How come collins is not the #1 rated linebacker in the draft?

Now late me state clearly.
Im all about value.
I would hate to have to take him at 15 if I did not have to.
Even though I think he is going to more then outplay the 15th slot this still does not mean I want to take him there.

Now if there is no other choice then we have to take him at 15.
But my dream would be to trade down to the late 1st and get him.

But if there are no suitors(which I doubt there will be) then we have to bite the bullet and reach at 15 even though this is something I hate doing.

I believe you. He looks like a more polished ansah...but with Coverage abilities like Dion Jordan. Except a lot stronger when it comes to generating power.

The reports on Dion Jordan are that hell have to gain weight and his bullrush is under used....mainly cuz he has no power to do it.


Collins makes natural seperation on Impact like Ansah. His bullrush is already fricking rediculous. Wait till he learns more moves and u get his motor running red hot.

Hes going to be a monster. Im not sure if i want him as a designated rusher or a SOLB. He could do well in either roles.
