Arkridge Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Were you? Now don't get me wrong, Collins is a great player and I'm excited to have him, I don't dislike the pick BUT I do feel like we could have addressed other needs with the second pick. When our pick came around and I saw that Eric Kendricks, a player many thought would be mid first round was there, I was elated. Randy Gregory as well but we'll leave him out of this to avoid flame battles. Anyways, my point is, there were a couple of other guys I feel should have been the pick at 42, but it didn't happen. I'm not saying Collins was a stupid pick, but I most definitely had my eyes on a few other guys I feel represented bigger needs.Anyone feel the same way?

WOR Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 To be fair LB was in a lot better shape than CB was. We only had one guy with good starting experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I wouldn't say happy, but i'm satisfied because he has loads of potential and we have a coaching staff who can coach him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Were You Happy With The Jalen Collins Pick? Not mad at all, but I would have preferred Randy Gregory there. Filter or no filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTann Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Love the pick!We got a 1st round talent in the 2nd round. A long prototypical corner that Quinn loves for his defense. CB was a need as our only ones on the roster were Tru, Rocky, Allen, and Adams. Edited May 2, 2015 by CTann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozer Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah, Collins was a value & since we signed LBs in FA it makes sense we beefed up our secondary.He' long & has Quinn pick written all over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantafan21 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I was confused with the pick, but I'm starting to be okay with it. I liked guys like Djoun Smith more, but he doesn't fit what Quinn wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Sider Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I wasn't expecting Jalen Collins to be the pick but once I heard his name I was like...And it all started making sense. We did need help in the secondary and Collins was the highest rated DB left.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Even Bleed Red Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Were You Happy With The Jalen Collins Pick? Not mad at all, but I would have preferred Randy Gregory there. Filter or no filter.^Even if Collins is a great pick, I don't like it. Pass rush has been our biggest issue on defense for half a decade. When you have the chance to get 2 best passrushers in any draft, you do it. Because that opportunity will not present itself next year, or anytime soon.

Jarod_Briggs2 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I like it. Thought maybe Perryman or Gregory would have been the pick but we got a heck of a player on Collins. We needed a CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was sort of my feeling in the fact than Jalen Collins is a great pick with a lot of upside, but just feeling that general team needs were elsewhere.
