In the past 5 years how many times has the top 2 safeties been a bust? How many times has the 4th ranked pass rusher been a bust?
In the past 4 years how many players we picked in the first round that turned put to be a 1st round caliber ?

I seem to remember Vernon Davis mauling Harper all game in 2011 playoffs
^ that's not a problem right?
or this little observation from the Seahawks 2010 playoff game:
Love his blitzing ability, but our safety play has been atrocious at best.

Roman Harper’s bad day: We talk about technique all of the time—footwork, hands, hips, etc. But as a DB in the NFL, your eye placement is crucial to making plays. Especially as a safety, the first step to any play in reading your keys—because they tell you where the ball is going. Three plays for Harper: the double move from TE Camron Morrah, the TE fall “throw back” and the deep 7 route to Brandon Stokley out of the “spot” combination (Flat-Curl-7). Those are plays you can’t give up in the post season and expect to come out with a win. Use your eyes, read your keys and understand what the formation alignment is telling you. That’s part of the NFL.

If you can't generate any pass rush , Revis Island would look like harper out there

Having a pass rush won't give them the coverage skills they lack. It helps obviously but they can't cover in a passing league...that's a problem

It works both ways. Pass rush helps coverage but coverage can also help pass rush

Let's not forget that this was only the first round.

some pass rush + a good cover player is more efficient than a decent pass rush and no cover skills imo.
I have faith in our 3 pass rushers, I think they'll shine and we'll have a 10+ sack player this year

I don't mind the safety pick, but the depth at safety in this draft seemed to trump using 15 for Vaccaro. I'm sure they did what they wanted or were able to do, but if it was possible they needed to trade down and could have targeted Elam or Reid and added a pick. Obviously I don't know what the hell they tried, but Vaccaro IMHO was not far and away better than the next 2-3 safeties especially considering he has not been evaluated as a ball hawking safety which is something the Saints have sorely missed since Sharper. I think Reid projects as a Darren Sharper style safety, and would have loved to see Reid in the black and gold.
Here's to hoping Vaccaro proves me wrong
Saints should seek a quality tackle moving forward. Protect Breesus.
