2021 1st round pick is Zaven Collins

[Cardiac]

hehe...

Not sure what you mean. You are wrong or ................ simply want to complain to complain.

I don't love the pick but I don't hate it either. Not much else out there that made sense.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I love this pick..very similar to brian urlacher

Except urlacher was timed a full tenth of a second faster.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Shoulda picked Fairley.

Lol. After raging against Farley all week.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

At least I can love this

Just read on PFF that Collins graded out as the best LBer this year & had the highest grade in coverage for a LBer ever recorded. Says he's 260 lbs but when he was drafted Booger said he weighs 270.

 

[PACardsFan]

I agree. Don’t like Hicks at all but VJ insists on playing him

That’s because we didn’t have anyone else on the roster at that position better than Hicks. Now we do!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If that is true, its grounds to fire Keim and his entire scouting department on the spot.

He is so full of crap, I can barely stand it at this point.

If they legit had Zaven Collins....a small school LB without big time production....who wasn't even a first round prospect until 2 weeks ago....ranked THIRD out of Chase, Smith, Waddle, Sewell, Pitts, Horn, Surtain, Parson, Slater, and AVT.....then they are just plain not good at their jobs.

I would happily eat crow if we are looking back in 4 years and Collins is the 3rd best player out of that group. More likely we are talking about how we aren't picking up his 5th year option.

I think he was joking.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

He had the Cardinals cap in his hand while he was drafted. This was a done deal

I can’t say I know much about the players in this draft.... but watching that makes me want to root for this kid

 

[TJ]

Did he really say this?

Nothing like Urlacher

 

[Hoodhero]

Don't forget it's a 17 game season now. The rookie definitely going to end up having to contribute with increase of snaps especially with our older line up

Booger is a moron. As soon as I saw him on the ESPN team, I turned back to the NFL Channel.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This is actually why I am so furious with this pick. It's the opposite Sunk Cost. As @cheesebeef has pointed out repeatedly we EASILY could have kept Reddick with our cap space.

It's Wasted Cost.

Different position. Reddick was officially an undersized edge and Collins is an oversized Mike.

 

[AZ Native]

Have you seen him play

Yep, both of them.

 

[MadCardDisease]

He had the Cardinals cap in his hand while he was drafted. This was a done deal

they get a box full of hats from every team.

Stop blocking my reasons to self affirm this pick. I am trying to let my emotions override my sense

 

[JosiahLee]

Love the pick

Exactly. I don't like the pick. I love the pick. For who was left on the board at #16, this was the pick for me.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The kid is going to have a lot to learn if he’s going to wear the earpiece on defense and direct JJ, CJ and others on their assignments.

This isn’t a Reddick transition. Do you guys remember everything Vance said about why Hicks was so important when we signed him? If he’s getting any time early....... it’s going to be in special packages, because he’s going to have to be a defensive savant to learn all the nuances of this defense in one summer.

I really hope this is Wagner and Wright. Willis and Bowman. Etc.

what we have here is three down size, athleticism, and coverage skills along with the ability to stay in base more often. Let’s see how it all plays out.

Shocking.

Maybe Keim traded Collins to the Vikings. At least we can only hope

 

[football karma]

an overlooked soft spot in the D last year:

Jordan Hicks wasnt very good. 54th rated LB by PFF with a 50 grade, 40 vs the run

the Rams, Seahawks and 49ers all run first.

the 49ers ran 30 times for 227 yards in week 16 with the playoffs on the line.

this was a need.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Different position. Reddick was officially an undersized edge and Collins is an oversized Mike.

They say he's excellent in coverage but his weight scares me. Can't be any slower than Hicks so we'll hope for the best.

Where's the stinking LOVE button for this video!

He and Isaiah are going to be Dwash and Dansby 2.0.
