If Laell Collins falls to the 5th, how do we not take him?!


Recommended Posts

He would literally be a free pick. We have three 5th rounders! Even if we draft him and literally tomorrow he is indicted, who cares? It was a free pick given to us by the NFL in form of a comp pick. Come on, even JR can't be this moronic can he? JR needs to put his holier than thou ego aside and take a chance every now and then. This guy is only questioned for the crime, not a suspect! The police have said he is not a suspect.

He would literally almost be playing for free at this point. Yes I totally get passing on guys with red flags in the first couple rounds, but when you have three 5th round picks, come on now.

This organization has had a stain from Rae Carruth for over a decade. Greg Hardy then brought us back into the national spotlight. It might be a "free pick who cares" to you, but try explaining to the media when your player is indicted on murder charges for killing a pregnant woman and say "well, we had three fifth rounders and figured why not take a chance".

This organization would be crucified.

Because there remains a small possibility he murdered or was involved in the murder of a pregnant woman carrying his child. Is it really that hard to understand? Particularly considering the Panthers history.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
