re: Official 2013 NFL Draft day thread---New Orleans Saints War Room

Vacarro is better than Reid.

Trade next year's 1st for Floyd!!!!!

Everyone calm down... Everywhere I have looked has Vacarro being a stud. He will do well for us!

Uh oh... Entering the Te'o zone

I'm glad the Te'o zone didn't include New Orleans

Now I remember all you bastards bitching about safeties and when we get one you bitch. This dude could be pretty good. Give him a chance. Jesus

Two separate NFL scouts say Florida DT Sharrif Floyd is overrated, with one going so far as to call Floyd a media creation. It's worth noting Floyd had only 4.5 sacks in three college seasons. He's been touted hard by Greg Cosell, Mike Mayock, and Daniel Jeremiah, among others. "Those idiots on TV made Floyd," said one scout. "He's not that good. He's not better than Ziggy Hood." Asked if the Warren Sapp comparisons are valid, another scout replied "No. There's none of that. (Sapp) was just was more gifted than Floyd. Floyd is a good effort player. He's got shorter arms than (Sheldon) Richardson, and I think it shows. He gets kind of Velcroed on blockers."

Sounds like we're getting rid of Harper for Harper

does he drop 12 INTs per year? If so, we just cloned Roman

What I just saw. San Fran dropped to 18 for a 3rd rounder. No value this year. Saints would not have gotten a 2nd. So they took BPA on their board.

Damn sounds like a Roman Harper clone

Pros: Dynamic run tackler and slot defender who really excels in the front half of the defense. Jumps routes very well out of the slot and covers from tackle to tackle in motion. Shows a smooth backpedal and hip turn no matter where he's covering. Comes down to the line like a rocket from deep coverage to help on running plays; this speed also shows up when he has to jet to either sideline to help out with tackles. Excellent at trailing and mirroring slot receivers into and out of their routes. Covers speed slot receivers very well; help his own against West Virginia's Tavon Austin. As a tackler, has tended to go for the kill shot too often, but is learning to wrap up nicely in space. Extremely rangy player who will make plays other safeties simply can't -- he's very tough to elude between the seams. Has the speed and aggressiveness to blitz off the edge.


Cons: Plays a very high number of snaps and tends to wear down over time as a result -- late in games, For all of Vaccaro's dynamism, he needs to get it under control on the field at times. Tends to bite on his keys and will get lost regarding what else is going on. Struggles with angles and placement at times in the run game and will get easily blocked out as a result. Tends to bite on fakes and counters and has to use his estimable recovery speed to bail himself out. Though he can play deep halves, Vacarro isn't strictly a side-to-side burner in pass coverage -- it takes him a step too long to get to the sideline to help cover. Can be taken out of his game at times -- tends to be too emotional on the field. Tendency to aim himself like a rocket could see him on the wrong side of the NFL's discipline.
