At No. 16, the Cardinals selected Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins. Collins, long believed to be among Arizona’s top targets, will step in to the role previously filled by Haason Reddick.
The Cardinals were reportedly keeping their fingers crossed for Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain, Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, or South Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn. In reality, those three players were probably higher on their board than Collins. Still, Collins is one heck of a consolation prize.
Eh not in love with this pick. Maybe they thought Newsome was a reach here?
Awesome pick!
Keim is a joke. How many underwhelming linebackers can you take in the 1st round? Going for 3 in 5 years.
His own family said, “who?” When he was drafted.
Steve “ I will have one more” let’s Reddick go who had 12.5 sacks for an overpay on an aging JJ WATTS. Not saying JJ isn’t a sure fire HOF’er but at this point in their careers for the $$$ Reddick was the better option. Now Keim drafts his replacement and waste another pick on someone he shouldn’t of had to replace.Not that Collins isn’t worthy but this is STUPID. Now we can all wait for training camp when he will announce he won’t play the position he is naturally a fit at. Lord Help Us.
Love the pick, they’re set linebacker with Simmons and Collins for the next 10 years!!
Neither one will play corner though. Good luck covering WRs.
