2021 NFL Mock Draft: Zach Wilson rises to Jets at No. 2 in 3-round projection

The Kansas City Chiefs defense had no answers for Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. The Bucs controlled the game throughout as they were able to dictate things both on the ground and through the air. Of course, the problems were seen even before this game.

Back in the Divisional Round, they were able to hold off the Cleveland Browns after losing Patrick Mahomes but that might not have been the case had there been much more time. Cleveland couldn’t pass the ball on Kansas City, but Nick Chubb was bowling them over all day. The Browns took forever to score because of this, but again, if time didn’t become such a factor, Cleveland might have scored an upset with Chubb leading the way.

That’s why they use their first-round pick in this mock on Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 260-pounds, Collins is a monster on defense who can help in a myriad of ways. He’s adept at covering backs and tight ends in pass coverage and can even rush the passer when asked.

Where he will really help, however, is in his toughness as a tackler. Collins knows how to get after the ball carrier and his 260-pound frame can give opposing running backs fits — especially when he moves like a man 30-pounds lighter than he is.
