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.

Odd that he timed slower than Jenkins and Harper in the 40. I didn't know that.

Easy to see on his highlight tape, he's constantly chasing after ball carriers and not in good position to make a tackle
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

I am not sure of MJ's 40 time, but watching him chase down that receiver was something to remember and that doesn't surprise me (without knowing his time). Harper, I am surprised by.
