Not a shocking pick, but not my favorite. Collier, however, is versatile and is more a replacement for a Bennett role than a direct replacement for Clark.
Collier lacks timed athleticism and testing, but he is strong and refined as a rusher and one of the best run defenders in the draft. He doesn't cede ground at the point of attack, and he has a hell of a motor. With time in an NFL conditioning program, we may be looking at an ultimate utility on the line who can set the edge on early downs and rip through the interior on passing downs.
High floor. Potentially a low ceiling, though, unless he can add muscle and lose fat on his frame for some additional explosiveness. He does the things that you can't teach well, though.
Edit: Also, he's only 6'2", but has 34 inch arms and still put up 25 reps. Pretty good.
