2021 Draft: Zaven Collins MLB Tulsa, Jabril Cox MLB LSU (1 Viewer)

[NOFALCONS10]

This kid Zaven Collins is who I want in round 1 should the Saints fail to get Mac Jones

This guy is built like Brian Urlacher or Junior Seau at 6'4 260 and plays like it at times too.



Not only that, he even somewhat strangely looks like Seau too with 4 ints in 7 games.





Imagine him solidifying the middle of the defense.






Besides Collins, Jabril Cox of LSU also seems to be a perfect 3rd round cover linebacker option with 9 interceptions to his college career credits.

Collins is interesting.....but it never fails in any draft thread to include an LSU guy.

Depends on their speed at the combine. Both have the size but I want 4.6 speed at LB in this modern NFL even if they are smaller. Think Levonte David or Devin White or Deion Jones or Demario Davis.

My uncle is a alum and season ticket holder (they live in Broken Arrow/suburb of Tulsa) claims he's a legit talent.

Guess I need to watch more tape on Zaven now .

Yeah Collins is a 1st team All-American so probably a legit talent.

Another interesting bit of info is that he played QB in high school.

All those players ran sub 4.6. You want a 4.4 guy at lb

What other linebacker in the country has 9 career ints?

 

[TruSaint]

He’s a really good linebacker and has even showed the ability to rush the QB. He’s got a nice urlacher/LVE/Kyle van noy vibe to him

Luke kuechly only ran a 4.58.

Same as Urlacher and Ray Lewis.

Seau ran a 4.61

I would be very happy with a 3 down linebacker in the first.

Agreed.

The team has thrown so many half-measures at the position since Vilma retired

Ellerbee
Roberson
Alonzo
Teo
Anzalone
Alonzo
Etc.


that it's time to sure up the position once and for all.

Nice to see pictures of the guy everyone will be pissed that we didn’t select.

Do they need to have a D initial name?
