2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Boltjolt]

However unlikely lol
First one, trade down with Cardinals in first round.

Rankings are a little whack.
This Simulator is missing RB Javonte Williams or I'd have taken him in one of these. Rhamondre Stevenson is rated a 7th rounder in this one and rarely shows up to pick him.

Its a little different and you will know what I mean if you use this Sim from first-pick.com.

This one, trade down in second round with Indy

Again, however unlikely it may be

Glad to see you are having fun.
It leads to broader understanding of these prospects and evolving big boards.

Please do a draft that you sense is realistic, with your best personal draft strategy and post that.

Senior Bowl game in ten days.
Senior Bowl practices/workout sessions next week.
Where the big boards really change...

I wouldn’t sink big money into Mike Williams. He’s shown flashes, but I’ve never felt like he was that consistent and then there are the health concerns. But when he is healthy, he can disappear. I’d rather spend the money on the O-line. Herbert has shown he can work with any halfway decent WR. If I thought Williams was elite or even really good, I’d vote to pay him. But I don’t see it.

He never gets open even when healthy. Every catch he makes us some acrobatic one and it’s risky for QBs to throw it to him because there’s a higher chance of getting it picked off. He gets zero separation unless it’s a broken play by the defense.

I don’t mind him but only at the right price tag. Crazy to think he was drafted over Patrick Mahomes.

And CMC.
And Deshaun Watson.
And Marshon Lattimore (the guy I wanted).

At the time, thought the pick should have been Malik Hooper for safety. Can always hindsight it but I know WR at the time was not the teams priority. Even CMC right after him made a heckuva lot of sense.

As for this years pick - so many ways to go . I just hope Telesco doesn't trade up - that is not his forte

Actually, the previous season before we drafted Mike Will, we were decimated by injuries to our WR corps...so wideout was kind of a priority...one of many...

Missing on Lattimore was big. We would have had our shutdown corner for years to come. I think PR was really missing that tall M80 type receiver that forced the pick. Oh well, hindsight is always 20:20.

I’m happy with not drafting Mahomes since it led us to drafting JH, a long time charger fan.

Yep, i wasnt surprised by that pick. I mentioned many times i could see it go that way. And Hooker was a forum fav but he has been hurt a ton since he was drafted so today we would likely be saying he needs to go lol.

I remember really wanting Jamal Adams that draft, but the Jets snagged him the pick before us. I'm glad we missed out on that dude though. After that I can't remember who I wanted, but I know it wasn't Mike Williams.

Some of the other names mentioned for us at #7 in that 2017 draft were McCaffrey, Lattimore, Hooker, Ross and Peppers. Mahomes and Watson were longshots, because it was felt Rivers still had a some more years left in the tank.

The one player I’d love to see us trade up for would be Sewell. If he slips a little (which I doubt), I’d be excited to see us move up and grab him. Beyond that, I don’t see a player that fits a position of need being worth the move up.
