New Orleans Saints select Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with the 15th pick

ok i did some home work

i trust my texas alumni family and friends that are die hards as all texans are.

It might not be his hands. they pointed more than once we will watch balls slip through his hands and drop to the turf. It is more a concentration issue, he seems more worried about what he is going to do after the int than making the int. his numbers should be a whole lot better.

yep been on the phone. other than that they like the pick for us. putting that texas loyalty aside. just give him a few years is the overall verdict and with coaching we could be very happy

At first, I wasn't too overwhelmed by the pick of Vacarro but based on what players were available and the fact that he is the best at his position in this draft, I'll take it.
With such a terrible defense, I had hoped that the Saints could have grabbed a player closer to the line. Also, I wonder what the NFL teams know about Floyd that we don't?

Healthy throughout his college career and a solid player. Welcome aboard, Kenny!

I was hoping for front 7 also, but we did add Butler and Coleman, and Hicks, Galette, Jordan, Bunkley and Wilson all seem better suited for a 3-4 than a 4-3.

I can see a big space eater DT available in the middle rounds, as well as some more LB/DE prospects.

I think quite a few of us felt that way. Nonetheless, he was one of the two guys that were at the top of our draft board(per Payton). So not only was he considered BPA, he also addressed a position of need. Sure we all wanted our own guy, but the pick is definitely a winner.

I think Floyd's drop had more to do with teams going after specific needs than Floyd's ability. Just go through any draft analysis, everyone is commending what the Vikings were able to do. The first DT went in the mid first round... which is pretty atypical for the norm. 6 OL in the first 12 picks, 1 quarterback in the first round, no runningbacks.
