(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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
