player. 56. <p>ROLL TIDE as the first Bama defensive player comes off the board. Corner is probably a little bigger need but I really like the fit of Collins here. A safety who can play down in the box but also drop back, attack the ball in the air and make plays that way.</p> <p>An impact safety with all the tools to be a tremendous asset immediately, Collins would be a nice pick for Cincy and hopefully one of several in this class who can come in and help them get past that Wild Card round.</p> <p>The only concern I have is that many Alabama players come into the NFL and struggle. Some feel it’s because the program wrenches all they can out of the players and it takes them a year or two to recover enough to excel at the Pro level. It is a concern, but right now I feel like I have seen enough to feel Collins can buck that trend.</p>. S. Alabama. Landon Collins. 21
