Collins was projected as a Round 3 or 4 pick. Lot's of folks thought he was a reach at the time at 51.
Absolutely, most fans thought it was a reach because he was projected to go a round or two later by the "experts". I studied Collins and actually liked the pick. However, I didn't like the first round pick. Some Tedford QB out of Cal.
