1. Landon Collins

Alabama safety Landon Collins, is the biggest name out of this safety group by far. Coming from Nick Saban’s defense, Collins is a true gamer in his ability to do anything you could ask of him. For one, his run stopping and tackling ability trumps almost every secondary player available in the draft. Plus he’s shown the ability to cover tight ends and slot receivers very well.

Collins is a very reasonable pick for the Giants at the 9th overall pick. He could right away step in and start in the Giants secondary and could be given a similar role that Rolle once held for years.
