Zaven and his mom used to be my next door neighbors and Ive known her since grade school. As of last week the Cowboys have had ZERO contact with him. :( One of just a few teams that hadnt at least had a zoom meeting with him and hes been training IN Dallas since January. Hes a SMART kid...projecting to go somewhere between #20 and the end of the 1st round as of now. Zavens pro day is 4/2.

That's strange because I could have sworn there were early reports that Dallas loved him and would even consider him at 10. Then it kinda died down and haven't seen him more about him.

And that came from Brugler too.

It was before we hired Quinn though, IIRC. Maybe new coach, new system doesn't fit Collins

Love the player. I have mocked him to us 10-15 times over the last couple of months. Either after some trades or trading back up to get him. I have seen him fall to 44 in mocks a couple of times lately and I hope that's a trend that continues on draft day. Otherwise it will take a trade scenario for us to land him.
Unless, the board falls in such a way that they are forced to reach for someone at 10 and they decide well, if we're reaching, we might as well reach for a true stud for the defense.

The very first Draft Show Dane Brugler said “I know the Cowboys like him.” Dane has contacts in the league. He’s been compared to Urlacher, Kirkland and Trotter. I have no problem with him at 10 but I don’t think the Cowboys view LB as much as a need as fans do.

If you want to rebuild the Defense go Collins at 10, Adebo at 44, DE and OT in 3.

I think when Quinn was hired, Collins wasn't a great fit for his defense. He would be best in a hybrid scheme. In the 4-3, he is probably a strong-side linebacker.

He should be able to play MLB. I’m letting LVE walk after this season. No way should he get paid $11M next season or get a long-term contract.

I don't think teams envision Collins as a Mike LB, more of a 3-4 OLB. I agree, wouldn't pick up Lve's option. Team is going to need to rebuild their LB room.

I’ve heard Bruglar say it twice now that the Cowboys scouting department really likes Collins.
