2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Boltjolt]

I'm assuming that you think Joey is pretty good (7.5 sacks last year). 29 other pass rushers (excluding Jamaal Adams and Devin White as they are blitzins safety and MLB) had 7.5 sacks+. 21 of those 30 have 33 1/4" arms or better. 14 of those 21 have 34+ inch arms. 4 have 35+ inch arms.

That's 21 pass rushers that have longer arms than Slater, AVT, Cosmi, Jenkins, Eichenberg, Carman, Christensen, and Mayfield. There are no NFL LT's with 33' arms...

Joey played 12 games last year and is top five as a pass rush efficiency in the league.

I read the mocks myself and I know what they are saying about him, but I've watched everything I could find on him and I came away impressed. I'm sure you must have noticed in years gone by that the writers are often wrong.

If I felt certain he'd be there at 47, I'd simply take AVT in the first and take Little in the second - and Herbert would love it.

If his knee is good, he won't be there. If his knee isn't good, why bother...?
NFL doctors will take a real good look at that knee. It's been a year and a half... there should be solid answers by now.

4. Jenkins. RT-only. His comments suggests that he knows this. Bears need a RT. BTW, his arms are 32 7/8 (not 33 1/2). He'll be the only sub-33 inch armed tackle in football (I think).

Where did you see this? I’ve seen multiple sources and they all say 33 1/2”.

Question still remains "Is 7.5 sacks good enough...?" Name the cut-off number and I'll re-calculate. The ratio will be roughly the same though (67%)...

Good enough for what? What's the point? Isn't this an arm length topic?

One factor that should be considered is that Bosa had "Not-so-Supa" Mel on the other Edge...Ingram and his ZERO sacks...all...year...long...

We're talking cut-off points also...

Is over/under 7.5 sacks the difference between a Sacker and a Slacker?
Is over/under 33" the difference between a T-Rex and an ElastoTackle?
While we're at it...
Is over/under 3 picks the difference between a Shutdown Corner and the Toast of the Town?

ESPN is incorrect with his H/W so what makes you think they would get any of it correct?
Didnt see any prospect metrics/measurables on the packers link.

33.5” in arm length for Teven.

That’s what was reported immediately after his pro day. Jeez, the actual combine is so much better for data. Hope we never have those wonky pro day combines ever again.

33.5 it is then. Still goes to the Bears as a RT. Or if they think Ifedi (1-year, 5 mil) is the future RT, then Jenkins to RG.

I see him going to the Raiders, unfortunately. They need a RT + Mark Davis loves 2 things: speed and nasty. He went speed last year.
