15. New Orleans Saints
(Original pick: Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas)

Re-do pick: Kenny Vaccaro

A Week 16 ankle fracture kept Vaccaro out of the playoffs, but the hard-hitting rookie was one of the big reasons the Saints made the postseason. Besides giving the New Orleans defense a much-needed jolt of attitude and intensity, Vacarro, much like Mathieu, added impact no matter where he lined up. He saw playing time at slot cornerback, both safety positions and even linebacker, and his ability to deliver a blow started in training camp and never waned.




quote:

29. Minnesota Vikings
(Original pick: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee)

Re-do pick: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma

Without Patterson to steal at the bottom of the first round in our re-draft, the Vikings could do worse than going in the direction of Stills, the fifth-round pick of the Saints who emerged as a big-play threat for Drew Brees in New Orleans. Stills had 641 receiving yards on a mere 32 receptions. His 20-yard average catch was the league's best among players with at least 32 catches this season.




If Armstead was given a chance earlier in the season, he may have made the list as well. 2013 class may shape up to be a great one.

Remember when the vets were bitching because Kenny was lighting them up in training camp?

Eric Reid should be ahead of Vacarro and Mathieu.

Reid isn't a bad pick for the draft and it wasn't a bad selection for the pro bowl. (very deserving and helps that san fran's defense gets more credibility than ours as of right now)

I think the reason why people say they still rather vaccaro is because of the situation he came into our defense and adjusted well when he was forced to play many different positions and showed the ability to play at a high level (biggest thing - doesn't miss tackles much if at all).

This. I don't understand how anyone can say Reid is the better player. Vaccaro is sooooo much more versatile and light years ahead of Reid in coverage ability. Like, how don't y'all understand this? Please just hop off of the LSU Mandingo for a few minutes and look at things rationally.

*Waits for LSU fans to get mad*
