re: Bear with me. Is it possible the FO thinks we have good pass rushers already?

I saw him play a lot and I just disagree with this pick, this high, especially with the way the game is played and the other needs we have

I've watched a ton of him play as well. And he's pretty much known for his coverage ability as a safety. His only true knock is his inability to be that premier, turnover causing, disruptive safety that you would want in a first round pick. Aka, a player that was not in this draft.

The way the game is played?

Other needs we have?

Vacarro is a matchup dream as a defensive coach. A guy that can play the run, and match up against the slot, and can cover the field. We had the two worst safeties in the NFL last year, and we drafted the best safety in the draft.

Matt Elam is 5'10, and a hot head. The guy caused about as many penalties as he did big plays. He's flashy in college because of his small size, and big hits, but he's going to be a liability in many ways on the pro level. You aren't putting Matt Elam on a Tony Gonzales for instance, lol.

THAT'S who you liked better? Who did you think was there for our pick that made so much more sense?

Reminders, we were last against the rush, and second to last against the pass. We drafted a guy that can play the run, and can cover. I feel like I'm in an alternate universe reading so much of this.(not just you AnotherR, I respect your opinion, just disagree).
