Re: New Orleans Saints select Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with the 15th pick
Vaccaro (6-foot, 214) was a 32-game starter for the Longhorns, leading the team in tackles (107) as a senior and finishing his career with five interceptions to go with four forced fumbles. Despite average long speed (4.63), Vaccaro displays outstanding range and man-coverage skills on tape, in addition to aggressiveness in run support. He jumped 38" vertically at the Combine and showed splendid short-area movement with a 6.78 three-cone drill. Vaccaro has an NFL-ready skill set because he can cover one-on-one and guard the deep half as a single-high safety. The Texas products' specialty is lining up against mismatch targets, whether it be quick slot receivers or larger tight ends. That will certainly help in a division which features Tony Gonzalez and Greg Olsen.

I like the pick, and glad to see it. I wanted Jones, but this still puts a smile on my face

First thing I noticed is very slow to the ball and has attitude problems (pushing after the whistle) Massively underwhelmed with this pick, lets hope he can prove me wrong |
