ok, so why weren't you asking for us to pick Collins prior to him being selected if you watch so much college football? I've been watching college and NFL football since before you were born.
let me guess, your a 7on7 guy?
I didn't expect them to draft an NT early, just like I don't expect them to draft guards early, just like a lot of people didn't expect them to draft safeties early based on their prior history.
That said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with either pick, they fill critical needs on the defense. They haven't had a true nose tackle like Collins since maybe....Soap? Getting a true run stopper up the middle, a guy with a high motor that can do so much to cause problems for an offense will free up Warner and the LB's to do their thing.
That's all great, but since you watch so much football I would expect you to understand that the NFL is still a passing league. Grabbing guys who can't get to the QB at #11 isn't a winning formula (see; Eagles & KC).
Like I said, I hope it all works out but I don't see it. Drafting for need after spending all kinds of capital on the D-line isn't the way to go IMO.
I do love big strong D-linemen, so that's the only thing I see worth celebrating at this point. Also, we didn't add via F/A so this is who we are for now.
