ALLEN1QB Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 he is not a suspect. this is a ridiculous thread. The police never say a person is a suspect early on in a case possibly person of interest for legal reasons. You are dreaming if you think being questioned in a murder will have zero impact on the draft. Teams look at a players whole life as much as possible for character flaws. He will drop I guarantee it.
thebandit27 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 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... Right, that's what I was trying to say with "supposedly"...I didn't click the link, but he was allegedly scheduled to take a paternity test next week.
4merper4mer Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 OJ was reported to be in Chicago when Nicole had a little problem at home. You can be sure that the NFL teams are trying to find out whatever information they can. Info clearing him or almost? Maybe he drops one or two spots Info hinting he might be implicated? Precipitous drop. Complete lack of info? Who the heck knows?
BarleyNY Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) No GM is going to take a big risk on a guy who MIGHT be tied up in something like this. Teams are all totally mum on this tragedy because they're all scrambling for information. Some team will take the risk at some point - probably Dallas, Cincy or the like because those teams don't seem to much care about image as it relates to the personal lives of their players and because there isn't a GM answering to an owner. As for his fall, I wouldn't be surprised if he went straight on past the Bills at pick 50. It will depend a great deal upon what teams find out between now and tomorrow night, of course.

Until we hear otherwise, having someone you know killed isn't a character flaw. You and I don't know much to that point - it's possible he was involved but so far there's not a huge indicator to say he will definitely fall. Though I agree he will definitely be looked at very closely for the next 24 hours and teams likely know a lot more than we do.
The Jokeman Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 It depends, who else is on the board? But I'd say hypothetically yes.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Why not after what else we've brought in?

Augie Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Apparently, the FSU police are not investigating this one. If they were, the poor girl might still be alive. (My son graduates from FSU this weekend! Hooray to one off the payroll...in theory.)
YoloinOhio Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 If they were, the poor girl might still be alive. (My son graduates from FSU this weekend! Hooray to one off the payroll...in theory.) congrats to him ... And you lol
Augie Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 congrats to him ... And you lol Thanks. Internship this summer, but then probably back for Masters. It never ends...
dezertbill Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) According to Baton Rouge police, they have not heard yet from Collins or his lawyer as of Wednesday evening. Strange for someone who "isn't a suspect". Especially since it's the day before the draft, one would think he wants to get this cleared ASAP, or atleast show that he is cooperating without hiding anything so teams wouldn't be hesitant to take him. As it sits now, Collins not only won't be touched in the first round, I would be surprised if he is drafted at all. The longer he stays in hiding, the farther he'll fall. No team would be willing to take that risk. It's too much heat with the current climate of the NFL for one team to absorb Edited April 30, 2015 by dezertbill
purple haze Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Jeez, she gets murdered just days before the draft?? That seems "suspicious". I think she's just trying to ruin his draft position. I know humor is healing agent, but in this case, a dead mother, a baby involved... not yet. But to answer the original question, He'll get drafted, but I don't know how any team can do it in the early rounds without knowing more information. If he goes where he is supposed to, I guess it's safe to assume he'll be in the clear. But this circumstance is just ugly all the way around. Edited April 30, 2015 by purple haze
Estro Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) No GM is pulling the trigger on La'el Collins in the 1st round when he is being questioned in the murder of a woman who may have been carrying his baby. Even if he is not a suspect, that does not mean he can't become one later. The fact that police want to question him, certainly does not help his cause. Unless police come out and say he has no connection what so ever to the murder investigation by tomorrow, there is no chance what so ever of him going in the 1st round. If there is no updated news on his status come Friday, his name will not be called on Friday either. Edited April 30, 2015 by Estro
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 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? need to see how involved in the murder he is.
maddenboy Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 As it sits now, Collins not only won't be touched in the first round, I would be surprised if he is drafted at all. The longer he stays in hiding, the farther he'll fall. I'm leaning this way. In theory. I mean, how often do pregnant women get shot several times? But once the 5th round comes, the risk will probably be worth it for some team. going to be fascinating to watch. Popcorn time. need to see how involved in the murder he is. yeah, but we wont know anything in the next 3 days. That's the whole question. risk / reward.
