    Now you have your answer. Humphries gone one pick before us, and that would not have happened if Collins were in the draft.

    Un fucking believable.

    This hurt us profoundly. And now our streak of great first rounders is over.

    Yes it would, as that had no effect. Humphries is a clear LT while Collins is not.

    Think someone takes him tho and tries. Maybe us.

    So on that note - it's worth noting that Gettleman said, on the subject of Collins, that the draft wasn't over.

    I'd take that as an implication that he's not off the board completely.

    However, as NFL.com’s Albert Breer points out (on Twitter), Collins will not be allowed to re-enter the draft is he goes undrafted this weekend. Going undrafted seems to be the worst-case scenario for the guard, as the bonuses for undrafted free agents don’t come close to the salaries for those actually drafted.

    According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (via Twitter), Collins will meet with Baton Rouge investigators on Monday regarding the murder of his ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, NFL.com’s Albert Breer tweets that the player’s attorney contacted all 32 NFL teams yesterday to “explain Collins’ situation.”

    That's because they're usually not good. If Collins is cleared then he'll get a big bonus from someone.

    Yeah, JR won't allow us to sign him even if he's fully cleared.

    NOT true.

    He'll get league min for salary on a 3 year deal. Teams also are limited to a pretty small number for total UDFA signing bonuses.

    EDIT I searched it. Last year, UDFA signing bonuses were limited to just over 80K per team.
