Yeah, that is what I am thinking also. I would think Harper, only because you need your strong safety to cover more in the 34.

I'm wondering if we will see any trades from this point forward, from the Saints. I've reserved myself to the fact that we will not be picking tomorrow night. But I would like to see a very busy day on Saturday.

My assumption is you will see more blitzing from our linebackers, which is going to match up our safeties more. Again, that is just my assumption.

We upgraded our worst position on the team by far. Vaccaro could be great, could be average or could be another Harper. We will wait to see.

My question is who does he replace.. cutting Harper saves 3.5 mil...

Nice sports science vid .... good pick! The Whiners wanted him, methinks.

We needed a safety that can help us cover down field. Taking Vaccaro allows Ryan to not deviate front what he likes to do with our front 7. It's not the sexy pick quite of few of us wanted... but it's a good sound choice. Harper isn't a spring chicken anymore either. Obviously Ryan likes our linebackers more than some of you think. Let's not underestimate what Ryan could do with Wilson, Butler, and Galette.

sorry with the players still on the board i can not back the pick. besides the saints so far have not added anyone to the secondary that can generate turnovers. questionable tackling to boot? i do not get it.

Would rather have seen Floyd and beefed up the D-line.
Then again, I'm used to 4-3, we're moving to 3-4.

Still not ready to give up on Galette and some other players on this D. I think they were mis-utilized last season.... the young, strong players weren't even allowed to start!
