Tulsa LB - Zaven Collins

[baltcowboy]

I respectfully disagree with you on this because I have it under good authority from people on this board that Carson Wentz was.

One of those experts (Risen) cough, cough became an Eagles fan he loved Wince so much.

Also found this on his speed...

"Collins said he doesn't know his 40-yard dash time, but a wearable GPS measured his top speed during the game-winning interception return against Tulane at 21.06 miles per hour. It's unique athleticism for a linebacker."

If this is accurate, this is unreal...like 4.5ish speed for a dude his size isn't normal.

That's amazing speed! Blimey! He's fast!!!! He needs to be our number one option if The Penn State LB goes off the board.

I have dreams of him developing into an Urlacher-type LB. He’s got the body for it.

The reality is we can’t fix everything at once. Especially since we have become non factors in FA. We have no legitimate DT to anchor against the run. Jaylon is what he is. LVE is like glass and hasn’t looked remotely like the player in his rookie year. And 3 of our top DB’s hit FA this off season.

If Parsons is sitting there when we are up to pick there is no way I’m passing on him. IMO he’s the best defensive player in the draft. I can get my CB in round 2 and navigate the rest of the draft for a Safety and DT.

Oh, I agree. If Parsons is there, I'm taking him. But with our position, I expect him to be taken earlier. This leaves Collins to us.

Can't wait to see what Collins does at the combine.

Same. He's one of those players to watch at the combine. He can really improve his stock with a good combine. Curious to see what his official 40 time is.

Yea man I’ve watched his highlights . His numbers , the way he is built too and how athletic he is. This a guy I wouldn’t mind the cowboys drafting in the first I believe he’s gonna light up the combine

Was Collins in on that ridiculous brawl in yesterday's Bowl game with Mississippi State?

I really hate that idiot coaching in Starkville.

No, he declared for the draft on Christmas Eve, passed on the bowl game.

Okay good. That was just one less head ache a kid like him doesn't need going into draft season.

The play he was clocked over 20 mph

Definitely in my top 3.. with where I think we will be drafting

 

[KingintheNorth]

Right now, considering where we are likely picking, I want Jaycee Horn, Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah, or Zaven Collins.

Both JOK and Collins seem ideal for the type of defense Nolan wants to run.


Yes, I'm expecting Nolan to be back.

For me, Parsons is the dream but CB I think is going to be the reality.
