S Vinnie Sunseri, Alabama -- I've been looking at some teammates over the past couple days who have been overshadowed by their high-1st-round teammates, and Sunseri's the latest. Whereas the Crimson Tide let HaHa Clinton-Dix roam all over the field, they typically let Sunseri hang back in either single-high or double-high to theoretically take away the deep ball. The problem: Sunseri never took away the deep ball. There are fewer safeties I've watched tape on this Draft season that take worse angles, and are worse in coverage than Sunseri. Opposing QBs regularly bombed away on the Crimson Tide as Sunseri looked downright lost, especially as a single-high guy where he routinely undercut routes rather than taking the top off. You see this against A&M, you see it against Virginia Tech, you see it against Oklahoma. Now consider that virtually every Alabama DB that's come out under Saban has never lived up to their Draft season potential. Sunseri is, to me, undraftable; I'd maybe look at him as a UDFA. But probably not even then. Avoid.
