If The Rumors Are True...


Recommended Posts

If the rumor of us trading back and taking an OL is true, I think we drop back to 12. CLE gets the WR they like, and since Scherff will probably be gone by 12, I think La'El Collins is the LG of the future.

Dude is an absolute brick house, and has a NASTY mean streak.

He had to leave the draft today to handle some business with Louisiana law enforcement. Something about the homicide of a pregnant woman.

I like my offensive linemen when they're not being questioned for the murdering of pregnant women.

To be fair, they initially said he wasn't a suspect, but even still. That's not necessarily an outstanding footnote to have prior to the draft.

That is absolutely correct, but today his attorney said they are providing police with information and will eventually sit down with them in hopes that "Collins will be ruled out as a suspect of the homicide." So while the police have not officially called him a suspect, it's clear by his own attorney's words that he hasn't yet been ruled out. I can't imagine drafting him in the first round with this in mind. It's just too risky.

Boren told ESPN. "We have offered to give names, witnesses who can vouch for his whereabouts that day until after the woman's body was discovered. We believe that when [police] have verified that information, that they will rule him out as a suspect in the homicide, just as I believe he should be."

Agreed. Horrible tragedy, questionable circumstances & bad timing for him. This is another report that can cost an NFL prospect millions by dropping his stock by creating questions about him. More drama everyday, the draft better get here soon before half of these kids are caught doing something stupid.

LSU OL La'El Collins is not a suspect in the Baton Rouge murder he is being questioned in.
Police want Collins to provide background information on the woman who was murdered. The woman was pregnant, and her baby was delivered before she died. Police believe Collins could be the father. Collins is expected to be a first-round pick.Apr 28 - 6:43 PM

If the rumours are true, we're-

Trading back for an o-lineman

Trading up for Williams

Trading up for Fowler
Staying put for Ray
Staying put for Beasley
Staying put for Gurley
Trading back and then up again for about 10 different combos
And skipping the draft and turning our team into a soccer team.

If we do as you suggest, I will be very disappointed though. Collins is just not a guy that jumps out at me, I'd rather get a guard in the 2'nd.
