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.

    • He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off. 
    • I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.
    • A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
