No. Hes not even the #1 LT for this upcoming draft. Hes still damn good though.

Jackson went 3 and it was a joke .

Collins played a great game at LT, but I still think he might project at guard in the NFL.

The No. 1 OT in the NFL draft will likely be Cyrus Kuwangjo (sp? IDGAF).

For a tackle to go that high, he needs to be "prototype" or better physically.

He has great feet and athleticism, but his height at 6'5 which may measure at 6'4 at a combine, may be a detriment. Prototype LT these days is 6'6 with ~ 34 inch arms.

So if he comes in at 6'4 and 33 inch arms or shorter, he's probably going to project better at guard.

FWIW, the dude could pull better than any guard I've seen at LSU in a long time.
