I hope we draft a speedy, playmaking linebacker this year.

Like Vaccaro, but heavier.

Kinda like what we thought we'd get in Martez Wilson?

I want one too.

Also, Vaccaro isn't really a "speedy" safety. His speed is probably average for a safety. He timed about the same as Harper and Jenkins did.

Yeah, but I'll tell you...

Vaccaro plays faster and smoother than those two ever played for us...

But, it's still early, at least two more years to fairly compare...

In what drills? 40yd dash?? he sure plays more quickly than either of those seem to be. Maybe his fast-twitch BRAIN is the key...

Absolutely.

No wasted steps, no hesitiation...

Both make a 0.1 second difference in 40 yard dash times totally irrelevant.

That why a Ray Lewis looked blazing fast in his youth but only ran a 4.79/4.81 at the combine.
