2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[like54ninjas]

am all about the trade down this next year.... first round trade down w/Jax.... second round trade down w/the Brownies,

We have no idea where we will be slotted or what prospects will be on the board.

Haha
you’re ruining the plans ninja

I kind of like what Telesco has done with a top 10 slot.

Not wild about what he has done in the 2nd round.

[Boltnut]

Redskins need a qb too. Sewell may not go in top 3.

It's so hard to tell. Do they give up on their 1st round QB... or do they protect him with a real LT and see if he's any good?

According to the talking heads
haskins is as good as out
Rivera is not a fan

so does that mean you'd be open to trading down given certain particulars ??

or are you married to your boy Creed, and/or some of your other 40/50 so candidates for the Chargers' first rounder ??

personally, outside of Trey Lance, not overly infatuated w/many if any of the early birds, and would rather have an additional two day two picks, w/a later first and later second as the opportunity cost.

I am always looking for value so too much to be determined yet.
Creed, Walker, Caleb, WDavis, Roche, Rousseau, Jones II and maybe Mayfield are my evolving early cluster.

No analysis needed.
This is our guy.

First they have to get him to commit to football and be a study of the game for which he hasn't been.
Less social media wouldn't hurt either.

[Charge!]

I'd be happy with this draft and signing a solid CB in FA:

9: R1 P9 EDGE Gregory Rousseau - Miami - a dominant pass rusher to start opposite Bosa
41: R2 P9 RB Najee Harris - Alabama - a real every down 230 lb fast, power back who is a great receiver out of backfield or downfield....
73: R3 P9 OT Liam Eichenberg - Notre Dame - An OT from TT's favorite school.... =)
96: R3 P32 LB Palaie Gaoteote IV - USC - another big fast nasty every down LBer with great pass rush skills
111: R4 P9 WR Chatarius Atwell - Louisville - a tyreek hill type speed burner WR/PR
150: R5 P9 C Ryan McCollum - Texas A&M - more beef
188: R6 P9 G Kevin Jarvis - Michigan State - more beef
232: R7 P9 WR Emeka Emezie - NC State - another 6-4 WR who catches everything with his hands with many acrobatic grabs and has speed and power to break tackles.....
