I am genuinely torn between the two.

Collins.

Reasons are twofold. I see a lot of Cam Robinson in the write-ups I see on Jenkins, and I think there are better tackles that can be had either here at 25 or if you wait till 33. He'd excel at RT, but I don't know if I want him on the left as a long-term solution.

Second, I think someone with the instincts of Collins can come in, and learn the ropes from a guy like Schobert, and allow us to move on from him. It allows us to be multiple in our defensive fronts, where both LB can line up in a 3-4 or hybrid look. I don't really complain about Schobert, but he's going to get a little more expensive each year he remains on the team, and I'd be happier having a replacement in place that doesn't force our hand a year or two down the road. I don't see an immediate trade or release, but next year it begins being affordable where we actually save cap room by moving on should we choose to do so.
