My source has told me...

The bad part being that he sucks/overrated and there are several Safties further down the board that are better.

Same could be said for Austin.

I hope we don't take Austin. Taking a career slot guy would be pretty stupid.

I'd rather have Cyprien or Austin over Vaccaro. However he's very similar to Keek. Bright spot on a terrible defense who gets things done.

I didn't even read your post. I gave you pie and rep for this.

I love you Verge! I've actually been looking forward to this lol.

Looks like I've been wrong on the prospects, but that's ok. I trust the scouts and I hope they get their best option(s).

If he's as good or better than Welker, i'd take that all day long. Could he bust or be an underachiever? Sure! I don't think he will. I think he's the biggest play maker in the draft. Also think he'd be a safer pick than Vacarro. If he can be a weapon that the D/ST always have to account for, then its well worth it. Tavon may also be BPA.

BTW,Tavon has played all over the field not just as a slot guy...or RB. And he'd do the same here. Just move him around to create mismatches.

Anyone else have a bad feeling Austin will be gone?

I still would rather have Patterson, but Austin wouldn't make me mad at all. Vaccaro would.

Easily

I don't think so. He'll be there at 14.

Bill Polian was just on the Mothership channel and he views Austin as a potentially dominating player out of the slot.

So that would make Mayock, Polian, KIper, McShay and a crap load of others who not only love Austin but Vaccaro as well.

I think it was Mayock last night saying you have to watch Vacarro's 2011 film to see his coverage and back-end defense which he said was stellar.

I see the same missed tackles and poor angles everyone else sees with him as well as the flash plays from youtube highlights. Mayock said that the coaches wanted him to play in the box in 2012 bc the run defense was suspect and they liked Vaccaro's blitzing.

Honestly I have only watched one actual game in 2012 and 2 in 2011 but never saw Vaccaro stand out.

I will go by the guys who watch film and evaluate the specific skill set and Vaccaro has the prototype Physical size you want in a safety.

I choose to believe! (because I want the General). :)

I fully expect him to be

[saX man]

Chargers and Jets could take him, a team could trade up ahead of us thinking we're the one's likely to get him, and hell, maybe the Jags stay the Jags and take him at 2 haha
