2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[beachcomber]

Trade downs are nice, but not TT’s style. Statistically, it appears you do better by trading down.

just have a wholotta guys I like day two, and not so much day one, and.... wouldn't mind recouping our lost draft capital from the Kenneth Murray move up.

No...we need all the guys who are gonna be stars. Not gonna trade one really big bird in the hand for two small birds in the bushes!

Ya I read his profile and I’m sure he’s somewhat of a project, mid to late round pick
but having LoNeal as your dad has to count for something
if he were a Charger, the pressure is that much higher to live up to the name
I hope we target this guy

Yeah, me too. He looks incredibly slippery for a man of his size. Uses leverage well and has a knack for knocking the ball loose. It'd be great to get a legit NT behind Linval Joseph. Sigh, I miss Jamal Williams.

Pitts at 8!?!
jeez
I’m down for a weapon top 10 but that’s a big high for a TE
I think I like baby gronk better than Pitts

He is 6’6” / 240+, long arms/huge wingspan make for monster catch radius, really strong soft hands, runs low 4.6s to mid 4.5s, and is a matchup nightmare from inline, slot, or perimeter.

It's not that I don't enjoy this type of speculation/discussion/debate...but why is it a sticky this early in the season, and not in the draft forum? Seems kinda fatalistic to me...just an opinion.

He’s a TE. And the Bolts traditionally underuse their TEs.

Kellen Winslow and Antonio Gates would indicate otherwise.
Pitts is much more than a traditional TE.

Uh, but...how about an OT? U want to kick the O-line can down another year?

It’s still really early to pigeon hole ourselves into a position but an elite receiver or TE would also directly help JH, which is absolutely my main goal
I realize the majority here believe any first round OT is going to help the most and it certainly looks that way to me right now, but things can change and I’m not opposed to over drafting a bit to fit a desperate need but we have to be reasonable too

WALKER LITTLE - (OT) - STAN - SR - 6’7” / 320#
— Big, athletic, physical bully with a gritty play style. Tosses edge rushers around arc, dominates 1on1 matchups in run game, gets tremendous movement/uproots defenders, long arms/huge wingspan, impressive grip strength, deep knee bend anchor with ideal back arch, quality kickslide that gets vertical depth, needs to improve power step to close out inside counters, nasty finisher, high football IQ in stunt reco, solid movement skills to 2nd level, shows quality patience before throwing punch, power in strikes jar opponents from desired path, plays through whistle and loves to finish opponents to ground, bad game vs ND (18) but recovered to limit a total of 3 pressures/0 sacks over next 10 games.

Only 2019 game. Suffered knee injury towards end of game.

Quality breakdown of 2018 USC game.
