I e always thought he’d be the ideal replacement for Kwon Alexander. Either him or wait to get Jabril Cox.

That is a really good time for him even if it is hand timed. Some were projecting him to run in the high 4.6 low 4.7 range. He might not make it to us. His top end speed was his biggest question Mark

Would take him in a heartbeat but will have to move up I think.

Because even though he's bigger, he's faster and has the same quickness.

Maybe. He also seems like a player that can take over Demario’s spot in a year or two

the vertical is enticing.

don't give a flying frick about his 40 time.

40 times are so overrated.

This “Rev” needs more than the law should allow.

The first thing would be for him to stop interneting.

Collins has been a guy I’ve wanted on the Saints ever since we lost to Tampa Bay. Watch interviews of the guy. He fits the Payton mold and can be the next leader of the team and be a force on the field as well.


Hope he falls to us

I like his game but the Saints need help on the Dline and in the secondary.

our cornerback situation is unacceptable right now.

Yup. Collins or Cox would be a homerun pick for the Saints.

That’s a good time. I’d like for him to fall to us, but not sure that happens. The mocks are all over the place on him.

2 CBS mocks have the Saints picking him, 1 CBS mock has him going to Kansas City after our pick and another CBS mock has him going at 18. WalterFootball has him going in the teens. PFF has him early in the 2nd round. Draftblasters has him going 22 overall. Todd McShay and Mel Kipsr have him going to the Browns at 26.

With this 40 time, we may have to move up if we want him now.

I don't see how collins would make it to 28.

Seems like a player you would have to trade up for.

This year, it’s been said 200 players are moving up after their pro day

I can see it. Feels like a deep draft especially the first 50 picks or so. Some good players are going to slide and linebacker isn’t one of those premium positions. Zaven is also projected to be the 3rd or 4th linebacker off the board. I feel like it isn’t crazy to see him go as the second guy though but time will tell. Anyways you have 5 qbs projected to go in the firsts. It is a pretty deep tackle draft and I think we will see a lot more of those guys taken in the second half of the 1st round then you are seeing right now. You have at least 4 good corners prospects projected to go in the first. You also have a ton of wide receiver talent.

I personally would love to see us get any of the following:
Horn, Collins, Bolton, Marshall, or Newsome.

Why are we scouting him if we will just draft a center anyway?

Hmmm, Ireland just checked out Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in person at ND, and now Zaven Collins at Tulsa.

LB is definitely in play.
