There is no justification for taking KV over JJ.
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?

No risk no reward. The entire draft is a risk. Pass rushers, especially productive ones like JJ who played against pro talent, are infinitely more valuable than safeties.
I like KV, he's an upgrade but you have to look at the opportunity costs. If he's Ed reed and JJ is a bum or even middle of the road, ill gladly eat some HP

If you sent KV to Georgia and put JJ on Texas. Do you think Texas' defense would've improved? If yes, ask yourself why.

Safe pic vs risky pick
every player drafted has some measure of risk attached to them. Different organizations calculate such risk in different ways. demarcus ware was a risk at 11. Played for troy for fricks sake. Jason piere paul was a risk at 15. mingo was a risk at 6. trading up to get MC at 6 was a risk. apparently the steelers didn't think the risk for JJ was too high two spots later.
And where in the world does the stuff about JJ's character come into play if it's being compared to KV? do you all view him as a saint? He's a class a douche, who regularly got into altercations on 6th. He's always had a huge ego and has never been much of a team player. And even IF he has a better work ethic in the weight room, etc, athletes have physical ceilings. I'd be more optimistic if he was a junior, but he's been in an nfl strength and conditioning program for four years at texas. He's not going to effort himself into going from a 4.63 to a 4.5
