It should be pointed out amidst the tweets and headlines, La'el

Collins is NOT a suspect according to BRPD. Worth noting.

If it turns out that this is poor communication by the cops, I'd be furious if I were Collins.

I don't know how $$$ goes in supplemental, but I assume if there are a ton of teams taking him off their board or not thinking of drafting him until late, he would probably rather go in the supplemental at a 3rd rounder salary then to be a late round pick or an UDFA.

He'd get paid the same amount as the team's original draft slot in the round he was taken. Say we claim him for a second in the supplemental draft, he and our pick at 57 would make the same amount.

If he's available in the 3rd you take him and hope for the best

 

Lot of reports saying if no more information comes out that he won't get drafted. Honestly, if no more information comes out and he's sitting there any time after the 3rd I'd be pissed if we didn't take him. 3rd is still a little too risky for me.

Good luck explaining that to Jerry.

 

"Hey boss, so you remember that Rae Carruth guy? Well, funny story. See we just drafted a guy who may have done the same thing, but he may not have. We have no idea. Still waiting for the police to interview him. He's really good at football though."

Tommorrows headline. Police ruin another black mans life.

It's really not that funny. I mean, this kid is going into the draft to be a first rounder, and his alleged baby momma (from reading articles online surrounding this) was killed. Then the police request that he leave the draft and return to Louisiana for questioning; although not "a suspect". So the kid leaves the draft, gets back and the same police that requested his presence are now "not ready" to speak with him.

I'm presuming that the kid is innocent, and if he is, that is a tough pill to swallow for a kid to be robbed of for no reason. Presuming his innocence he was robbed of the draft experience and the realization of his life long dream. That's just BS in my opinion.

Who knows the relationship he had with this girl, but she's now passed on, there's a child struggling to hang on that will now grow up without a mother, and if it's true (that he's the father) and that he's innocent and had nothing to do with this, then the whole situation is just crap.

Plain language of CBA seems to slam door on La'el Collins delaying his draft eligibility until July http://wp.me/p14QSB-9Lgn

 

 

 

 

“No player may elect to bypass a Draft for which he is eligible to apply for selection in a Supplemental Draft,” Article 6, Section 2© of the Collective Bargaining Agreement declares.

 

That’s exactly what Collins is trying to do.  No matter the reason, Collins is electing to bypass a draft for which he is eligible and applying for selection in a supplemental draft.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
