I believe that it is likely that if a team is truly interested in Collins the team owner could probably find out exactly what the Police/DA had and if Collins was a suspect or just being questioned as a matter of routine.

The problem is this: Police, law enforcement and investigators aren't going to share much information about a murder investigation unless and until a suspect is established. Even then they rarely make any comment at all, especially one that would jeopardize their ability to pursue the truth. That's why the original article makes the details really fuzzy. If a suspect, or potential suspect, knows what the investigator knows before he/she gives their interview, then the suspect can use that information to craft their side of the story and/or potential alibies.

 

Not saying Collins is guilty, but seems odd to me that he is working to establish an alibi for a murder he is not even accused of. It seems like he was unwilling to help with this investigation, or at least being un-responsive enough for the police to issue their public statement of "We want to talk to you."

 

It's suspicious actions like this that can turn a guy from "not a suspect" to "the suspect" in a hurry. If LaEl's story doesn't add up, then this is really looking bad for him.

I don't think the police would willingly release info for the asking.  I was suggesting there is always someone inside that has access to the information that will talk for the the right $$ ... and the owners are rich enough with the connections to find that person and find out anything the police currently know (or believe) if they want.

If he's still there on day 3 I'd think about taking him. First round picks (which is what he was before this) are still in the league about 70% of the time 3 years down the road. Day 3 picks are less than 20%. They're always a flier, if he's got an alibi as I've read on this forum then I would be ok with taking the risk of a late round pick being wasted.

We're so late in the 3rd round I'd consider taking him there.

 

I think there is a better then 80% chance he didn't commit this crime.  The fact that he's being questioned only means he had a connection to her.  When someone's murdered like that the police talk to pretty much everyone they've talked to in the past couple years.

      I’m pretty sure that most people would agree that if before the draft you were told you could draft ANY of the defensive players at #15 in this draft as if you were picking #1 overall we would take that deal…it’s pretty remarkable.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Dobbinblitz · Posted

      Latu: in 2022. He ranked first in the FBS in total pressures (55) and pressure percentage (19.1%), and his 10.5 sacks ranked ninth. He was just as good in 2023. During the regular season, he ranked first in pressure percentage (20.1%) and pressures (56) and was fourth in sacks (13). He had a midseason stretch of 5.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss over three games.   More reason to believe this was an excellent pick.

      Greg Cosell's scouting report on Latu:   STRENGTHS: - Outstanding length and frame for an edge rusher with natural twitch and suddenness to his movement. Explosive. - Phenomenal quickness off the ball as pass rusher both outside and inside. Beats offensive linemen with sudden lateral twitch. - Uses featured club arm-over move as wide-9 rusher to beat offensive tackles inside. Has balance to change direction and redirect. - Flashes effective inside spin move off initial high side challenge. Has excellent balance, body control and burst. - Does a good job as an edge pass rusher initiating and playing off contact with effective hand usage. Has multiple moves. - Subtle hand usage is a foundation of his edge rush, along with lateral quickness to change direction and redirect. - Uses quick, violent hands to break down offensive tackle technique then play off contact to win on the high side with burst to the quarterback. - Body flexibility as an edge pass rusher allows him to bend the arc then flatten his rush path and close with speed to the quarterback. - In 2023, always seemed to have a plan as an edge pass rusher, which was evident in the way in which he used his hands. - Is a twitchy, sudden mover with both feet and hands and showed explosive power in his hands to displace offensive linemen. - Effective inside at defensive tackle in sub-fronts working against an offensive guard. Showed ability to win with both quickness and strength. - Has active hands in run game to defeat blocks with both quickness and power, staying on-balance to make plays. - Arm extension in the run game both controls the offensive line and keep his feet clean to defeat blocks and make plays. - Plays with heavy hands to jar and control offensive linemen off the snap. Created movement at line of scrimmage. Has a strong feel to his game.   WEAKNESSES: - There were run game snaps where he could have played stronger taking on and displacing blocks — he got locked on. - It’s not truly a weakness, but the medicals will be closely evaluated. (He was medically retired at Washington.)   BOTTOM LINE: "Latu is one of the best overall prospects in the 2024 draft class. You could easily make the argument that he's the best edge pass-rush prospect in the class. He possesses excellent size and length to play on the edge, and his pass-rush-traits profile is high level for a college player. He has a desirable combination of athleticism, explosiveness and advanced/refined hand usage with multiple moves in his arsenal."
