I've finally started to come to grips with our selection, but there's still one thing that bothers me and wanted to get the boards feel.

Agree or disagree: I will be much, much happier with the pick if it means than Jenkins is gone. I guess you could say the same about Harper, but Id rather keep Harper than Jenkins.

I'm going to be very disappointed if KV only sees the field in nickel or third down situations. He's a first round pick that needs to be starting day one.

At least Harper can tackle. Jenkins can't cover or tackle

I think the pick is more of a prediction of releasing Harper NEXT season. I doubt that we release either this season (definitely not Harper due to his dead money).

I still have hope that either/both of Jenkins and Harper can be salvaged, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are both gone next season if they don't improve this season.

I think they'll be very creative to get him the reps. Maybe a hybrid safety-slot cover guy. I won't be surprised for both Jenkins and Harper to be gone in 2014. This year as much for cap & contracts they won't be leaving.

Another thing, the old free/strong safety roles and designation is quickly becoming history. It's evolving just to left and right safeties. They have to do it all, jam the box and cover deep.

I fully believe we drafted him to start week one. If we did, Harper needs to take a serious pay cut.

100% agreed.
If Vaccaro is not a starter with the two bozo's worst rated tantum in the NFL it was a bad pick.
Everyone should know by now that I never want to see harper or jenkins play at the SS or FS position again.

I think there's still hope for Jenkins at CB. I think FS is just too much responsibility for him. Harper...well we know what we have in Harper. I don't want either of them starting this year however.

If you don't use KV to get Harper off of the field, then you haven't fixed the most glaring hole in your coverage.

I'd love to know when this board got all retarded about Jenkins, he's not bad at all

I agree for the most part but I don't think they need to cut Jenkins. He does have talent. His problem is being terribly inconsistent, more on the bad side.

He would save $2.5 mil though and it would be a statement cut.

If a year from now Vaccaro is starting and a difference maker, then this pick will be viewed as a good one.

It is dumb and shortsighted to say that the success of this pick is dependent on him starting day 1
