2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[Formula 21]

think one of the best available DTs in FA is already on our roster.... Linval Joseph.

and do think we can get a NT via the draft.... Robert Cooper.

also gonna presume that there is depth to be had @DT as well.

far as a stud ED, not as excited 'bout these guys as the some of you are.... do like Brenton Cox some, and like Tupuola quite a bit, and.... dude is an injury concern.

personally don't think run defense is job/priority one that Popper makes it out to be, as speaking for myself, job one is to maximize Herbert's effectiveness, which starts w/the Oline.... finish the job.

hedge your bets against Linsley, take care of the RT position, and if that means moving Feiler over there, then make sure you nab someone real good in the draft, draft for depth as well, and if you can upgrade Schofield or one of the other vets in FA.... then do it.

for the front seven, we need a rotational NT to pair w/Joseph, need someone opposite the rotation of JJ 'n Jerry, and perhaps someone to spell Nwosu if he ends up somewhere else in FA ??

@LB, we need to decide if Murray is a fit w/Staley's scheme, and if not we need to both draft and look into FA there.

we also need to upgrade our DBs.... a vet corner and some talent @S.

as always, if someone falls to us in the draft.... then no brainer, nab the man.... otherwise, we simply need to continue to find talent as we can in FA, and not bust in the draft.

ps. back 2 Herbert.... we need to make sure he has the horses in the backfield @RB, and in our pass catching corps, 'specially if we lose any of the likes of MW, Guyton, or Cook, or if some of our fledgling talent turns out is not for long @RB or elsewhere ??

Too many holes, too few picks.

well, we've got ourselves 11 or so picks, and prolly @least that many and more FAs to be had....

Yes but too bad those extras are 6ths and 7ths. I guess its better than nothing.

TEAMS PROJECTED TO RECEIVE 4 PICKS


Los Angeles Chargers

Projected compensatory picks: One in Rounds 5 and 7; two in Round 6.

Key free-agent losses: Dan Feeney (Jets), Hunter Henry (Patriots), Rayshawn Jenkins(Jaguars), Denzel Perryman (Panthers), Sam Tevi (Colts), Tyrod Taylor (Texans).

Key free-agent additions: Corey Linsley, Matt Feiler.




Comp-pick analysis: With the Chargers losing six qualifying free agents and signing just two, they will bring in four compensatory picks, but the loss of Taylor is (as of now) undefined in terms of pick value. Currently, it should bring back a sixth-rounder, but with playing time bonuses adding to his contract value, that pick should become a fifth-rounder if he can get 80 percent of the starting snaps in Houston.

[Boltjolt]

Ah, we got a 5th. I thought it was 2 -6th and 2-7ths

I read 6th & a 7th in 2024. That's a weird move for the Rams. Trade a starter, going with UDFA Reeder.

OT.....Bolts should take a look at SDSU K Matt Araiza with a late draft pick or FA.......he is a big leg punter, TBD on kickoffs, pretty accurate big leg kicker too. Punter and FG kicker in one.

Pretty good recent top 100 and position break down. Very high praise for Ekwonu as an OT prospect instead of IOL.

He has played like a beast. Improved season over season even while moving to OLT seamlessly.
I love this Oline class. If we keep all of our 11 picks, we should snag 3.
