If you want to throw last season out of the window fine. Look at the season before then when he was ranked an amazing 81st in the NFL out of all safeties (in the GW system). However, Varccaro is not a lock. No one on the D should be considered a lock. New DC with a new scheme and a lot of new players. Training camp is a long way out still so I guess its fun to speculate until then. Unless they decide to attack your weak spots and go play action... Seattle anyone lol |

CB next. all for offense and ratings. my kids will never know the way the game was meant to be played. i like Harper but he is caught up in the wrong time of the game. sorry about the typo |

Re: Depth Chart Locks
Still not getting the 'love' for Jenkins and Harper here. They are not at all smart. You can blame what you want or who you want for last season but with the exception of the brilliant play Jenkins made against Tampa Bay to stop a certain TD, there were very few highlights. Every time the ball was launched into the secondary last season I expected it to be a successful big play.
I don't for a second believe that Sean Payton will guarantee a starting spot for someone just because he drafted them in the first round but tell me this ... at #15 and with other good players at other positions of need on the board, he reaches out for the best Safety. You think he's done that just because he wants a decent close battle at camp? Umm no. He knows, as well as I do, that unless Vaccaro is simply not what the scouts saw or does something pretty stupid, he is IN. I cannot see it otherwise. |

They both played as poorly as everyone else did. The 2012 suckage was a total team effort, including coaches. Two of those coaches were fired, and we targeted CB, DL and LB heavily in free-agency. |
