My source has told me...

Kenny Vaccaro can play. I don't understand the bust talk. Every game tape I watch on him he is playing NFL caliber football on a high school level defense. If we pick him, he will be able to help us with the TEs we have in our division. The only problem I have with Vaccaro is that he didn't seem as excited about visiting us as he was with other teams. All I can ask for a prospect is that he wants to be here and that he doesn't have major injury problems (Keenan Allen!)

[TheRoadToGlory]

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.

If this is true, I guess we have no choice but to hope a pray that Austin is still there in the first. Much rather have Cyprien, (who will definately not make it out of the first round) and it's not even close. Just my .02

This is from my draft post in the draft forum, but Elam has passed Cyprien as the second rated safety in the class and is more likely of a first rounder then Cyprien.

I think Cyprien ends up going in the late first to San Fran.

I think they'll be looking at a second round DT. If they take a linebacker in the second ill rage

I dont think we'll select one til the 4th.

[La Pantera]

Really? Is that why the defensive coordinator placed him so close to the line (practically a fourth LB), and why Longhorn fans held their breath when he played centerfielder?

Exactly.

[PantherMan89]

I wonder if this would be the case if a guy like star falls to us or just of the guys they're expecting to be there

[Kakarot]

If this is true, I pray Austin is there when we pick.

I wonder about this also, would austin or Vaccaro be taken over Star, hard to believe. What about DT, is that just a 2nd round deal??

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Your source is just someone with common sense. I could have told you that

screwed up posting

[XClown1986]

I think if Tavon Austin is available at 14, of course you have to consider him. He will contribute as a wide receiver, runningback, and return specialist, immediately upgrading 3 positions.

The Vaccaro pick I don't think is really in play as much. He may be a fall back option, but I don't see him as being in true contention at 14 with some of the other guys likely to be there. Just my opinion.

[Argus Plexus]

Honestly I would be okay with this, but the Vaccaro pick would be questionable in my eyes. There isn't really a safety in this draft that warrants a top 15 pick, so I hope to God that Austin is still available. Who better to teach Austin than Smitty himself, the man that told the whole league being short isn't such a bad thing after all.
