I'd like to know your source, just for my own purposes, if you don't mind sharing.

Gotcha - I have shared with you exactly who my sources are. I am telling the truth. Maybe they are f**king w me. It will be fun to see. As I have shared with you, I hope my Saints source is wrong. I do not want to trade up to 7.

He hasn't met with police likely because the police have a schedule they follow for the interviewing process. Of course he is wanted for questioning if he dated the girl.
Just came out that he hasnt interviewed because the police arent ready yet You are right though, he has nothing to be even cleared of

Would be interesting if he goes undrafted. Then DOES GET CLEARED... then a possible bidding war for his services i would assume can happen.


That is why he won't go undrafted. Hell the Bengals would probably consider drafting him in the 5th even if he was named a suspect.

Someone will gamble a late round pick just to hold his rights. I would be pissed if the Saints wouldn't even spend a 7th for his rights.

I admire your homage to the classic Side Out - he won't last that long.

Here's the thing. You aren't in here trying show off. I feel like you are sincerely trying to relay relevant information. You come off as trustworthy, but that can change. I want to believe you, but I'm not sure I'm on board with him going at 31. But I like that they wouldn't be trading the pick.

I just really love the draft. My source also said the Saints will finish with 7 picks.

I'd be ecstatic with Collins at 31 if he is in the clear. He's always come off as a good kid and the saints need an OG and OT depth. Armstead and Collins very well could be the future tackles of this team.

Undrafted? You telling me someone wouldn't even waste a 7th round pick on him? That dude is going first round. He might fall out of the top 15 but he will be picked up late in the 1st.

That sounds about right. One of the 3rd rounders is a sure fire piece of a package deal for something.

Increasing feeling that La’el Collins undraftable unless he’s exonerated
Posted by Josh Alper on April 30, 2015, 10:59 AM EDT
2015 NFL Scouting Combine Getty Images

On Tuesday, the attorney for LSU tackle La’El Collins said that his client would sit down and talk to Baton Rouge police as part of their investigation into the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Collins has not been named as a suspect in the case and reportedly left Chicago ahead of the draft in order to facilitate that meeting with authorities. There was no contact with the police on Wednesday, however, and a lieutenant with the Baton Rouge Police Department told John Kryk of the Toronto Sun that as “of this morning, detectives working the case still have not heard from” Collins or his attorney.

Collins’s attorney said that he was “nowhere around” Brittany Mills at the time of her murder, but his pro career may be on hold until there’s some more certainty on where Collins fits into the investigation. There has been increasing talk in league circles that Collins neither draftable nor employable until/unless he is fully exonerated of any wrongdoing in the matter by law enforcement.

Should that hold and should exoneration happen at some point after Saturday, Collins would be in the unusual position of being a prospective early pick who is able to pick his team rather than have things left up to chance in the draft. That’s a total hypothetical at this point, but it might become Collins’s best-case scenario if the matter stretches past the weekend.
