Trading up to select Collins may be one of Reese’s best decisions since taking over general manager duties in 2007. Collins earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2016 and was in the running for NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season. The 6-foot, 222-pound strong safety has not lived up to expectations in 2017, but still leads the team in tackles (56). Collins has already proven himself a steal with the 33rd overall pick in the 2015 draft and is likely to be anchoring Big Blue’s defense for years to come.
