I see what you mean now. Makes me wonder where the original report originated since Brandt suggests Blake wasn't requested to workout at running back, especially with the talk of several organizations believing he's better at running back or wide receiver.Brandt said in his tweet that Blake didn't have a workout at RB. I think he was making the point that every other player that was asked to work out at another position did. That's how I read it at least..
And when you reach a certain age, time gets jet engines strapped to its back. :frown:
I've noticed that most Mocks have him plummeting. He had been a consensus top 10 pick and now most have him in the teens and 20s. I even saw some that had him in the 2nd round. I can't believe with as many teams as need help at safety would let the BEST safety of the draft just linger. Just don't see it.
Many are doubting his cover skills. Great in the box against the run but in space he can have his problems. I still believe he will go in the 1st round.
I'm not saying he'll slide to the second round, but it depend on the type of S a team needs - if those 8 are wanting a true Free Safety type that can play centerfield, then collins might not be what they want. Pure in the box Safeties are not in as much need, kinda like RBs and big thumper LBs.
To their credit, all it takes is one team making a complete surprise for a mock draft to be ruined. Plus, most guys will tell you not to pay attention to their mock draft and more to their draft grades or rankings.
Ive been reading and hearing that Kevin White maybe the Raiders guy at #5. So that means Cooper slides a bit further....
Yeah, White is getting more love right now because he has more upside than Coop, but folks also admit Coop is the more polished receiver.
