Francis York Morgan Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Jalen Collins failed multiple drug tests at LSU. Just getting that out of the way before people harp on it for Gregory. There's something else keeping us away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSalmon Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Maybe the 230 lbs and no production was why Gregory didn't get picked This was a nice pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlGM Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yep to a certain extent. the stupid filter is still up and it's a good thing. I wouldn't take a player that failed a test he Knew about. Especially when he's gonna be tested on a regular basis by the league substance abuse pprogram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If not for the failed drug tests, Collins would have went in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEIST Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm pretty indifferent on this pick tbh. Was so hyped for Kendricks but he's a good fit and can run with anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Looks like no more 5-9 corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Warrior Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 92.9 was saying that Gregory's psyche evaluation scared off many teams and he even missed some meetings with teams. He is thought to be bipolar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSalmon Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Wonder if Dez stays at FS? Be interesting if our FS turned out to be Alford. That'd give us 3 tall and fast long cbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Gregory missed some meetings with teams and he lied about when he last smoked at the combine. Instant red flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I wonder if funchess had any effect on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 What do you think about jalen though?I love him. He was my 3rd rated corner and I liked him better than Trae Waynes. I had no idea we'd try this but I like the pick a lot already. He got by almost entirely by talent but in just *ten (typo) games looked pretty dang good. He's got great size, speed, and change of direction abilities, and learning from Tru and Raheem Morris is going to turn him into a star. Love, love, love it, and I wanted Abdullah here. Really hoping he keeps slipping down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSalmon Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I love him. He was my 3rd rated corner and I liked him better than Trae Waynes. I had no idea we'd try this but I like the pick a lot already. He got by almost entirely by talent but in just two games looked pretty dang good. He's got great size, speed, and change of direction abilities, and learning from Tru and Raheem Morris is going to turn him into a star. Love, love, love it, and I wanted Abdullah here. Really hoping he keeps slipping down.Since Carolina picked Funches, and had Benjamin . Couple that with Evans and Jackson in TB that's 4 small forwards playing WR in our division. You pretty much need these tall cbs!I wanted the other Collins (Landon) but this is a great pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I like the pick. Quinn is building his defense quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthursMoustache Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I wonder if funchess had any effect on this.I doubt it. Collins height, length is us trying to find another Sherman IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a small forward/TE and we were terrible over the middle last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr Plow Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Gregory missed some meetings with teams and he lied about when he last smoked at the combine. Instant red flags.What an idiot. About now he has to be thinking "umm .. you mean being good at football isn't enough?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of the Gaucho Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Alford is lighter than Earl Thomas, but has otherwise similar measurable. He's got 5 picks in 2 seasons so he has ball skills. I could see him sliding into the Earl Thomas (lite) role. But I wear a suit to work and know ish about scouting football players, so take it for what it is worth.

Osiruz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 We probably had collins high on our draft board. He was higher than Eric Rowe who we showed interest in. Gregory still presents value in round 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
