2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[like54ninjas]

PATRICK JONES II - (SDE/LEO) - PITT - RSR - 6’5” / 260#
-- Big, long, great 1st step, productive technician, with a ton of great reps on tape. Has several passrush moves/counters (1-arm post, push/pull, straight low center bull, speed shoulder bend, inside counter rip/swim, faint 2-hand swipe), sets physical edge to collapse versus inside run, beats pulls/traps with speed/length/stout physicality, can work inside on passing downs, forces turnovers (5 FF), strong aggressive hand strikes, excels with hand strikes/footwork in coordination, works back to QB instead of just getting pushed around the arc.

2020 Louisville game (not all snaps).

Decent breakdown.

JAYCEE HORN - (CB) - SC - JR - 6’1” / 205#
— Exciting package of size, speed, agility, intensity, competitiveness, and physicality. NFL heritage (Joe Horn’s son), tremendous COD/agility, excels in press/off-man, and off-zone, disruptive hands at catch point, very physical at TOR and CP, excellent footwork in pedal/transition/plant-break, explosive closing burst/speed, enthusiasm for edge/run support, quality physical tackler, quality but not elite ballskills, good flexibility to flip hips and run routes for WR, too handsy on double moves.

2020 Auburn game. Impressive vs a top 100 prospect in Seth Williams.

CHARLIE KOLAR - (TE) - ISU - RJR - 6’6” / 260#
- Elite work ethic provides for a prospect to exceed his physical abilities which are already fantastic. CK possesses elite size, length, catch radius, can play inline/wing/HBack/slot/out wide, field/location awareness, excels at high catch point, innate ball tracking, supreme contact balance, COD agility, incredible redzone target, and is a natural hands catcher of the football. More than Adequate positional blocker that stays connected to assignments, must improve upper/lower/core body strength.


2 Quality breakdowns.

Horn/Kolar in my early clustas.

PON's and slotted for us in rd 2/3.

This leaves
PRS (for MI)
and
IOL depth (for Turner/Qberry)
as positions of highest need in my view.

CHARLES SNOWDEN - (LEO/OTTO) - UVA - SR - 6’7” / 245#
-- Incredible H/W/S combo, just scratching the surface of his potential , length for days, big time motor, sets strong edge using length/quickness, relentless backside pursuit, learning zone coverage drops, offers position versatility, disrupts passing lanes, bends then 90 degree flattens which special for his size, starting to fill out frame (260#-265# projected in 2 yrs), limited passrush arsenal, inconsistent as a pass rusher but solid YOY improvement, needs strength/muscle mass addition, tremendous wrap up/drive tackler.


2020 NCST Game.

Solid breakdown of positives and opportunities. Player comparison is off.

I’d love to see us pursue Thuney as a UFA and cut ties with Turner if we can sign.

COY CRONK - (OG/OT) - IOWA/IU - RSR - 6’5” / 320#
— 4 yr starter OLT @ IU injury game 3 2019 cut short senior season/grad transfer to Iowa with move to ORT), will move to inside OG at NFL level, good feet/mover, lots of length he uses to run defenders around arc, tough and plays with nasty streak, loves to finish defenders to ground, easy mover to 2nd/3rd levels, needs to improve overall strength, punch locations are inconsistent, good hip flex action to drive through down blocks, solid deep anchor fundamentals, held own vs Chase Young in 19, solid down step to close out inside counters. Can hold up at OT but has very high ceiling @ OG.

2019 vs OHST

2018 vs UVA

2017 vs MICHIGAN

ZYON MCCOLLUM - (CB) - SHSU - SR - 6’4” / 200#
-- (No games until spring) - 4.4 ballhawk with size/length, plays with physicality and a nasty attitude, will flat out hit you, excellent ankle/hip flexibility, understands route concepts, GAME CHANGER (9 INT/2 pick 6’s, 4 FF) in just 3 seasons, disrupts catch point, speed turns need work, explosive plant/drive ability from zone back pedal, strong hands for ripping ball away, tremendous vision in locating potential receiving threats in zone, loves contact/fierce in run support, true impact tackler, impressive closing burst, needs work on TOR denial techniques, sleeper until the combine


Only highlights.

LORENZO NEAL JR - (DT/NT) - PUR - RSR - 6’3” / 325#
— Big, stout, physical man child that plays with leverage, quicks and power that’s lacks ideal length. NFL legacy, wrestling background, fantastic at POA, sticks/stacks/sheds single or double teams, explosive out of stance with leverage, has outstanding quick slap/swim move, provides some ability on passing downs, wrecks OCs when in 0tech, good movement laterally to close zone lanes, ball separation skills (4FF), lack of length limits tackling radius.

2018 vs NEBRASKA

I loved his Dad but he doesn't make enough plays to suit me. He often seems to be unaware of where the ball is - like still trying to get the QB but the QB handed off to a RB who was long gone.

LNJR is a 0/1Tech with upside as a pass rusher from the interior. Still needs work with disengagement skills, play reco, and lacks ideal tackling radius. As a later day 3 prospect, I love his potential, motor, quickness, and lateral agility.
