La'el Collins falling due to murder probe?

What's really scary, dirty is when teams put stories out on a prospect in hopes that he'll fall in the draft...

If there was anyway to prove it, they should bring the hammer down on those teams for it, compensate the player for potential lost earnings...

He'd have to be missing lots of cog wheels up there if he decided to make this happen right before one of the best days of his life.

I don't believe he drops though, teams are compensated in that event. It's not like a complete waste.

Papz...

Heard you know how to pick LBers?

We called you out in another post but didn't hear from you...

What are your thoughts?

I think this was the least I've ever followed football during the off season in the past 20 years. I don't even want to speculate, google, and regurgitate someone else's info to use as my own. I honestly have no clue beyond the top few position prospects... will be looking forward to all the scouting reports you guys post afterwards.

If Collins is the father then hiring a PI makes sense. Even being an X that is the mother to your child. If this is the case it says a lot about him as a person.

time will tell

Is there a point snyone would take a punt?

I personally would at the tail end of tbe third before the comp picks let Baltimore snap him up

Him not talking to cops until after the draft certainly complicate things. Originally I didn't think it would hurt his draft stock, but now, given teams don't have anything but Collins' word to go on, I'd probably also pass on taking him early... which is a shame as that's who I really wanted. With that said, I'd still take a chance on him with our 3rd pick.

Its difficult
I always like to look at people as innocent until proven guilty. He is the sort of player we need.

Its just finding the sweetspot that you can select him. Then het a contract that voids all guaranteed money if he is charged with the crime.

I'll take him at 13! Everyone has done their home work and this is strictly a questioning to determine parenthood. Grab him and don't look back.
