JETSfaninNE Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Schefter on Mike & Mike said there are multiple teams who believe La'El Collins won't be drafted. — Evan Silva (@evansilva) April 30, 2015 Evan SilvaVerified account@evansilva Schefter on Mike & Mike said there are multiple teams who believe La'El Collins won't be drafted. Interesting. I wonder if there is more going on behind the scenes with his girlfriend (ex-gf?) then was first lead to believe?? Maybe we can get away with him dropping into the 7th and taking him with one of our picks. (Obviously as long as he isn't in a position to possibly go to jail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Really? If for what ever reason he gets to the last round, we have two picks and should scoop him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I thought he wasn't a suspect and they just wanted info to help w/the investigation? Unless Schefter knows something bad that we don't, then he is doing a terrible disservice to the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBallhawk Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm pretty sure some team is going to scoop him up in the 5th or 6th round if he does last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were reports that cops told the NFL Network they were interested in a paternity test. Schefter reported that is what teams were interested in. They supposedly hadn't been in contact for 7 months or so. Really have to hope this is not a Rae Carruth situation. He may not be a suspect in the actual shooting while still being a "suspect." His agent is supposedly petitioning the league to pull him from the draft which would let him go in the supplemental, presumably after he is cleared.

Vinny16 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Given the league's image problem on womens' issues, plus the whole Aaron Hernandez serial killer thing, there's not a GM out there crazy enough to put his team in the position that drafting Collins would put them in. It may all turn out to be a very unfortunate coincidence, and hopefully it is, but with the current social climate the NFL finds itself in, I don't think a team can risk it.

Jet9 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 His agent wants to pull him from the draft entirely. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000489146/article/lael-collins-agent-petitioning-removal-from-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 He wants to enter the supplemental draft instead. This is ridiculous. The cops cleared the guy, you're perfectly safe to pick him. Maybe not in the 1st round, but if you pass on him after round 2 you're completely stupid. There's no risk. I mean you might waste a pick, but nobody can blame you if you do take that risk, in case he gets arrested, which is a longshot. At the time the cops gave him a pass, he was NOT a suspect. That's where your responsibility ends. You can't worry about what might happen further down the road. I'd absolutely pick the guy in round 2.

I'd absolutely pick the guy in round 2. are you allowed to switch to the supplemental draft? how high were people ranking him? pretty big fall from a first rounder to not getting drafted at all. someone will pick him up and probably in the 3rd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 are you allowed to switch to the supplemental draft? how high were people ranking him? pretty big fall from a first rounder to not getting drafted at all. someone will pick him up and probably in the 3rd round I'm not sure if it's legal or not but the NFL just rejected it. So he will be draft eligible today. I think he ruined his chances of being drafted soon with his attempt to drop out of the draft. He's basically saying he doesn't expect anybody to draft him. He was supposed to go in the 1st round, possibly a top 10-15 pick. Mayock had him as his highest rated O-Lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'd pick him! Hell, Rex picked Taj Boyd! Innocent until proven guilty in this country! If he's sitting there in the 6th, we'd be stupid not to take a flyer. He's going in 4-5 book it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I would take a shot at him in round 4 if he is still there, His agent requested that he be exempt from the draft and put into the supplemental draft but the request was declined. I have a feeling he is innocent and if he is he would be a steal in round 4 worth the risk in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great move by the agent. Got his client some credibility back before the draft. Whether it works or not we will find out today OR in the next few days. But he must have known before asking that he was not going to be granted that withdrawal from draft AND it will make a few teams think hey the guy must be really innocent otherwise why would the agent want to pull him out so he comes back in a supplemental draft another day.

jgb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Funny people saying scoop him up cheap when many here retroactively criticizing the pats for picking up a troubled tight end with first round talent that dropped to the 4th. There is even more concern with collins than there ever was with hernandez at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
