Great talent will elevate a unit. There is no justification for taking KV over JJ. Pass rushers are a premium. We're transitioning, we have not one proven guy, and we were historically dreadful. Where do we begin? Safety with a top 5 talent pass rusher in the board. This is why our defense sucks and why it will continue to suck.

Safe pic vs risky pick with more upside and paying 1st round money and having no second pick and JJ having possible degenerative neck problems and less than stellar work ethic in college are just a few "justifications" that come to mind.

So how do you measure how much worse Texas would have been without Vicarro?

With a top 5 mock drafter/fan pass rusher on the board. Like I said before the draft countless times, just because some stupid blogger has JJ going to the saints doesn't even indicate we have interest in the guy.

We were historically dreadful in a completely different system. In a similar system we were middle of the road(with worse players than we presently have on roster).

I will bet that our top pass rushing linebacker this year has more sacks than JJ does.
