2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Boltjolt]

If the obvious, as stated above transpires, just take BPA, AVG. Guarantee your franchise a plug and play, versatile offensive linemen, say thank you very much and move on. I’m really more intrigued who will be there in the 2nd. defensively? Could see a trade up to address CB, OLB or DL. So much depends on free agency, the right acquisitions are coming I believe to supplement the OL, Secondary and Pass Rush.

Absolutely, need to get past that first.

People are giving up on Tua too soon. His offensive line is mediocre, and his receivers are poor-mediocre. Tua didn't have a bad year per se. This year, he's likely going to have a true #1 receiver, and a year of experience.

What I like about his game is his feet, anticipation, and quickness to diagnose. He reminds me of a young Drew Brees. Does anyone remember Drew's first couple of years, on a sad team, with a poor offensive line?

First of all, i dont care how Tua turns out. He isnt our QB and im glad we didnt draft him.
Second, his recievers arent that bad and they worked ok for Fitz. Devante Parker is a good WR and Preston Williams is a decent reciever. Bowden is going to be a good slot reciever for them.

Drew Brees didnt have the comfort of the rules they have now back in 2002. Tua's problem right now is his recievers arent wide open like they were at Alabama and he isnt used to it yet.

You can try to defend Tua, but when Fitz steps in and is appreciably better, it’s glaring. I was on the Tua train a year ago. After this season, I’m betting the don’t pass line with Tua as the shooter.

Would you like him better if he said he thought he was going to be average?

No, I would prefer that he be a bit more humble and let his play on the field do the talking...few things worse than a loudmouth braggart who doesn't back it up...and even if he DOES back it up, it's still annoying...

And to think...some of the posters in this forum at one point wanted to trade the farm for Tua...

Doesnt bother me. At least he didnt beat up any women before he said it. Thats said, i dont think Pitts is a target but of course i could be wrong if they dont resign HH. For a TE id prefer a guy like Tremble anyways as Pitts may be more a WR hybrid type.

TT agrees with u on Tremble...what a name--"Tommie Tremble"--sounds like an action figure and/or member of Justice League...

That's what they said about Kellen Winslow.

That's what they said about Kellen Winslow.

Also like Gates or Aaron Hernandez (minus being a murderous sociopath, we hope). They are mismatch nightmares, but don’t bring much in terms of legit blocking like you get with a Jason Witten or Gronk.

Tommy Tremble sounds like the name of a chronic bed wetter.

Oh my, if we draft him, don't bring that one up again...

At first I thought it was a Broadway name! I guess we would have to change the narrative to Tremble with fear defenses out there!
