I do know Bell was better in coverage than Bates last year in coverage; so if we could easily take the better in coverage to replace Bates while the other thumps. Also, our first 2 draft choices are prototypical coverage-safety types. 

The best thing about Collins is he is the same age as Reggie Nelson when he started wearing stripes. 

To be fair because of the tons of cover 1 the Bengals used Jessie Bates area of coverage was ALOT more than Vonn Bell. Jessie Bates is one of the better cover 1 single high safeties in the NFL because of his instincts and range it allows the SS to roam. The Bengals Defensive will be taking a massive hit in their scheme without Bates in the lineup.
