Another big plus with Collins.

6'6' dude with super long arms that was great at knocking down passes. He tied for 2nd in the FBS last year in batted passes.

I have seen a few Mocks this year with Collins Mocked to SF. They were with our first 3rd rounder, but I did see a couple.

Longest arm span, massive, durable, dude looks like a STUD. these guys will help free up Bosa. Can't wait to get back to physical bully ball.

They better start picking OL or were about to waste 275 mil on Purdy with no OL.

Just to make it to the SB and blow it because we can't stop a pass rush

Yeah they aren't the same lol. Buck was a true blue elite level pass rusher from the inside coming into the league. Collins is a s**t brick house that murders the run game.

If he figures out how to rush the passer he can be a problem. Until then he will be that elite run stopping DT

Meh he was mid2nd to late 3rd. All over the place.

I don't think I saw a IDL throw more people onto their ass than Collins. Dude is a bull at the point of attack.

I'm very happy with this, I think he'd have lasted a bit longer, but no need to risk it. Not much difference between him and Tyliek Williams for me who went round one.

Great length, will be a massive boost in the run game (which is fine for me as that's his main job) ideally off the field for obvious passing downs, but with his length he can extend and cause some havoc, wouldn't be surprised if he develops rip or swim moves.

Bosa and Mykel licking their chops.
This will free them up massively

Yeah, I wanna be excited but every year it seems like they fall in love certain traits regardless of draft position and it's one curve ball after another. I'd be on board if it wasn't for their horrific early round draft history lol.

Ted Washington was like 40 pounds bigger when he was drafted.
