I thought that Reid was the top safety in the draft, or is Vaccaro overtaking him for that spot?
I wouldn't mind taking a top talent safety either. Someone who can protect the middle.
Vaccaro has excelled in every aspect of the game all year long. Reid has struggled in coverage without Mathieu and Claiborne helping him out, and he hasn't made as big of an impact as some have hoped. He's still a very good safety prospect...just not the best one anymore. Vaccaro and Matt Elam (Florida) have eclipsed him as better prospects. Nothing shameful about that.
By the way, I had to laugh at McShay's draft. Jarvis Jones and Manti Te'o out of the top ten is ludicrous; I think Jones, in particular, will go top five. The Chiefs are not going to draft Lotulelei to play nose tackle with the number one overall pick when they already have Dontari Poe, who they just drafted the year before. They need a quarterback more than anything else in the world; there's no way they can sell fans on Matt Cassel/Brady Quinn for another year. If anything, they'll trade down and take a quarterback then.
And again, Moore over Jarvis Jones?! Well, I needed a good laugh today.
