--

So when looking at this whole draft class, I'm trying to wrap my head around where we may get talent in the FA and what value is going to be available in the mid-20s. 

 

 

I'm being patient with any mocks this year (may wait a while longer) but was curious about who a realistic BPA (w/needs in mind) could be for us in the first.  Now I understand we've found strong secondary talent in later rounds but looking at these top-5 or so guys in each respective S, WR, OL, DL, and CB classes, Collins keeps jumping out to me. 

 

I'm not a huge fan of many of these mid-shelf CBs in the FA this year (maybe Kareem Jackson) and the back of the drafts has a lot of slow slot or Tampa 2 types.  This Collins guy fits the measurables of a starting NFL CB and seems to have all the ability necessary to be effective day 1.  He seems to fit with our scheme as well. 

 

Now if an almost given prospect drops to us, you take him but when just assessing our needs and thinking who really has the value, Collins stands out to me

 

Whatsayyou?

mixed reviews on Jalen:

National Football Post Dion Caputi @ nfldraftupdate 6h

LSU CB Jalen Collins had a great day... unofficially ran a 4.48 & then a 4.43. Very nice times; with his size, length, and upside, someone will fall in love.

MockingTheDraft.com Dan Kadar @ MockingTheDraft 12h

Jalen Collins runs 4.48. That’s a big number for him. 1st

round talent.

NFL.com Bucky Brooks @ BuckyBrooks 10h

"Cha-Ching!!!" Jalen Collins and Ron Darby are making

money with their performances today.

NFL.com Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks 10h

Jalen Collins is making a lot of $ today.

draftTV.com Shane P. Hallam @ ShanePHallam 10h

LSU's Jalen Collins looks so impressive in shorts. Makes you

want to fall in love. Huge and fluid. Wish it translated to

consistency

South Florida Sun-Sentinel Omar Kelly @ OmarKelly 5h

Watching the DB position drills and Jalen Collins ' hips are

tight. Saw it in his film & the combine confirms it. Not a good

look.

CBS Sports Dane Brugler @ dpbrugler 9h

#LSU CB Jalen Collins has a lot of size/athletic tools, but

he's a project. Instincts, awareness, technique, discipline - all

very, very raw

Scout with GM Jr Scouting Josh Liskiewitz @JoshLiskiewitz 8h

@dpbrugler you nailed all of Collins' areas of concern - instincts especially scary, hard to fix.

thefootballeducator.com R0n Plckett @ CoachRonScouts 7h

The CB Id like to draft is Kevin Johnson. Jalen Collins could

be good but needs some develop & I question his instincts at

times

profootballcentral.com Austin John @ Phinfanalyst Feb 18

I'm not that high on LSU CB, Jalen Collins . Yeah okay he has

size- but sloppy feet and stiff hips. Those traits don't often

translate.

    • it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team. 
    • Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan. 
    • if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
