That's your opinion but the NFL has drafted 'scrubs' in the first round before. You could deny it but it's true.

Vaccaro is a solid player who's being overhyped. His off the field issues and tackling liabilities have him in the high risk territory.

Vaccaro is not overhyped nor is he a high risk. Lol Vaccaro is probably the safest Safety in this draft.

[carolina-chuck]

I must be dumb! Cuz I wouldn't touch him. I'd take several safties before him.

I guess you are then

I like a few more DTs than Sly at 16. Sheldon could very well still be on the board at 16.

Vaccaro is not overhyped nor is he a high risk. Lol Vaccaro is the probably safetst Safety in this draft.

I support this

Meh...oh well. Guess we'll see.

Jenkins was a legitimate prospect who was stellar CB. The difference between him and Vaccaro is that Jenkins wasn't overhyped. Thomas, Cyprien, Rambo and Swearinger can do what Vaccaro does in coverage and tackle. So no thanks to Vaccaro at 14th. We're looking for a SS, not a FS anyways.

Then prepared to be disappointed. Getts ain't drafting a CB in the first two rounds. Hell, he might skip that position altogether. Take notes to how The Ravens and 49ers got to the Superbowl (the trenches).

Vaccaro is not "limited" to FS only. He's been projected as both a FS and SS. Research it.

I agree with the tench statement.

I don't understand why u are saying that we need a SS and implying that vaccaro can't play SS. Hes the most versatile safety In the draft. Can play FS SS nickel back and probably corner better than our cb's. so yeah that's another reason I like him.

Also he isn't over hyped.

The thing with Jenkins was Bc of his off field issues he wasnt hyped up enough.

[carolina-chuck]

Vaccaro being a safe option would require him to be a good tackler with an above average IQ, leadership qualities and focus.

He's average to mediocre in those areas.

He's a good tackler. He just take poor angles at times and that is very correctable at the next level. Vaccaro does everything we'll. He also is a very good blitzer.

[chubs2496]

I have. Vaccaro was placed close to the LOS whenever he played SS.

I wonder why...

I'll tell u why. Bc Texas's defense was terrible and he was brought up to stop the run just like we use Godfrey to do the same here

[chubs2496]

No he's not. Fans like yourself keep saying that but Cyprien, Rambo, and Thomas played every position Vaccaro played in 2012 (FS, SS, Slot). So again, how is he the most versatile safety in the draft?

Jenkins was beloved here. Everybody wanted him. I don't see your point.

U brought up the off field issues for vaccaro. That's why I brought up Jenkins. I wanted him with our first round pick not our second.

And it's just my opinion on vaccaro. Just like u have yiur opinions. I also like cyprien just not as much as I like vaccaro

[carolina-chuck]

In what sense is he a good tackler? Vaccaro fails to wrap up his target properly which is why RBs and WRs broke his tackles or ran past him with ease. He strives in the box, that's all. If you place in a traditional SS role, he'll struggle to make plays against the run.

"Highly aggressive run defender. Flies to the line in run support, demonstrating a physical pop and generally reliable open-field tackling skills. Possesses the long, strong arms for the drag-down tackle, as well as good closing speed in pursuit and on the occasional blitz." -CBS

"Solid open-field tackler, uses great effort and his upper-body strength to drag down ball carriers. Strong off the edge as a blitzer, has bend to turn the corner and gets physical with running backs standing in his way." -NFL

If Vaccaro thrives in the box, isn't that what a SS is for? Lol

[carolina-chuck]

See but Vaccaro's issues go beyond off the field too (forget about the arrests). He showed up at combine out of shape and his leadership during some of worst defeats in Longhorn history was called into question. Vaccaro lacks maturity, fortitude and control in crucial moments. It's why I prefer to go with plenty of other safeties in this draft.

You praises JJ even with off field issues (marijuana, kicked off UF, and multiple baby mamas) but you're killing Vaccaro with an arrest?

[carolina-chuck]

Yes, as a SS, not a LB. Review the tape. We're not gonna place Vaccaro that close to the line to pamper him and leave our CBs without over the top help.

You're just coming up with reasons to tell you to not like Vaccaro over your favorite guys. I tell it like it is by not being bias. I love Vaccaro, Cyprien and Elam any many many more guys. I'm not settle on just 1-3 guys. I'll take one of the three any day. And I'll be damn happy if it was Vaccaro.
