I seen several Tex games this year. Dude gives up a lot of big plays. He isn't a sure tackler. Id take all those guys before him. Vacarro is the only pick we could make, that would royalt piss me off.

He's the only safety with even close to a top 15 draft value right now.

Elam is positioned around 30th with Cyprien around 34th or so.

Your talking about the 15th rated prospect compared to two guys rated in the 30's.

It's a pretty big difference.

The only one who had a chance to catch Vaccaro was Cyprien and that was if he ran great through his drills and had solid interviews.

His drills were sub par and I haven't heard any glaringly positive reviews on his interviews either. So he fell back down into the second round because of that.

Vaccaro is an incredible tackler and play maker, I am not sure you watched enough games. He reminds me of a Charles Woodson or Morgan Burnett.

Vaccaro takes some horrible angles. I have frequently seen him run too far upfield and just take himself out of plays. Far from incredible.

Would rather take the safety that has natural instincts at the position, is a documented leader, and gan be a leader of our defense without letting people get behind him.

I know where he's rated (which doesn't mean much) that's why I think he is severely overrated. As I've said, seen more bad, than good in his play, IMO.

Ultimately I want Gettleman to put his 30+ years of experience as a talent evaluator to work and find us the BPA with each of our 5 picks... I'll trust his judgement until he gives me reason to think otherwise.

This.

If he decides on Vacarro, I'll be pissed, but I'll get over it.

Agreed. Where he is rated by "experts" and where is rated by coaching staffs and front offices could be quite different. We nor the draft analysts were in the interviews with him, on the white board with him, and weren't working out with him privately.

That we will take Tavon Austin if he is available, and if he is not Kenny Vacarro is a very good bet.

As some of you know my source tends to be very reliable and I generally only make one of these every year around draft time. Last year I was told that we were deciding between Coples and Kuechly, and that Bruce Irvin would go in the first.

Also some things he has told me:

DJ Hayden will go in the top 15

EJ Manuel will go in the first round

Matt Elam should be the second safety off the board

Keenan Allen will not go in the first, Justin Hunter should go ahead of him

The Panthers are looking at Arthur Brown/Quinton Patton/Robert Alfrod/Eric Reid/Jonathan Banks in the 2nd

Eddie Lacey probably won't drop to the 2nd

Just throwing some things out there for you guys.

great stuff. interesting that we're not looking at DT.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
