re: Could've Been the Saints Getting a Playoff Win

I'm sorry, but winning a playoff game is much more important that the 13th pick in the NFL Draft

Agreed. I would take the playoff win anyway. It would add to Brees' legacy, which is important. When you have a player of his caliber you want him to get as much success as possible. Plus, you never know what could happen in the playoffs. I do believe they would've beaten the Cardinals. GB orSeattle? Likely not. But it would've been fun to at least see what could happen.

Kenny Vaccaro?

Going to hold off judgement on him for now. He was outstanding as a rookie. He played nickel, safety, corner, even some linebacker last season and was extremely productive. The biggest thing I saw out of him was how sure of a tackler he was. I think the change of scheme and having Byrd miss nearly all of the season seriously hurt not only Vaccarro but the defense as a whole. I do think KV could end up being an elite caliber safety. The defense needs a legit number 2 corner, another OLB and DT/DE, but there is some talent there to flip it around, we saw it happen in 2013.

Was Kenny Vaccaro benched this year?

Basically just taken out of his normal role, given less snaps, moved to more of a nickel player. And yes, he graded extremely poorly on PFF.
