Who are you taking in this scenario?

I watched highlights of Zaven Collins (Tulsa) play and loved him. He is great for highlights and you fall in love with him.

Since then I've watched several Tulsa complete games and I gained a different point of view. He disappears for large portions of time. He is easily consumed by offensive linemen. Sometimes it just seems like he is just running around out there on the field. After the highlights, I was expecting so much more and was disappointed with his whole game.

I think Zaven Collins is a talented and special player. You can see that on the highlight recording, but I think he can be so much more.

Perhaps the right NFL team and coaching would help him be a more consistent player.

Exactly.

He's interesting for sure but JOK is just on a different level.

Thanks for the insight. I’ve watched and read a lot about Collins and love his potential...but haven’t watched any full games. Hearing that is a little disappointing.

Part of why I’ve kinda though all along that Collins could realistically be the pick (well before this thread) is because WR, OT and C are spots we can get a stud in rounds 2-5 due to the depth of the class when there may not be the opportunity to get a top LB talent later on. I could be wrong. If they end up picking him, I hope House can make him into a star so he and WGJ can own the middle for the next 7 years. That would be amazing.

Having a top notch WR2 like Terrance Marshall would make this offense nasty if we can get LT locked down.
