Vinnie to the Saints

[colbysullivan]

Congrats I guess. Still should have stayed for his senior year. Still I'm happy for him

 

[BamaHoosier]

I'm shocked he was even drafted. I was expecting him to be a UFA. Congrats to Vinnie, hope he does well in NO

 

[TideMom2Boys]

I missed that pick. Congrats to him! Hopefully he gets some early playing time.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Wow, He would fit well in their system. Suddenly, bama players getting drafted?

 

[TexasBama]

Roman Harper goes and Vinnie gets picked.

I guess the Saints like Bama safeties.

Yep.

Not a fan of the 'Aints. Hope they give him a fair shot.

That's all we can hope for.

He'll be a great backup/situational player for them. It wouldn't surprise me to see him push for more PT if he can improve his coverage ability just a little. He has tremendous instincts, but sometimes his aggressiveness gets him burned. I definitely think he has that "it" factor though.

He is one of my favorite players. I guess he made the right decision with being drafted now. Do you think he would have gone higher next year after maybe being outshined by Collins the whole year?

 

[arkie323]

How may games till he's on ESPN blowing somebody up?

Looks like good advice considering that this was about as high as he was going to go even if he played another season. He was the 3rd best Safety at Alabama this year, and he would have been the 3rd best next year. But at most schoold he would have been the best safety by a decent margin.

I am a huge fan and will be following him during pre-season to see how they plan on using him.

sorry, but no. Collins has better measurables for sure, but there is a lot more to the game than that. Collins still needs to work on assignments, and more importantly, angle of pursuit. He took a LOT of very bad angles last year, even in the last 2 games after he'd getting a lot of the starters reps since HaHa was out and Vinnie got hurt.

He won't like having to deal with Julio.

Hey, Bros before Pros.... I pull for all the former players, even if they go to the Raidas.

Collins hasn't played as well as Vinnie yet. He'll be drafted ahead of him for sure, but just because he's a better athlete doesn't make him a better player.

Same here I thought he'd be lucky to him in the 7th round.

They drafted him. That's a pretty fair shot IMO.
