Exactly.
I wouldn’t have spent a first on LVE and I wouldn’t on Collins. I’d rather take a chance on Phillips medical concerns than Collins. At least there’s a chance you get a guy that can be a game changer. 43 DE’s can impact the game.
At LB you just need quick a guy that can chase and hit. Those can be found outside the first round. A 6’5” 260 (270?) pound off the ball LB isn’t going to be what this defense needs. He may be able to change direction very quickly for a guy that size but he still won’t have the quickness that a guy like JOK will have. That is what Quinn needs at LB.
Now tell me that Dallas wants to use Collins as a LEO, and send him after the QB... that is a different story. But to just use him like they use LVE? No thanks.
Totally agree, much rather take a chance on Phillips then Collins. Really believe Collins is destined to become a 3-4 OLB. Off the ball linebackers, typically can be found outside of rd 1, Wagner, Warner to name a few. I just would hate to spend a top 15 pick on Collins, when we did a few years ago with Lve who he would be replacing.
