Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Vinnie Sunseri; did we need another safety?

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Saints take safety Vinnie Sunseri of Alabama

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

A safety? We already have 4.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Not feeling Sunseri.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Fudge, another sucky Bama safety, WTF Payton?!?

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

now the falcons have traded up

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Another Special Teams dude...but ANOTHER safety? Puzzling.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Bleep da bleep bleep!!!!!!!!

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Horrible pick. I'm still on the fence about the LB, but this one is straight up wretched.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

What depth do we have on our O-Line? Surely we need the next two picks to be O-Line. No excuses!

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Ok so who is asleep in the war room

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

STRENGTHS Good size and big hands. Reads and reacts quickly. Assignment-sound and well-coached. Drops downhill to support the run and has experience in deep-zone coverage. Dependable wrap tackler. Good production. Vocal leader who commanded the secondary and made all the calls. Stood out on special teams as a younger player and has the makeup to be a special-teams captain in the pros.

WEAKNESSES Short arms. Lacks elite top-end speed. Not a quick-twitch athlete. Does not explode off the hash and closing burst is just average -- late getting over the top. Has man-coverage limitations -- struggles to matchup with slot receivers. Occasionally fails to break down or overruns ball carriers in space. Dull pop on contact -- not an explosive, blow-up tackler. Started just 15 games

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

I hate Bama, but Sunnseri was always around the ball.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Wow, did SP leave and a subordinate take over the draft?

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

They must had done his dad a favor or something.

You are not in the inner circle, right? Once again, they know FAR more than any of us could wish.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

don't like the pick but we have all said "in Payton and Loomis we trust"

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Tell me dis was a accident pick

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

5th safety on the roster
We only have 4 guards including Lelito who is slotted at Centre

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Walters take:

New Orleans Saints: Vinnie Sunseri, S, Alabama: C- Grade
The Saints like to use three safeties on the field, so they were expected to take one even after signing Jairus Byrd. However, Vinnie Sunseri is a reach; I didn't think he would be drafted.

Could it be that he was drafted to keep him away from Atlanta? :rofl:

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Larry Holder ‏@LarryHolder 13s
Sunseri is coming off ACL tear in October.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

I think they're mailing in the rest of the draft. And it started so well :-(

Agreed but a Safety? We drafted 1st round last year. We signed the tender sheet for a real prospect. We took the #1 Free Agent. We need O-line depth/starters ....

Thanks, I needed you to state the obvious for me for the hundred billionth time bud. Seriously, am I not allowed my own opinion?

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

This pick is extremely disappointing...Got to be one of those coaching, scouting fraternal favor things...Bad ****ing pick...

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Sunseri was a UDFA at best...damnitt...

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

next pick is in
I have no idea what this will be.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

That last pick really sucked. No clue why they would pick a Safety unless there is a trade in the mix......

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

Saints take LB Ronald Powell of Florida

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread

SEC Linebacker. Powell.
