Saints draft profiles: LB Zaven Collins, Tulsa

With eight picks at their disposal, the positions of cornerback and linebacker should take priority with their first-round selection.
This series has focused on top prospects at cornerback, but there are playmakers at linebacker New Orleans could target at No. 28 overall. One prospect in particular, who had one of his first substantive virtual interviews with the Saints, stands out: Tulsa’s Zaven Collins.
