(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.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
