2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[like54ninjas]

I had the late Max Tuerk.
Wanted some power in the pivot with Price.
This year I like Creed.
Is that a bad ting ?

It’s impossible to not like Creed “The Master of Disaster” Humphrey.
We can draft him and slide Feeney over to ORG.

Billy Price was the guy that some of us (cough) liked before we zeroed in on Isaiah Wynn.

Isaiah Wynn has given up 1 more sack than Tevi in 30 less snaps.....just FYI.

Exactly ninja re Creed.
A Center is top ten.
Wrap your brain around that.

Re Wynn vs Tevi Tough...
:lol:

No, it's not. I was Creed's biggest proponent last year (before he decided to return). But, would he be the best pick if we were picking top-10...? It depends on who is there. Or even more so, are there good centers later on in the draft..? I liked Frank Ragnow in the late 1st. I liked Brandon Linder in the 3rd round. I liked David Andrews in the 5th. I think we all agree that center is a position of need.

And for the record, I was ready to move on from Pouncey. I thought we should have drafted a center even before we brought on Pouncey... hence my love of Ragnow several years ago.

BTW... David Andrews will be a FA at season's end...

Herbert is working miracles with what we have today
As much as I’d love to believe we can transform our Oline in one offseason, I think it’s much more realistic to aim for adding one stud, upgrading another starting position and getting better depth.

Creed, Davis or whatever OT ninja had rated highest wherever we pick in round 1

Looks like will be out of the Sewell sweepstakes. Really want some size on our O-line, I feel we are smaller than most in the NFL.

Sewell isn’t the biggest OT relative to others and it’s not his size alone that makes him a great prospect, he moves very well and already can pass and run block effectively, not to mention climb to the second level and eliminate any linebacker on screens.
But yes, Sewell is a pipe dream as he projects to be the first non qb offensive guy taken. Unless we plan on picking top 5, I say we focus on the “teens”

Walker Little, Creed Humphrey, Wyatt Davis, Jalen Mayfield for our first round OL cluster.
Add in CBs - Caleb Farley, Shaun Wade, Patrick Surtain II.
passhrushers - Quincy Roche, Carlos Basham Jr, Joe Tryon.

[chargeroo]

If we stay at 8, we may be able to get either Walker Little or Creed Humphrey.
