re: Simple question about Vacarro

To answer your question, I think he is a top 15 prospect in this draft, maybe even as high as 12.

decent starter
that would be an upgrade. Tony Gonzalez is still running free in the Saints' secondary as we speak.

If we're going on strictly tape.. TM7 is a top 15 player

15th best player in this draft
You keep saying this.
If the 15th best player were a RB, and the previous 14 were picked, would you have had the Saints pick a RB?

So who do you think was the better players available?

I don't think you know what BPA means.
It doesn't mean that they rank players 1-1000 and just pick who ever is left on the list.
They rank players in tiers and groups. When a tier comes up they assemble the players within that tier, rank them, then use fit, need, character, etc to pick the player that bests suits them.
If he's the 15th best player in the draft is irrelevant. FWIW, he was top 20 on literally every reputable draft site I'm aware of.

You didn't answer his question.

I know I realized I won't get a straight answer. Was hoping for a level headed responses so I can watch the games where Vacarro stood out and you say that kid is gonna be special.

I wanted Jones as well but the front office made the decision Vacarro was best for this team. Just wanted to fell better about the pick and the more games on YouTube I watch, the more I didn't see what the fuss was about. I've seen two other safeties play better this year. But like I said haven't watched all the games and want to know which ones to go watch and focus mainly on Vacarro.

He's a hitter and won't drop the obvious interceptions you need in the nfl. Will pay dividends year one.

But look at his value chart Damnit.
He has a chart.
It shows values.
It shows what to do.
With values assigned to every fricking position.
