La'el Collins just fell five rounds

[Iggloo]

Police want to interview him after the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

They say he is not a suspect, but they have questions. He says, I'll talk after the draft.

You may need to wait until the third day homie...

La'el Collins sought for questioning by police following shooting death of 29-year-old woman

Yeah it doesn't look good for him at all. That woman may have been carrying his kid. He would be wise to talk to police right now, unless guilty in which case he can kiss his NFL career and his life goodbye.

 

[Iron Eagle]

....well the kid survived so we'll know sooner or later if it's his.

The way people are jumping to conclusions makes my skin crawl.

 

[Rey]

Bummer "if" he has anything to do with it. I love him as a prospect.

 

[WIZ]

People are stupid.

 

[Iggloo]

La'el's draft stock be like....

 

[GNG]

The Eagles should draft him.

 

[Iron Eagle]

The Eagles should draft him.

 

[Edonidd]

5 full rounds? That's being VERY generous.

If he talked to police right now today, his stock might have fallen 5 full rounds. By refusing to speak to the police, I doubt anyone touches him.

 

[DaEagles]

I'd roll the dice on him with a 5th rounder.

What do you lose? It's a 5th rounder that would be just as good as our last one even if he never plays.

Hope Chip gambles on this one if still there.

Yup. I'd go for a fourth.

 

[greenfever]

If he isn't a suspect, I don't get understand

 

[Wings]

I'd give up a 5th for a shot!

 

[WIZ]

I'd easily spend a fourth.

I bet a lot of private detective work was retained in Baton Rouge this week.

 

[Deano]

I'd be on him faster than a hooker on a meth pipe...

 

[old duke]

Would you take him tonight (3rd rd) if none of the other top OL are gone?

 

[DaEagles]

PFT was saying that some GMs/Coaches were thinking he still wouldn't be drafted at all.

I would take a flyer with our 4th (worst case scenario he never plays a down, best case scenario he's our starting G day one for years to come.)

Thing is, they say he is not a suspect. That is very common with this kind of thing. Obviously he is a person of interest or they wouldn't be looking to interview him. So it's still a crapshoot on if/when he would become a suspect.

We waste picks all the time. Hell how many did we waste last year alone?

 

[Deano]

Would you take him tonight (3rd rd) if none of the other top OL are gone?

Possibly. I'd have my investigators checking it out.

Guys, if you think he is not a murderer, you take him right away. The issue is not which round, it's whether you can stand the PR hit if he turns out to be a murderer, or if he ordered a hit on his pregnant ex. No one right now is sure and that is why no one will draft him until they feel convinced he will be cleared. It's not like teams are willing to risk that in a later round--the backlash would be the same if he was Rae Carruth Pt 2.
