Jalen Collins was selected in the second round because the Falcons believed the rangy cornerback could be a real asset in Dan Quinn's defense. I'd have to agree with that assessment, but the real question is how soon that impact might come.
Collins is making his way back from injury, which puts him at a slight disadvantage as a rookie trying to steal a role away from veterans like Robert Alford and Phillip Adams. When you throw Dezmen Southward in the mix and consider rookie seventh rounder Akeem King, there's a ton of competition at cornerback, and Collins is going to need the time to get up to speed.
