Re: New Orleans Saints select Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with the 15th pick
I wasn't really crazy about this pick at first, would have liked Reid more (I'm a homer, I know) or maybe Jones but the rest of the first round was guys we didn't really need. Jordan, Mingo and the OT's worthy of a 1st round pick were allready gone.
IMHO what this pick does is give us more flexibility on the back end of the defence. I think Harper will stay at SS, he is a good tackler and is improving in coverage every year, yeah he struggles against the big, fast freaks at TE, but so does everybody else. Jenkins is the guy I think wil be moved around. He was a really good CB allthou not a really fast one, I think we will se him play a lot in the nickle this year and thats where I think he can make a lot of plays. Or it might be the opposit, Jenkins stay in his spots and we hav Vaccaro in the nickel. I like the reports of the guy having fluid hips, thats important when you have to turn and run with guys and are trying to locate the ball in the air. His 4,63 in the forty is comaparable to that of Ed Reed (4,57), Jerry Rice (4,71), Dashon Goldson (4,60) and the list goes on. Taylor Mays ran a 4,4 at the combine and was supposed to become the next great saftey in the NFL but he was stiff and immobile and couldn't play for ****. Its much mor important to have a guy with ok speed that is mobile and has a good head on his shoulders. And for you people whining about the passrush, a lousy coverage kills the rush because the QB can just throw it to the open guy. Lock everybody down on the back end and the DL and LBs rushing will have a field day. Welcome to the Saints Mr. Vaccaro! |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
