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.

I disagree. I like Sunseri. He made some really big plays for Alabama. He was having a very good year before he got hurt and lost for the season. If he had stayed for his senior season he would have a been a first or second day pick for sure. Because of the injury, he will probably be a third day pick but don't be surprised if he goes on the second day. He's definitely getting drafted and I am sure the draft analysts gave him a good projection. Otherwise, he'd have stayed for his senior year. He's one of those guys that is going to get some buzz in late April imo. He's going to be a good special teamer at the very least and that's pretty much par for the course when it comes to the 4th-7th rounders.
