He was a mediocre corner and the #6 pick for someone with his character issues and amazing 5 career interceptions is very overpriced.

Have you ever seen Pacman when he was with Tenn? The man was a as close to a shut down corner back then as you can get. He took receivers out the game. Jesus Christ!

Vaccaro is not anywhere near the same league as Keuchly. Vaccaro, in my opinion, fails the "eye test." He does not look like a first rounder.

Keuchly was widely considered the best defensive prospect in the draft and this was supported by impressive game footage and stats. Vaccaro does not have impressive stats nor footage - in fact, it seems his best attribute is his "aggressiveness."

I am all for aggressiveness so long as it is smart and within the rules of the game - I do not want an immature kid that is going to draw penalties.

Rated high and projected to go in the draft is two different things. Who's the no.1 rated prospect in this draft? Chance Warmack. Where will he go tonight? I don't see him going top 10. I've seen many projecting Cooper to go ahead of Warmack.

Positional value plus team needs and the type of scheme a team runs also works into that equation, but when a guy whose overall skill set at his position has him ranked the #5 prospect selecting him #9 is hardly considered a reach.

I pretty much agree with everything Zod says. Star and and Tavon Austin will be long gone by the time Carolina picks. I think it will come down between Sheldon Richardson and Kenny Vaccaro and I'm praying to God for no trade downs.

Should I say, "Kuechly was drafted higher than many expected" compare to calling it a "reach" for you to be happy?

Now you get it...

A reach is someone who is normally someone who was drafted MUCH higher than expected like when the Vikings took Christian Ponder.
