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.

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.
