2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Bolt Dude]

LOL...what's scary about a day 3 pick? That's where you are typically going to pick up guys with "traits" to develop....

Exactly.

Or, if the traits are just too insane to pass up, you take a gamble on talent on day 2. Case in point: DK Metcalf. Dude only had like 55 catches in his entire college career.

What does anyone think of centers Creed Humphrey or Landon Dickerson in the 2nd round? Not sure if Humphrey will last that long and no idea with Dickerson’s injury what teams will do. I like Humphrey a lot though, big, strong and a leader, albeit a tad slow.

Creed goes round 1.

Dickerson goes mid/late day 3 because of comprehensive injury history.

I must have missed something - what makes you think he may play Center?

Ideal Role: Starting center (teams will be well within rights to let him fail outside and work in if preferred).

[Formula 21]

Have his actual measurements been reported?

I saw them somewhere. 32 3/4” arms.

Interesting - DJ ranks him as the best OT prospect in the draft!

I know. But if you want a massive LT, it's Sewell.
If you prefer versatility, it's Slater.

I think I'd trust DJ over TDN dudes.

The top prospects list can be different to the drafting order.
Remember A. Rogers ?

His arms are 1/4" shorter than prototypical. Big deal.

Not a big deal, just cautious when we’re talking 13th overall and our biggest PON
slightly shorter arms, on a shorter frame (6’4”) some sources have him at 6’3”
depending on his quick feet is tricky for a pass happy offense especially late in the 4th
it’s reassuring to know our LOT can rely on some length for some margin of error.
I think he’ll end up playing G and dominating, so it’s still a win, but it’s not addressing what imho is our biggest PON
I feel more comfortable with taller and longer tackles
especially as a fit for JH who is sure to have designed qb runs off tackle

Massive, strong, athletic, young, highest ceiling
and im not so sure the versatility is that far off, I have little doubt PS can play LG, in fact, Voch Lombardi made a video saying that’s probably his best starting position upon entering the NFL

Fluker was taller and longer. So is Pip. I get it though. I'd still rather have Slater at LT than Darrisaw.
