Zaven Collins would be a hell of a pick @28 if he's still there.
FWIW, I don’t actually think Zaven Collins is a great scheme fit. He’s a Patriots/Dolphins fit in the mold of Donta Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins, etc. We’ve shown a ton of interest in him though and we LOVE square peg-round hole LB’s.

I challenge y’all to do your first round mocks too and not do that simulator stuff. It’s a lot harder than I thought lol.

Shades of Stephone Anthony ?

I like Collins. His tape shows that he's also good in coverage & can play the run well. A lot of mocks have being selected somewhere between 20-25 or a pick or two after the Saints pick.

Line this guy up next to Demario & could be something we hadn't seen in a while. For a guy that big (260), he sure gets there in a hurry.

Maybe our coaches and scouts eyes are peeled wide open after seeing what Kwon could do next to DD.

FWIW, I also like Jabrill Cox.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Collins as well. I just think he’s a better fit in a multiple scheme and Dennis Allen is not creative enough to use him properly.

Now Jabril Cox, there’s a real baller. If we go with a different position in the 1st I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we traded up in the 2nd for Cox.

Mark Gilbert | DB Duke

4.36 40 at his Pro Day. Scouts had him highly rated high 2 seasons ago, then the injuries happened. According to his camp, he's completely healthy now.

By the way, he's the cousin of former NFL corner Darrelle Revis.

If he checks out it'll be good to have another CB that might be there

Surtain, Horn and Farley will be gone in the top 20 give or take a few picks. We have to pray Greg Newsome falls to us.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints


Oh boy if this true then we need to draft the most pro-ready player who isn’t going to be changing position/scheme and forget about drafting anybody that opted out last season. That’s pretty much how I was already approaching it anyway.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

That would suck if the Cows select Jaycee Horn . Just last year they drafted T Diggs who just had a solid rookie season.

With the Lattimore "situation", I'm all in on the Saints drafting another top tier CB in a few weeks.
