Two other CB's worth noting, too: D'Joun Smith/FAU and

Quinten Rollins/Mia-OH. IMO, both will go 2nd/3rd rounds

Really like the Whitner comparison for Landon Collins . He's

best when playing downfield in the box. Coverage needs

work, but man he can hit.

Landon Collins ’ weaknesses from Walterfootball.com : - Can

get burned in man coverage - Lacks versatility to play deep

free safety

Landon Collins is a solid prospect, but is a carbon copy of Mark Barron, not elite in terms of coverageability and range.

College Scout with GM Jr Scouting Josh Liskiewitz @JoshLiskiewitz

Watching some Landon Collins now - the difference between

his instincts in coverage and Clinton-Dix's is night and day

Struggles in coverage and in space. I feel like we need the opposite of that. I want a safety that can play center-field and excel in coverage. He's an upgrade over what we have back there, but maybe won't produce the way we hope as quickly as some other picks at 25 may. As flawed as it may be, with the tacklers we have in our front seven (particularly Luke and Davis) I feel like I undervalue a box/physical safety. Still hoping we actually invest in one of the better corners or safeties in free agency as opposed to drafting one early on.

We need a safety who can cover.

    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
    • I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
