2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[Leslie Grossman]

Tuning into Georgia vs Tennessee. Hopefully it equals Alabama vs Tennessee. Lots of prospects.

Don't see it lasting but I hope you are right. If so, and he is resigned I shift focus to a guy who is guard center versatile.

Understand versatility, but Linsley is a specialist, lets develop next.

Not lost on you guys but Linsley has been frequenting the injury report. This week it's a fever? Know he is battling tendinitis in his knees, end of last season was his back, just doesn't bode well for longevity at his age. So Center is a must. Clap can be your guard center versatile.

Pip is playing very well. No need to draft a RT high. I doubt they see him as a swing tackle now.

Great OT list. Hopefully we resign Pipkins. Which would bump down need on your list (understand love for Fashanu) but what really need is a Center list. Having Linsley or not having Linsley is night and day for this OL.

Agree. A center to groom behind Linsley is a big need. I can see us using an early day 3 pick on one.

For our premium picks I like WR, DT, ED, LB, S.

The safety pick will depend on Woods' development.

Nice list though im not sure we are looking at a RT early anymore. Maybe better depth than Storm....and we have that in Salyer, unless he will take over for Fieler.

Yeah, I agree. I posted that before Pipkins and Salyer started balling. It's a nice feeling to have quality pieces on the OL. Now I want a legit speed threat/dynamic WR. Had my eye on Quentin Johnson but he's playing his way into the top-10.

I am leaning that way too unless Feiler really picks it up as the season goes but seems unlikely.
The smarter move due to age seems to be resigning Pipkins now for our swing tackle. Gotta have depth. Salyer is currently saving the season.
Still drafting a new starting RT.

Fieler will be cap casualty as Salyer kicks inside to LG. Can’t wait to see left side next year when Slater returns.

Agree, but its PFF and people love to believe their stories....regardless of reality. Could end up a A., we'll see. Slater alone gives it a high grade but yes way early to be giving grades on drafts after 1 season.

Agreed, should be more reflective of sample size, hence based on those numbers alone, as rookies.
