Collins is missing prototypical height or weight for a LT. That doesn't mean he can't grow one-- or both-- ways.
Henderson already has an NFL frame with tremendous athleticism for a LT.
I see Collins as a RT or interior OL. Does that mean he can't be ranked high? Of course he can. Generally speaking though, you are not going to see many 5* OL outside of LTs. While Collins could be listed as a LT, I see him projecting more on the other side or inside. And I would be shocked if he isn't a 5*. I just don't think when the dust settles this summer that he is going to be the #1 overall OL.
But let's see how Collins does at any elite camps he goes to. That will tell a lot.
Also watch Powell. He is a freak of an athlete, but he seems to have gotten a reputation for taking a lot of plays off. I think Owa and Jeffcoat could end up as better DL/DE players because they are both high motor players.
And for the record, I wanted Owa over Powell! Damn ucla...

Im not saying Collins will be a LT his entire career at LSU, but Ciron Black is 6'4 and was a four year starter at LT for us. Collins is already 6'5. If hes not a LT its not because of his height.
Where he ends up could be depeneding on LSUs weakspot along the line when he arrives, because I cant see this guy spending any time on the sideline. He needs to be playing somwhere from day 1.
Will he be the #1 OL in America? I dont know but one of the analysts on rivals said he would take Collins over Henderson, so if hes not #1, hes prolly #2, and is there that much of a difference? Collins is a 5 star LOCK.

Huh? This makes no sense. There's many LT's in the NFL around his height.
And as far as peformance at camps, a rivals analyst already said as a junior he's better than Seantrel Henderson...

I disagree. He's 6'4 285 as a HS Junior. He'll easily be up over 300 lbs in college and likely grow an inch or two as well.
