2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Topcat]

Anybody notice what happened to the LOS on that play...? Alabama OL is dominant. Najee is great, but that OL needs recognition.

Yep...Leatherwood and Evan Neal...dominant bookend tackles...

[Topcat]

Yeah, Leatherwood would be nice in the 2nd round... if he's there. A better run blocker than a pass blocker. We really need to be better at run blocking. Herbert's mobility negates the need for an elite pass blocker at LT. Another LT I like in the 2nd round is Dillon Radunz.

Landon Dickerson is another IOL I like.

Slater is solid in pass pro...if he's there at #10-12 overall when we probably pick, I would grab him before someone else does...

[Boltnut]

Camryn Bymun is a hit with me too. The 2 Oregon CB's... Washington has a couple CB's... and has anyone heard/seen anything about Appalachian State's CB's...?

[Boltnut]

LB Chazz Surratt in the 3rd would be nice, too.

[like54ninjas]

I haven’t seen any other college centers but that Dickerson is a bad ass big boy. Has the personality to transform a line too. I want him

I like him but he has a serious injury history. Risk vs. reward = where do you take him

[beachcomber]

No need to resign Williams.... he is always iffy health-wise.....

If we don't take OL, then CB should be chosen which is a huge need, WR is a need but you can get those later, and more than WR, a big solid durable RB is a huge need(we could use 2) or if there is a difference-making pass rusher there but I doubt that there are any other than Parsons. There are 2 elite coverage CB's in this draft and both will go top 5 to 7........ and we definitely need at least one...... we do not have any now.....

am going value shopping.... will take Eric Stokes over either of the "elite" CBs, will go UDFA @Edge w/Isaiah Chambers, and save my draft capital w/Trey Sermon rather than Najee, and.... no wideouts in the draft.... FA pls w/JuJu SchuSchu-stah

there are three priorities in this draft.... trade down to make up for the depth (and talent) we've lost w/trade ups, draft linemen as we have been woefully neglectful of that area of our roster since team Tommy John year one, and focus on durability.... if dude went banged up throughout his college career, there is def a greater chance of doing the same as a Pro.

[beachcomber]

I’d rather spend $15M on OL. Even if they prioritize OL in draft, they aren’t going to draft 5 starters. Even spending that money on a good DB would be a better use of the money imo. Last 3 games MW has produced 22, 43 and 26 yards, zero TDs.

like the mindset there, and.... do think Justin needs a dependable No. 2 @wideout.... would be surprised if MW is that guy, as would prefer to take my chances w/JuJu Schuster.

[beachcomber]

Of course not.
We draft Daviyon, the next Aaron Donald.
Nixon's the one.

bloody trencher....

[beachcomber]

Beach, What's behind your wanting to send Penei Sewell to Jacksonville, instead of the Jaguars taking the proper tact, according to every draft guide on the planet, and one that I agree with, and drafting Justin Fields? I'm trying to understand. Please. I'm putting a question to you straight.

you didn't like my ploy.... to take the sure thing in Sewell early and then trade back up into the first (w/us) to get back into the QB derby ??

if I'm the GM, eye take Sewell, and if and only then am eye besotted by someone, then eye get back in there w/a trade w/us to get a shot at a QB in round one.

personally am not feelin' any of the QBs for Jax, and if eye was them would stick it out another season w/Minshew, and look WR/CB late first/early second w/my next two picks.... build the team.... do not draft for need/by position.

I like the David Andrews signing - Chargers need a solid OC to me more than OG. Well after OT. Patriots might prioritize Thuney over Andres
Henry, Lamp, Davis, Jenkins, Vigil - all good with

Ingrama, Perryman, Green and Taylor - yep all can go
Feeney I think comes back

As for the draft Slater, Wyatt Davis any big old OL. Wyatt Davis might be a Zach Martin plug/[play OG - if you can't get a top flight tackle

And today, I probably am letting Mike Williams test the waters.

Agreed...but...

Chargers like Feeney at Center.
There are numerous WR's with round one grades, and I am definitely seeing mid and late rounders I like for us besides. Sign MW and MI on the cheap or move on.
