I'm ok with keeping Cam and just putting every resource towards the defense.......every cap dollar, every draft pick (except for maybe some OLs) on defense

turn the defense into a bag of hammers that preys on offensive players.........

Collins would be a great pickup for us, after a trade down. He pops on tape no matter what tape you put in.

he m, Monty rice of Georgia and Cox of lsu would be instant upgrades to our woefully talent deprived linebacker meeting room,

Has it been determined if Cam’s shoulder prevents him from being an adequate nfl thrower? Lots of speculation.

Is there an injury there that surgery can address?

if he can't throw the ball we would have to find someone else......Trubisky would be cheap

Collins & Cox would be really great pick ups for the team. Just don’t see it happening unless we trade down. Which I’m not too sure if I want to see that at this point either. If I’m being honest though, nearly every mock draft I’ve done has involved me trading down....a lot! Then again, I’m a chicken **** when it comes to that fake, online, no impact on the real world type stuff.

Collins is the kind of player that I think Bill was hoping he'd find with Anfernee Jennings: a passing-down DE with the athleticism to produce as an off-the-LOS 'backer on running/early downs, as either a run-n-chase defender or in coverage vs either TEs or RBs...Collins is a far, Far, FAR superior prospect than Jennings however, and if Bill is by some miracle no longer in the QB market, and especially if he executes a trade-down from #15, then this guy could be in the cross-hairs...
