Collins is really a 3rd-4th round pick. He is going to be a liability in pass coverage in a pass happy league. Otherwise, he will be added to the bust list below.
NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr.'s concerns about Alabama first-round draft prospects Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and C.J. Mosley go beyond his personal analysis of them.
On an ESPN conference call Wednesday afternoon, Kiper said the play of past Crimson Tide defensive players in the NFL who have been high draft picks will play into his evaluation of Clinton-Dix and Mosley.
"It is something you have to look at because there have been a host of players out of that Alabama defense that over the years have come in as high draft choices and, frankly, been major disappointments," Kiper said.
Kiper listed Rolando McClain, Kareem Jackson, Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and Terrence Cody as examples of Tide defensive stars who haven't played up to where they were drafted.
I think Mark Barron is a good player but just not as good as he was picked.

That's a little out-dated. Since Kiper said those things not only did CJ Mosley and Ha-Ha live up to their first round draft positions, but Rolando and Dre had good seasons. Kareem just signed a four-year, $34 million contract with $20 million guaranteed which seems like a lot for a bust but what do I know?
And since you value the evaluations of NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. you might be interested to know that he has LC going to the Steelers in the first round and had this to say about him:

quote:
"My evaluation of him hasn't changed at all," Kiper wrote. "But in most cases when you're drafting in Round 1, you're looking for a player who can come in and contribute, if not start, pretty early, so players rise and fall all the time on fit. Even if the Steelers decide to bring back the future that is Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu, they certainly need to prepare for life without him. Collins would be a good replacement as a highly versatile safety who can make plays at the line of scrimmage and will cover. He brings a ton of experience, and the expectation is that he'll be able to help a defense right away. That could be exactly what Pittsburgh needs, which could make him a great value here."

3rd - 4th round pick
Full unadulterated retard right there, ladies and gentlemen. I've truly never seen such an average All American cause such pain and suffering to so many idiots before. It's astounding.

Can't tell if you just hate Alabama that much, or if you're still salty an 18-year-old didn't decide to attend your favorite school.
Either way, with an analysis like that, you might not want to tune in April 30th.
