at home

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Would mind or wouldn't mind?

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Edited*

Amazing how I managed to do that in two separate posts!

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

How much dead money is tied to Harper if we hold onto him this year and cut him the next?

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Trade back later in 1st & pickup a second rnd pick as well

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

2014 - 1.9 million in dead money.

Base salary, 6.0 million
Cap hit, 7.9 million

Cut would free up 4 million.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

I don't know about this dude. Things like "multiple petty arrests" and showing up at the Combine out of shape after skipping the Senior Bowl are big ol' RED FLAGS for my taste. High risk, high reward. Given our 1st round woes of the past decade, though, I would not be in the least surprised if we actually DID pick this guy up with our 15th...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro
 

Trade back and get this man and another would be better imo
