Collins expressed his excitement in joining his new team:

Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News felt that the Giants were right to send those picks to the Tennessee Titans in order to move up and grab Collins:

Consider Giants offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz a fan of the pick:

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller listed Collins as the No. 1 safety in the draft and labeled him a starter right out of the gate.

The biggest knock on Collins' game is that he isn't good enough in pass coverage, and that was likely a factor behind his slide into the second round. If he can get a little bit better in that regard, Collins could be a massive steal for New York at No. 33.
