I like all of the players( aside from Collins) I just don't see us using our first 3 picks on safeties.

[TKnight24]

Safety is a need but not that much sheesh

And you only picked Collins cause of your username. In reality you know he's not gonna be there that late

[tvturner]

I think there is a slight chance of him being there, just my opinion though

[CR91]

why would we go safety with our first two picks? I get one, but two

Wouldn't surprise me if Scott M. snags him at #5 for the Redskins

Adams is 34, and I think one would learn behind him, and the other would become a starter

[RealityIsLuck]

Don't need 2 S's in the first 4 rounds, let alone 2. Also doubt Collins will be there. Also think DL needs to be addressed earlier.

[Dustin]

Lol there's no way that's going to happen.

[Nobody]

Except that he's actually a good GM

So you think Collins will be a bust or something?

Yeah, when is the last time taking a safety who was an in the box guy who isn't good in coverage in the first round has worked out?

I don't know how or why this has spread around here except for the extreme anti-Bama bias that is everywhere....

 

But Collins is NOT bad in coverage.    He may not be great,  but he clearly at least average in coverage.

 

Find me the profile that says he's less than average in coverage.....  that, I'd like to see....

Oh, I mean I didn't watch Bama like that except in the playoffs

Didnt say he was bad, but it's his clear weakness. Until one of these safeties in this mold proves worthy of a top pick, count me out.

Deonne Buchanan was looked at as much less skilled, and much worse in coverage. Had a great rookie year.

Aside from the 400+ yards and 84% catch rate he gave up.

I'd be shocked if they did that [drafted Collins at #5] with the other players that will be available at #5.   I think Collins will be available in the lower end of the first round and possibly available at #29.  Heck, he might even be there for the Redskins in the top of the 2nd or as a trade up possibility in the bottom of the 1st.

The catch rate is awful obviously, but 400 yards doesn't seem too high. What's average?

Safeties are a lot more valuable than they used to be. People thought we could get Buchannon out Ward in the third last year. No chance Collins makes it out if the first, especially considering people view the gap between him and everyone else as large.

[Dustin]

230ish. But he only played 700 snaps.

Not really surprising I guess, as they wanted him looking in the backfield in that defense.

I guess should have said I'd be less shocked he if made to pick #38 for the Redskins than if he was picked by them at #5.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was still available in the bottom half of the first round though.
