2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

My 1st Round WR crush is Jameson Williams. He'll be the best WR in this draft, IMO. But I value RT, DT, CB, EDGE, OG higher.

He will be a top five pick. It would cost a lot to trade up that high. You're right though, he really is great.

I like Jameson too but i like Burks just as much. Just not on a WR in the first round right now but if we do, those two work for me. Probably need to trade up for both though.

I'm not as fan of taking a WR in round one right now either, but if they could make some nice hits in the FA period I may change my mind. My imagination tells me a big armed QB like Herbert and a speedy WR like Jameson could really give us some thrills in the future. I like Burks too but he's not a real speedster - I see him as a bigger, stronger type WR with soft hands.

Exactly. Free agency will be more telling going into the draft. I still think they try and bring back MW but we'll see. We dont need a 4.3 guy at WR. Tyreek Hill is fast but its his YAC that sets him apart. He has a returners mentality after the catch along with that speed.

Burks looks to be faster than MW to go with those big mits. IDK i hope TT knocks FA'cy out of the park and gets the right key players so the draft can be more open. Having extra picks is great but im not expecting 6th and 7th rounders to help much as rookies and isn't really a way of getting that immediate help.

I agree with everything you said.

[La Costa Boy]

I dunno at WR. I think a little Wan'dale type speed on the outside might make defenses go hmmmmmmm.......

Flash some 4.3 out there

I have yet to see Jameson Williams projected in the top-5, but it could easily happen. Pro days and combine will hash out the WR1 in this draft. At this point I believe Jameson and Burks are neck and neck. Each of them offers different things. Might come down to who the QB of the drafting team is.

A weaker arm QB might benefit more from Burks whereas a guy like Herbert might need a pure burner.

I want day 1 starters, not sure If I have patience for anymore developmental type players like Tillery or Murray.

Now that you read my post, so you have seen him projected as top five.

[Leslie Grossman]

Kevin Harris ran through the Tar Heels like prime George Rogers.

I stand corrected!!

Personally, my WR ranking go something like this:
1A: Jameson Williams
1B: Treylon Burks
2A: Jahan Dotson
2B: Drake London
3. Garrett Wilson
4. Chris Olave
5. David Bell

it has always caught my attention w/how peoples claim Lombardi orchestrates some version of the Saints/Payton scheme, but then the question looms.... do we draft like them ??

where we drafted Jerry, they drafted OC Erik McCoy, and where we drafted Kenneth Murray, they drafted OC Cesar Ruiz.

my current draft strategy is to look Edge Defender round one, and then hope that Zion Johnson is still on the board round two, and if not, then hopefully Daniel Faalele is still there.

a safer bet might be to nab Zion round one and then look for Faalele round two.... what would New Orleans do ??
