La'el Collins Is A 1st Rounder According To Kiper

ESPN.com analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins as the No. 21 player overall on his latest big board.

Here is what Kiper had to say about Collins, per Nola.com:

"A big, powerful tackle with good length and the ability to really drive people backward in the run game, Collins could have entered the draft last year. He came back, and I think he has showed improvement. A definite first-round talent now, he's another player you could see drafted and moved inside to guard if a team wants to get him on the field right away. He started there all of his sophomore season."

The board includes underclassmen likely to come out for the draft. Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was the No. 11 player overall and Alabama safety Landon Collins No. 12.
