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.
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.

I agree about the value of a pass rush, and that the Saints defensive personnel have been dreadful, one fact remains:
If we had a safety that could have held Vernon Davis to....say.....150 yards, the Saints win a second Super Bowl or at least play in it.
Same for 10. We have a safety who can cover John FREAKING Carlson and not get suckered in by his flops, who knows what might have happened that year? They could have beaten the Bears and then get ANOTHER NFC Championship at home after the Falcons choked.

Didn't address the point at all. That's fine, I'm glad people are excited and I really hope RR can make the unit significantly better, but pass rushers will always be more valuable unless they're a scrub.

That's a bold prediction. Putting JJ against the field is weak but I'd take that bet.
Our LBs will too tired to rush the passer after the first quarter. Making all those tackles 5 yards from scrimmage wears on you.

3 unproven guys versus a highly touted prospect who dominated the nations best conference.
