Vaccaro vs Reid Tackling

[Tobal]

I like everything about Reid but his tackling. He hammers people but watch where his arms are. I didn't watch all his games but his highlight reel made me shudder with the way he goes for the big hits and doesn't use his arms. Is that just occasionally? If he tackles like that all the time he's gonna give up big runs to some of the bigger RB's TE's and WR's in this league.

He's got good length and he was great as a Jr. I think he might have more upside, but I think he's got more bust postential also.

I watched all Vaccaro's games, but even his highlight film is a bit boring, but watch how he wraps up when he tackles. Texas was a horrible tackling team last yr, Vaccaro was the only one making many tackles for them.

For me it is Reids lack of coverage skills compared to the rest of the Safeties he is near the back and would be a liability in the redzone.
Vaccaro is nothing to right home about but he can cover for at least 20 yards, and he has great hands(think miniDez like). I think his tackling needs improving IMO.
DJ Swearinger is someone to keep an eye on he will be available in the second round and the differences between him and Vacarro are minimal IMO, he will need a strong coach as he has a little showboat in him.

Love swearinger! It's about time we get somebody on d with showboat in them.

Yeah, we need some attitude.

I still love Elam (just a pet cat I guess), particularly in round 2 if he's there.

I'd take him as well. Always around the ball.
