2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[Bolt4Knob]

Just another thought, if we continue to go for it on fourth down, which I'm sure we will, we are going to need a better right side to the OL. So yes, OT in the first is a real possibility.

All things equal from a talent standpoint. Meaning if you have a player ranked 12 on your board (not QB, RB) - but even WR and they are there are 17 - I think you take talent. But if at all possible the pick at 17 should be CB, IDL or RT

Trading up has been the Kiss of Death for TT.

We have the QB and LT, if anything trade down. I can envision Jerruh trading up to 17 for Jameson Williams thinking the best trio of WRS in the NFL is the help Dak needs to make them a SB contender.

17 + 114 + 145 (1049 pts) for 24 + 56 (1070 pts)

24,48,56 would be a great opportunity to draft 3 starters and possible 4th at 79.

Isn't Oday Aboushi at LG and Trey Pipkens back at RT and running with the 1st unit and a second day choice at RT enough to address that?

This is my mock 20.0 as a visual for that same principle. The reason I am so particular, is 3 out of the first four picks must address the front seven, IMO,
it needs a major overhaul and a major transfusion of talent, for this team to take the next step.

Not as much as a 1st rounder would. The needs on this team are so great we could go for 4 different positions and it would be a solid pick.

Agree - if they could land a pro bowler at CB, DL or Edge that would be a major boost to the D. BPA at one of those positions would be a solid move.

just say no to the trade up

The only way to trade up is not giving up a lot in return for a few spots. Other than that there should be plenty of players we can pick from at #17. I think this draft is deep for players that we need so more picks in the first 3 rounds would be a plus for us.

I think the finish up building the Oline with the one of the first 2 picks. This is the year they start really building the D. Which I don’t think they will get all the pieces they need this year like they didn’t quite finish up the Oline last year. I believe they get a couple Dlinemen via free agency, in get another one in the draft. I truly believe, the 1st 2 picks will be Dline and Oline.

Agree

I think Free agency will be similar to last year - and by free agency, I mean after they bring back their own key free agents (Jones, White, Nwosu, MW plus others). But I can see free agency having a mix of one expensive and one or two lesser priced guys. And you just hope to hit like you did with Aboushi for just over the Vet Minimum

But the draft - first four rounds - I can see RT, IDL and CB - in whatever order. Possibly RB too.

Oline and edge.

If Charlie Cross is sitting there at #13, i'd be tempted. Baltimore picks next and Ronnie Stanley has missed the last two seasons.
