Panthers meeting with Landon Collins

#Bama safety Landon Collins, the top player at his position in the draft, is visiting the #Panthers today, source said.

Debatable that he is even the top safety anymore. Big time liability in coverage and really just a box safety to me. Rather we wait and address the position in the 3rd with someone like Sample or Tartt if he's available. Collins' stock has been falling as of late and will honestly probably be available at 25 but I don't want him there.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Safety is where I want to go if we do go defense early on, I just desperately want to give Cam another weapon or protection up front in the first and second. Yeah, I'll probably be disappointed if we go heavy on the defensive side again but I do trust Gettleman. I just don't love what I've seen from Collins as a first round safety.

[MadHatter]

Collins just reminds me so much of Barron....and that scares me.

[@bonafidebanter]

This is a tough draft for safeties this year. 

[Growl]

We've been fortunate enough the past two years to get great prospects at need areas who took mystical offseason tumbles thanks to the usual offseason draft nonsense. It'd be great if could happen a third.

Though frankly with Polomalu gone I think that's probably a likely landing spot for him.

I think Collins is the better athlete but they both share lots of similarities. Rivera has wanted his big time safety for so long but I don't want to force the issue at Cam and the offense's expense. It's time we get serious about building around our franchise quarterback. It's been long enough. Give the kid what he needs to take the next step.

[Dex]

No thank you.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

No thank you.

James Sample in the 3rd is all we need.

[Jesse]

I originally wanted him, but now I don't think it is the right choice. He definitely is a liability in coverage. With the talent we have at wide receiver in the NFCS that would be a poor decision IMO.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

He will be the pick. It came to me in a peyote vision.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Him at 25 would be aweaome

[Meh]

Just finished DMT trip. The ground is lava, but yes we want him
