Is it just me or does anyone else thin kit's crazy people keep projecting Jalen Collins in the first round? Solid player but not exactly a shut down corner. Tharold Simon and him were similar size players and I always thought Simon was better and he didn't go near round 1


I disagree with that. IMO Collins was considerably better than last year than Simon ever looked at LSU. It's hard really remembering Collins ever getting beat in coverage, and he tackled well. His biggest issue was missing interception opportunities, which if not for that he probably would have been All-SEC.

I think McShay has been way too low on La'El for a while. I can't imagine a guy like Devin Funchess getting drafted before La'El Collins, that's crazy to me.

Well I guess you're forgetting that in 2011 Simon had over 40 tackles and 10 PBU, which led the team. Plus he only gave up 3.6 yards per attempt on 30 passes against the 7 best passing offenses we played that year. Claiborne and Mathieu both gave up over 7 ypa in those games.
