Tulsa LB Z. Collins is a perfect fit in our Defense

I love the player, and agree he's a good scheme fit with his versatility. The thing is I think we're desperate for a good edge rush specialist who wins outside and unschemed. Flo may not agree and counts on his schemes and gap rushes. How good is Collins's edge rush talent vs the more specialized ones- Paye, Phillips, Ojulari, Oweh, Ossai, Rousseau, etc.
 
That's pretty high praise.

Hard for me to see a comp from that era, as the LB assignment responsibility was completely different than the game today.

What, specifically, do you see as similarities?

People seem to be pointing out too many features. How he translates to the nfl is another story.
 
I like Z Collins at 18
He would be great help with how mobile And are these days. Perfect spy.

Hes more hash to sideline fast... like a zone player. Man coverage I dont see a ton of good stuff coming out of him. But overall, Im absolutely in love with him as a prospect and if we get him at 18, I wont be mad. But, I just dont think he's that guy for us. We've kinda telegraphed DE.
 
Equivalent of movie tape. We want to see tape against elite teams.
Well, sometimes that isn't always available in any significant amount.

Assignment responsibility, ability to hold up at POA, shed, flow along the LOS, cover on pass downs, etc can be assessed but yes, there is always a question mark with guys that haven't faced top level opposition.
 
I believe that pats will take him at 15
 
I know a few teams have him rated as a 1st rounder(via tweets from rep beat writers).

Dallas is supposedly one of them. Otherwords, I think if Miami wants him, at 18 it would be a good value to take him there
