Panthers interested in Landon Collins

[gettlemanjack]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Collins is a 1st R safety as a run stopper but not a 1st R safety in coverage. Plenty of mocks have him falling to us.I have a whole thread on it on the draft board

Bet sigs/avatar that he's either not there when we pick or that we take him?

Ron loves them Bama safeties.

 

Thank God Mark Barron was drafted before we got a chance to in 2012.

The guy is overrated. He's the best safety in a horrid safety class and his stock has rose because of it.

[Mr. Scot]

Other than the runningbacks, this seems like one of the most debated prospects on this board.

So a question to the pro and anti Collins posters: Why should I support, or not support, taking him?

Has all the intangibles to excel in coverage if coached up, is already an amazing box safety which is exactly what fits Rivera's scheme perfectly, is a ball hawk and makes plays, and well, he isn't Roman Harper.

All the top brass is in Phoenix and we are working out our potential 1st round pick? Something doesn't add up. Why not schedule this at a different time?

That's right, Gettleman wasn't here when Barron was drafted.  I knew the Panthers were high on him.

[Germy Ego]

its only 5 bucks. i mean, it's not like you have to tear your knee to get access.

though i only signed up for potential draft poo. dont really care about poo like phillybs luke keuchly stories.

It's 5 bucks a month. Not worth it4

Gotcha.

What's your response to the folks saying Alabama DBs are overrated?

He's pretty big (stocky and muscular) for a safety and is pretty fast as well. Ran a 4.53 at the combine. Great closing speed and can throw a big hit. He has experience playing deep or in the box. His coverage skills are his weak spot but he has the athletic ability to improve there. He'd be a great fit here at SS in my opinion.

I don't respond to people who generalize by school or program. Great players can come from any school.

So, Marlon McCree type?

Fair enough, but it is legit that many of the DBs drafted from that program (Barron, for example) haven't proven to be good in the pros.

What makes Collins different?
