But, you know agents. Always trying to show they have the upper hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's easy to say that now. If the Raiders for example used a 7th round pick on him what would he have done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Raiders for example used a 7th round pick on him what would he have done? not to be blunt, but who cares if they used it and he sat out? in the same sense that you keep da'rick over hogan, you take a shot at la'el there - right?

Here is a 1st round talent with some questions off the field (in Collins' case maybe unwarranted). Do you take Kyle Calloway who on his best day will be Kyle Calloway or do you take a guy that can be a good starter. There is just so little risk involved. The late round OL in the last decade: Seantrel, Calloway, Merz, Asper, Pennington and Bell. You take the guy with the talent because you can always find one of those other scrubs to be a camp body of needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 so he wa lying before but now he's telling the truth? He's trying to regain some integrity for future negotiations with other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 so he wa lying before but now he's telling the truth? He's trying to regain some integrity for future negotiations with other teams. by telling them he will bluff and lie, but if they stand their ground they will get what they want in the end? People are not seriously believing what his agent is saying NOW..... Christ.....think people so wed be dumb to believe him now that he has nothing to gain, but itd be silly to think he would bluff to get something a little better when theres still a game being played? im not arguing it to be stone cold fact, but it certainly fair to think he might have signed if drafted.

Ouijaman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It was a horrible situation, but in my opinion if he wanted to be drafted Collins and his agent couldn't possibly have played it any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) The best case for Collins, after not getting drafted in the first 3 rounds, was going undrafted, so he could get a new, potentially huge, deal after 2 years. So I have no doubt his agent put it out there that he wouldn't have signed if drafted after day 2, whether explicitly telling teams this or through a "source."

I actually think that they played it about as well as they could have once he started to slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I actually think that they played it about as well as they could have once he started to slide. Absolutely. He gets to choose a very good team--one that's close to his home town--with a great OL, so there's little pressure for him to be a difference maker from day one. That's about a good as it gets in the NFL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Looks like it was Cowboys # 1 and Fins # 2. We weren't probably getting him anyway article mentioned him not wanting to play anywhere cold. I am glad he didn't up with the Fins. http://mmqb.si.com/2015/05/15/lael-collins-nfl-draft-dallas-cowboys-murder-investigation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
