He'll be an asset both on and off the field for NO.

Just a blue collar guy that shows up first to practice with his hard hat and lunch pail

Sunseri always seemed to be in exactly the right place for a tipped interception to fall right into his arms.

He won't see the field to get ints. But he will be a pro bowl special teamer.

Yeah no he wasn't. He was basically bama's te'o, overall not very good but made a few huge plays so people forgot about the other 50 shitty plays


Te'o isn't terrible in the NFL.. He did have more to prove than any player in the history of fricking football though so there's that..

Sunseri is the 17th player drafted from the 2011 Alabama defense .

Pagan is 18th.

Good for Vinnie. He will do well in NOLA.

Bad pick,

he is a pretty good player, and will contribute on special teams, but no need to draft him, and certainly not at that point in time. Could have gone a number of other places with that pick. And I don't know what he ran at the combine, but on the field and in pads is very underwhelming speed wise.

Will probably used as a blitz safety I guess.

I'm not a gm so I won't say if we should have got him this early or not. What I will say is that I'm extremely happy we got him and he'll def be one of those guys that raises the bar in terms of getting to work and bringing your lunch pale. I loved the way he played. It's like he knows it's all or bust and he leaves it on the field. Have to respect that. Welcome to who dat nation

Actually, Te'o had more to prove than any player in the history of fricking.

He'll be fine, I'm no GM either so its just my opinion of course.

I just really don't like the lack of offensive lineman in this draft.
