While I agree about covering kicks, what is to say that he won't be able to handle being a safety? He's just doesn't have speed. He's also got quickness and agility that compares closely to the likes of Kam Chancellor and other good Safeties.. The question becomes how does diagnosing plays in front of him.. He did play OLB for Miss. St. and did drop into coverage for them.. Not saying that he WILL be a Kam Chancellor but there is nothing that says he won't either.
I realise this isn't a recommendation for some, but PFF have been loving the Patriots draft.
That's interesting. Does that mean he did himself a disservice by saying he would not play if drafted after 3rd, thus scaring off potentially interested teams?For all the people who want us to pick up Lael Collins (myself included)... The best chance of us actually getting him is for him to go undrafted. He has openly said he would not play this year if drafted after the 3rd, and being drafted would allow him to sit out this year and resubmit his name for the 2016 draft. If he goes undrafted he CANNOT declare again next year and must sign with n NFL team if he intends to play a down in this league. As a UDFA I think the pats would have a good chanceto sign hhim and would be able to get him for a cheap 3 year contract

Maybe it's bcause the PFF guys care about football players and not the shiny things? If they are good, I'm good.
NOBODY cries in their clam chowder, Brit. It's already hella salty. Now crying in their baked beans, yeah, I could see the beans needing some seasoning.Of course they could cry in their half finished mugs of Sam Adams and get themselves a second head on their flat beers...
Yes, but that's because I thought they'd be looking at getting one in round 2. Now that round 2 is gone, I'm not surprised.
Do you think that BB was looking a Byron Jones in the first? The rumors of a trade came not long after he came off the board. He seems like the type of player that would fit with the team.
I disagree. Byron Jones is a bit o "Combine Hero", getting first round praise after his awesome combine. On film, he isn't as good. I don't think he was a fit here.Do you think that BB was looking a Byron Jones in the first? The rumors of a trade came not long after he came off the board.

Hopefully you are wrong lolSorry but I disagree 100%. Great tape, great athlete, great character. We'll see how he develops but I think the Cowboys got a steal.
