ALLEN1QB Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I seen he is being questioned in his girlfriends murder. Going to hurt his stock the day before draft. Would Buffalo take him at 50 if he is there? Edited April 29, 2015 by ORTON1QB
Chuck Wagon Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 SEC player in a murder investigation? The Pats have called dibs.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 0 chance he falls to 50. They have already submitted his whereabouts with a list of witnesses to the police.
thebandit27 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Yes...in a heartbeat. He would start at LG immediately. That said, I really doubt he's going to fall that far (if at all).
Mr. WEO Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Jeez, she gets murdered just days before the draft?? That seems "suspicious". I think she's just trying to ruin his draft position.

KollegeStudnet Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 "With the 32nd pick of the NFL Draft the World Champion Patriots select LSU Collins. Sadly, he is not here because he is assisting the Lousianna authorities in the murder investigation of his ex-girlfriend."- Roger Goodell
Peter Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Apparently, the FSU police are not investigating this one.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 His attorney can make any claims he wants about Collins' whereabouts, but if the authorities don't formally clear him of any involvement prior to the draft, I could see him not only falling to 50... but going undrafted. What team is going spend a draft pick on him if there's a chance he could be arrested for this in the near future? I'm not saying that because of wasting a pick, I'm talking about the publicity. Collins is actually one of my favorite prospects... Either he gets picked where he was going to get picked, or he goes in between. There is no middle ground here.

Luxy312 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Still ranked in the top-20 on every draft board I've looked at. Pretty much a pipe dream that he would fall all the way to 50 without significant new information coming to the table.

I'm not aying Collins had anything to do with this. I'm just saying in the post Hernandez-Rice-Peterson world we live in, I belive teams will exercise more caution. This is just unfortunate timing for Collins (again, if he's innocent).
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I am confused by some of the comments here. Is anyone really hoping that if this kid truly didn't do it that there is enough circumstantial evidence to at least leave him on the hook for a while for the murder of his girlfriend in the hopes he drops and we take him because of it? If, as it seemingly appears for the time being, he had nothing to do with it then I hope he gets drafted appropriately given his talent. It is one thing when we can profit due to teams being worried about an injury and another thing as a result of actual legal violations of which an individual is working on changing and improving themselves (Henderson). ...but this is murder and it is a little sick that some are hoping that the unfounded stench of guilt sticks like spaghetti on a wall, at least for a little while.

johnwalter Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 he is not a suspect. this is a ridiculous thread.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 he is not a suspect. this is a ridiculous thread. He's not a suspect, but he's left the draft to speak with police in person. It's not a good thing, either.
thebandit27 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 He's not a suspect, but he's left the draft to speak with police in person. It's not a good thing, either. The mother of his child (supposedly) was murdered...is he supposed to stay away?
Lurker Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) The mother of his child (supposedly) was murdered...is he supposed to stay away? IIRC, it hasn't been established yet that he's the father. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/la-collins-questioned-pregnant-murder-article-1.2203115 That's one of the things the authorities are trying to determine, so I suspect they'll ask him for a DNA sample...
