nobody drafted Collins, not a single team AT all. Even when he wasn't wanted, indicted, or anything of that sort.



Yes, I think we agree.


But you are the Saints so:

But to not think he wasn't worth a 6th or 7th when you know those are throwaway picks anyway?
You have a HOF QB and you have line issues ever year?
You supposedly excel at finding "hidden gems"?

It was dumbass move (to not do it), plain and simple.

And there has to have been a reason why not even a single team threw a 6 or 7 at him (i.e. NFL officials said nobody touches him). There's no explanation otherwise, he was a top 10 talent and wasn't a person of interest outside of the girl's kid mentioning his name.

His point is why do the saints get all the blame for something the entire league did?

Why is there no anger towards a team like Denver who had THREE 7th rounders and a hole(s) on their line?

The only real logical explanation is the league put a scare into teams and coming off the heels of Rice/McDonald/AP etc

It's painfully obvious the league told teams to stay away from Collins.
