How does this pick 'suck'? Most would agree he wasn't our first choice, but still a SOLID one. Give the kid a chance because he has a lot of upside and can only help a porous 2012 defense.

It's just like someone else said earlier. This is the same as the Malcolm Jenkins pick. They are probably going to try to convert him to nickel corner, fail, and then give him a shot at safety where he will be ultimately mediocre despite his athleticism.
I'm not convinced on Floyd, all those teams didn't pass him up for no reason, but we could have traded up with the Jets for Lotulelei, we knew that the Panthers would take him...Or traded down to get a 2nd rounder (and probably still been able to draft Vaccaro, frankly.) Or just taken Jarvis Jones...It isn't that I dislike Vaccaro necessarily, but there were so many better alternatives.

Obviously I hope I'm wrong, and that Kenny ends up an All-Pro, but I highly doubt it.

EDIT: Also, I was kind of drunk when I made that post...
