The Niners and Cowboys wanted Vaccaro badly
Truth
Can't say how I know, but I know Niners wanted KV. I know none of u know me and have no reason to trust what I'm saying, so be it. They tried to trade with both the Jets and Panthers. They were not trying to get to 13 for Reid. They had one need and it was safety. The niners are a smart organization. They understand draft value. They know what areas players are going to go in the draft. Teams at times do have very different grades on Players. You may have someone rated much higher than other teams. The smart teams will pick the player they have rated higher, but they do it in context to that players draft position. Unless you are the Cowboys. They may have had a first round grade on that player, but a smart organization waits or trades back to get value. The Niners understand that. Even if they had Reid higher, they would not have tried to get to number 13 for him. They wanted a player, that at 13, would have been regarded as being someone who was supposed to be viable at that position. The only safety universally believed to be in that range was KV. As I stated, it's possible for a team to have graded REID as a better prospect, but a smart team would not trade to 9 to get him. And I know one thing, under coach BABY they are at least smart.
