OLB Jamie Collins in the 3rd

Ok so OLB isn't a need, therefore it's not worth addressing with our top 2 or 3 picks, but in the event Southern Mississippi's Jamie Collins is there in the 3rd (we'll have two 3rd rounders), we would be foolish not to take him.

As of now he's ranked as the 7th OLB, and can also play DE. At 6'4" 250 he's a tweener. But his size and freakish athleticism isn't what intrigues me. It's how much of a great tackler he is. All last year we watched as Titan after Titan failed to wrap up.

Here's a nice graphic working in his favor





Just throwing this guys name out there so when we select him you'll all have heard his name before.

Absolutely love this guy.

If we are going BPA then yeah sure

I keep seeing him rise up the draft boards, may not be there in the 3rd but yeah I like him.

his play in that highlight didnt impress me all that much, yes he made most of his tackles but he got pushed back quite a bit and not always by a bigger lineman, and his burst at first isnt the best. i like that he sheds his blocks decently well but im going to remain neutral on my view about him for now till i see more

yea bit on 2 reverses and most of the time i seen him knocked backwards...yes i did see him shed blocks but after bein knocked back 5 yards....yea athletic but didnt see much ther in only 1 game

that was just 1 game, you cant judge a guy off 50 plays

i know...thats why i said ill await my judgement till i got time to see more...i was just pointing out his pros and cons

Bruce Irvin clone, not as tough. I think he'll go earlier than you think, early second round. You can't teach speed, bend.

Can we draft Collins to be a MLB?
