We might eat some dead money in bonus proration, but I think that is when you begin to look at moving on from at least one of those guys. You don't draft a guy like Collins based on today. You draft him based on 2-3 years down the road.

If you believe he is capable of replacing either LB, not necessarily this August, you can't dismiss him as a potential pick.

Only if he is on a grade tier by himself. You don't kick one of your most invested in players to the curb to take a guy who is graded in the same tier as a guy who would fill a need.

Urban didn't bring in Schobert, that isn't his guy.  He hasn't invested anything in him.  No way would they take Collins if they don't feel like he is better than him.  Schobert is a decent player but Collins has All Pro potential.  You would draft Collins if you feel like his is the best player on you board, and if he falls to 25 he likely is.  You've been preaching quality of quantity in the other thread but here you want to draft for need instead of taking the best player, lol
