***Day Two Draft Thread***

Trade Leary for another third.

THIS!

Surely the Browns come to the table and would want Leary for one of their 3rd picks at 13 and 14.

First legit smart pick in this draft.

3rd great pick

 

[endersdragon]

Of course. The Cowboys haven't picked a player I've liked in the 2nd-7th round since Antonio Bryant in 2002

That says more about you than them

How is Elliot not going to contribute?

Elliot is the only one.

Strengths
Explosive get-off with good pad level. Has exceptional lateral movement and overall athleticism for the position. Moved around defensive line as rusher and allowed to stand to maximize athleticism as twister. Good coordination between hands and feet. Strong jump step and club move inside is his go-to rush. Flashes an impressive ceiling when it's clicking for him. Initial quickness opens door for disruption. Plus motor with active hands.
Weaknesses
Has very little scheme or position flexibility. Ends up on the ground all the time. Impact production doesn't match the athletic ability and talent. Square rusher missing hip swivel and upper body turn to improve penetration. Comes flying in as pass rusher on twists, but doesn't have workable counterattack ready. Unable to stack and anchor against double teams. Doesn’t have play strength to fight back against redirect blocks.
Draft Projection
Rounds 2 or 3
NFL Comparison
Henry Melton
Bottom Line
Three-technique with impressive athleticism and movement skills, but a lack of play strength to hold up at the point of attack. Collins needs to play for a defense that allows him to play up the field and should benefit from pass rush work with NFL coaching and teammates. Collins should test well which could push him way up the draft board, but his floor is lower than many of the defensive tackles in this draft.

But hey, keep spewing nonsense.

Oh whoopie you found one site that ranked him higher. The highest any respected site I can find with him is CBS has him at 92 so we only reached by 25

Good pick. Light on his feet. Not stout but more of a penetrator.

Fits well in the rotation.

Reminds me of the " potroast" DT the Pats just signed for the Skins. Good solid pick.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

First legit smart pick in this draft.

That would be Elliott for me.

 

[LittleD]

Marinelli pounded the desk for this guy. This was the 3T that he wanted in this draft. You can bet on it...

 

[Chuck 54]

Good but would've rather had Billings

Difference is Billings is more NT or 1 tech. Dallas just isn't selecting guys unless they have a pass rush. Collins more of 3-tech

 

[superonyx]

You love picking a guy that won't play one down in 2016 and has a chance to never play football ever again in an early 2nd round pick? Lol

You know this how negative nancy?

Armchair expert is expert.

 

[jujoboys]

NFL.com has Collins ranked #54 on their Top 100 and we finally draft a defensive lineman so that gets me excited even though I know nothing about the guy

 

[guag]

Of course. The Cowboys haven't picked a player I've liked in the 2nd-7th round since Antonio Bryant in 2002

This is why I refuse to get myself invested so much in individual players in the draft. No matter how much sense I think a pick would make, the Cowboys always, without fail, feel differently. I guess that's why I'm here and not in the war room right now.

 

[BigStar]

Like the Collins pick. Kid is raw but has tools. Rod should be able to shape him into something great.

And won't be forced to start and can initially rotate w/Crawford. Pick makes sense. There were others I thought would be picked but understand the pick.

By "respected" site, you are not considering NFL.com? You're a special one, aren't you?

 

[Maxmadden]

I guess that comment about wanting Baylor players was a lie

He said that in a response to one of the radio guys, who is a Baylor alumni, asked him to get some Baylor players. Stephens response wasn't serious.

 

[weaver21]

So many whiners and negative nancies in this forum, it's disgusting.

 

[MRV52]

Why does dallas use a dirty towel to cover the camera with? ewww okay rant away guys.

You would think that with Jerry's money they could afford to buy a blind.

 

[Aven8]

I like this pick. Looks super quick. Maybe he's going to be a babysitter for Gregory as well!
