ESPN: Sport Science: Kenny Vaccaro

[Wayne02]

If he didn't go to Texas half the people wanting him wouldn't say a word. Again, there's nothing physical about him and he didn't make plays in the pass game. Well be the joke of the NFC to draft a safety in the first with as many safeties there are in this draft.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone on this board is not even from Texas and even the posters on this board who are from Texas do not all support UT athletics. Please get a clue.

He will be a Stealer.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

He will be a Stealer.

I also think he will be a Stealer, but he would be a nice pickup for us at a position of absolute need. We have alot of needs, but safety is at least even with any other need on this team and drafting a guy to come in and start at the position should be seen as a god send since we have totally stunk at the position for years and years.

 

[Sasquatch]

He might even be a steal for the Steelers.

I know vacarro will never be a pro bowl player. Unless he gets the Ken Hamlin treatment and gets in because his team is good. Not even a top 3 safety in this group. Rambo is light years better.

I wouldn't mind Vaccaro in a trade-back situation. No way do you spend the 18th overall pick on him.

Yeah that's why we talked to him at the combine, went to his pro day and brought him in for a visit - because we want to trade back for him.

Sorry, but this is just asinine. He is rated around our spot by all kinds of national guys. I don't buy the regional bias argument at all. And he covered slot receivers and succeeded. His short area quickness is elite. 4.06 speaks for itself. He tipped some balls from zones and whatnot but mostly he was always playing SS/slot/nickelback and doing it well. Elam, Cyprien, Swearinger, Reid etc cannot do that. They were all asked to play that role too.

The claim that he is not physical is baseless. He diagnoses plays quickly and he attacks. If anything the knock is that he sometimes tries to be too physical and doesn't break down and make the stop. He whiffs, he doesn't get run over. Elam is better than he in this regard as he is just a more consistent taking on blocks and tackling. Headhunting hits from guys like you see from Swearinger, Reid and Thomas are just hype. They happen 2 or 3 times out of 600 snaps and in todays NFL draw 15 yard penalties.

Reid specifically goes to the Brandon Carr school of running behind the pile rather than stick your nose in there.

You know this? The fact is we all know nothing! You can assume, but you can't know. I disagree with your statement completely.

I wish I had a list of all the vacarro fanboys. Come December it'll be all jokes how you guys are so glad we passed on that bum.

It seems like you have a personal hatred of Vaccaro or something. What'd he do to you?

I'm a Cowboy fan. I'm sick of mediocrity. Vacarro epitomizes that IMO. Has no dog in him whatsoever. I want to win

 

[supercowboy8]

I would live Vaccaro at 18 if Cooper, Warmack, are gone

Dallas most likely would need to trade up to get him. But he would be great fit for cowboys.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Sorry, but I want the #1 rated safety over the 3rd rated DL or the 4th rated tackle. Stick to your board!

what if the #1 safety is ranked below the #3 DL and #4 OT?

not my first choice but.....add me to the list.....
