I was sold on La'el but reading some scouting reports, he appears to be just an average pass blocker and a mauler for the run game. This makes sense considering how often our QBs were pressured during LSU games. We need someone who is going to protect Drew & open up holes for the run game.

Absolutely, that is why I'd rather Scherff. While La'el is great I just don't think he will be as good as Scherff in the NFL on pass protection. Scherff is a monster that plays mean!

He doesn't have the feet to be an elite tackle in pass protection. Collins has had his share of issues with speed edge rushers. That doesn't mean he can't excel at pass protection at the guard though. Tackles are out on islands which requires great feet. Guards work in a phone booth. The area they cover is smaller which plays to the strength of Collins being a mauler even in pass protection.

There are a lot of reasons our QBs were pressured.
La'el was probably the least of them, but i do think he moves inside at the next level, and can more than adequately pass block for a guard.
From what i hear Scherff will more than likely move inside too.

Yes I get this but Collins is projecting more as a Guard in the NFL so he can clean up his pass protection since his window at G will have a smaller frame. Having an awesome run blocker next to Unger could be special
