B+. Jalen Collins will be a great addition to the Atlanta Falcons’ secondary. With Vic Beasley drafted yesterday to improve the pass rush, GM Thomas Dimitroff now turns to the defensive backfield with Collins. He has a blend of size and speed and he has a ton of upside. He needs time to develop in Dan Quinn’s system, so don’t expect him to make a major impact right away, but the potential is certainly there. This guy can play. The concern is that Collins has only made 10 career starts, but the raw talent is there. Overall, I like this pick a lot. Collins is a first round player and the Falcons have got him in the second. Dimitroff has made a great start to the 2015 NFL Draft.. CB. LSU. JALEN COLLINS
