Bengals
Steelers
Rams
Cowboys
49ers

All wanted Vaccaro, the kid can play.

Now, come on Jamie Collins

as long as he plays faster than he times. that was mentioned to me about him

If he can catch this guy, I'm not worried about his speed.

Drafting Vacarro was the smartest thing they did. They now have two safeties that can come up and play man to man against the tight ends and slot receivers of the NFL. This guy is a sure tackler and turnover machine, which we were lacking in both areas. Dude is a playmaker.

The void left by sharper may have just been filled.

Thats the feeling I'm getting from this aswell

I honestly think our defense is going to be solid. Atleast enough for Drew and the boys to score 30+ and laugh
