2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[AKFlyFisher]

Not that it matters too much, but Herbert's wonderlic was a 39 and not a 25. The 25 was a wrongly reported result. Tuas score was a 19, with the original reported result being 13. Herbert"s 39 makes a lot of sense when you consider his strongest asset this year was his ability to process information quickly.

Meaningless to me, but I'll respond anyway. Herbert was an academic All-American, we knew he was at least book smart. The question was if he was making right decisions based on what he saw (or maybe taught). I think Marino had a bad wonderlic as well. They should just dump the test.

I see no reason to dump the test. From the time Landry started using it to present it has provided another factor to consider. The number of sub 15 score success stories is relatively low. Vince Young's 6 was likely instructive. On the other end,, Fitzpatricks 48 doesn't overcome his other deficiencies. Like any metric, it can't be viewed in a vacuum. I've never quite understood the animosity about the wonderlic, but then my career is based on the LSAT and Bar, so maybe I have a test-centric bias!

TT is on my shit list.

TT or TTT?

TT = Tom Telesco
TTT = Too Tall Tillery

I read Tua retook the test. Same place I read Herbert’s 25 score tho.

No doubt in my mind a complete idiot can be an NFL star, and situational awareness is something else anyway. Still tickled Herby’s is high!

Marino's success came from his quick release. From the time his brain decided to let it rip til the time it was ripping was incredible.

I'm kind of liking edge rusher Miami Gregory Rousseau at No. 13. He opted out of playing in 2020. He's 6-7 and naturally 260 lbs. He needs to improve as a run-stopper, but paired with Bosa they might be the most destructive edge rushing duo in the league.

I like him, too, but I have my doubts that he's still there. My next favorite guy would be Surtain II, but I also think he will be gone. So with obviously Sewell being gone, that's the #1 OL, Edge & CB off the board. Not a year where there is an obvious pick after that. Just a wait & see & trust your scouts.

We need new scouts lol

I'd want to see his combine but yeah the kid has a high ceiling.

Agree on the athleticism, and him lining up next to Joey( ran A LOT of stunts at The U) but he gets ZERO pop on his initial contact.
The stunting and athleticism worked great at the collegiate level but I'm just not sure he's got the strength to get passed NFL O linemen on a consistent basis?

Maybe that's what he's been working on since opting out.
