Well, I went back and looked and it would've been impossible unless we traded up for him. He went early 3rd round a few picks before the Saints selected their second overall pick in the 3rd round (we didn't have a second rounder). Even if he fell to us in the 3rd, I doubt we would've selected back-to-back DBs since we had just acquired Keenan Lewis and drafted Vacarro in the 1st (which was a slam dunk). So yah, it's nice to think about...but I think we can all agree Mathieu wasn't worth trading up for at the time.

If we Drafted again (and still wanted a safety) I'm sure we'd get Vaccaro. Guy brings a Tempo to the Defense and is a more all-around type Safety, which is what Ryan wants. If we wanted one just for coverage I bet we'd draft Reid

Honey Badger out for season.. may impact this.

Mathieu in the city of NO, bad idea. He is in the perfect place for him and obviously it shows.

Vacarro is better and has less a supporting cast than Honey Badger has...

Bring in a more effective, less expensive vet than Herper or Jenkins and then you'll really see that secondary take off...

Mathieu may be lost for the season with an ACL, so there's that...

If Vaccaro doesn't get it, then it should be Kiko Alonso or Sheldon Richardson...
