kgarrett12486 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If Lavonte walks in FA, I think I want to find a way to get Zaven Collins on this team. Can you imagine pairing him with White? That might be two of the most athletically gifted people on planet earth for their size playing side by side... Collins is unreal in what he offers and he is the size of a 3-4 OLB. This is from PFF: Collins did unprecedented things at the linebacker position this season for Tulsa. His 93.7 coverage grade sits well above the previous PFF record set by former UCLA Bruin and current Minnesota Viking Eric Kendricks in 2014 (92.1). “The 6-foot-4, 240-pound off-ball linebacker tallied four interceptions, three forced incompletions and nine passing stops when dropping into coverage. He was also one of the top blitzing weapons in the country. All told, Collins picked up 16 pressures on 51 rushes and was the only player at his position to record 90.0-plus grades in coverage and as a blitzer.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles drafted Darron Lee in the first rd. Even if David resigns, I would expect them to draft another ILB by the 4th round. I want Minter resigned, but I want him 4th on the depth chart. His lack of speed is very evident in the Bowles defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I just have a feeling Bolton, Cox, or Collins will be on the roster for the Bucs opening night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucsDraftGeek47 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 if any good package comes to us for pick 32 i'd trade down in a heartbeat getting an extra 2nd or 3rd could go a long way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Treat yourself to some Zaven Collins highlights. If he played in a power 5 school, no doubt he would be a 1st rdr. He s just about as big as JPP, can drop into coverage like David and can rush the passer off the edge. I think his position is football player. I would have no issue with him being the first pick even if David resigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to disagree with you , buy i took your advice and watched some of his highlights... Jesus This guy has future All Pro potential written all over him If he's there , barring a trade back, I'd take him over Jalean Philips who I previously had wanted more Collins looks so fluid , he's definitely a hybrid, but the fact that he had so many picks and can cover is just crazy We are lucky hes talked about falling that far, I feel like if the combine had happened, this guy would have shot up to top 15 pick status Edited February 21, 2021 by BucsDraftGeek47 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I do believe there is a chance Jaelan Phillips is not on Licht s draft board. Why? I cannot recall a prospect that had an injury history Licht drafted. Howard and Vea have been injured in the pros, but IIRC did not have an injury history in college. If Phillips did have 3 documented concussions during his freshmam yr, is this enough of an injury to be concerned?

Aside from his covering skills right? I'm not ready to let David go. He better be re-signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to let David go. He better be re-signed. The allure of Collins is the adaptability. If David resigns, in theory Collins is a back up. However, Bowles uses so many sub packages especially playing from a lead. He would allow JPP to play 3 tech with Collins or David playing OLB. If Bowles blitzes White thru the A gap. now Collins or David would drop into coverage instead of JPP, Shaq, or Nelson. If anyone gets hurt at ILB or OLB, Collins would just eat up more snaps. Collins didn t play against elite competition and pretty much just played zone, so there are questions. If the Bucs would draft him, he comes into a perfect situation to continue to develop. He would not be a starter, but would get a lot of snaps. Eventually White and Collins would be the long term tandem. We have to assume the Bucs will be playing from the lead a lot this up coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as her can take on o-lineman then I'd be on board with that. Which it looks like Collins can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I like Jeremiah, Mac Jones at 34. Barrmore and King in the 40s is eye opening. I find Jeremiah to be pretty plugged into what the league thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Late round OT Josh Ball is an intriguing prospect. Has the size (6'8/310) and athleticism to be a starting LT down the line. He had an off field issue and ended up at Marshall after CC. I'd take a flier on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
