Kenny Vaccaro FS, Texas

(Sure, I know there's an old thread about Vaccaro, but Im not going to use the "search button" and I dont care.)

I have seen very little of Vaccaro's college career, but have only heard good things about the kid. I have heard that he's one of the better cover guy in the upcoming draft and can cover almost anyone. "CBSsports" is a source that I like to use and trust. I just got done checking and they have this kid listed as their no.9 overall on their big board right behind Star. How good is this kid????

FS is a really big need but I dont think anyone on this forum would want to take one over an OL/DL. Though, last year Rivera did have Barron ranked higher than Kuechly and saw that FS was a huge need. If Kenny is a notch better than Barron, do we take him at 14 as BPA?

Your thoughts?

Nah. This year we have a football guy making the decision (not Hurney). One that knows the value of the big guys. Even if Vaccaro is better than Barron I'd rather the first (if not first two) pick be a trench player. I don't know much about him either, but even if Eric Berry was in this draft I'd still rather we spend the pick on someone over 300 lbs.

i think he is a decent prospect, and he has shown the ability to cover guys in the slot and TEs as well as play the deep center fielder. my knock on him is he can over pursue plays which allows him to take bad angles on open field tackles. seen some players stick their foot in the ground and make him miss on several acsions.

If we take a DT in the 1st and there was a clear BPA Safety available in the 2nd I wouldn't mind it though. Would still prefer a WR or OL, but we do probably need a Safety. To be honest, I'd love Rambo in the 4th.

Yea I agree.

I was just surprised by how high cbs had him ranked.

I also love the idea of building the trenches. Especially someone on the Dline.

Even though Vaccaro is listed very high on their board, Im not sure if he'll be taken that high. He may even fall into the 2nd where I would grab him in a heart beat.

If we could grab Rambo in the 4th, Id be very very happy.

    • Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.
    • Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol
    • Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
