2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

Imagine if we had both Bosa's! What a pass rush that would give us.

We can call them, ahem, "Bookend Bosas!"

They would even make Tillery look good somehow. They have been saying they want to play on the same team.

It was just divulged that Trevor Penning will be training with Duke Manyweather pre draft. Think in terms of how fundamentally sound Rashawn Slater is. And, again, apparently no one with experienced judgement is scared off by level of competition.

Consensus round one grade.

He's a giant! Will he slip down into the 20's though?

This on Penning from TDN:

Pros: Penning offers outstanding size and length for the position while also boasting above average overall athleticism. He is quick out of his stance and looks to engage contact in both the run game and in pass protection. In the pass game, he lets his athleticism and length do the work. He is very light on his feet and gets excellent depth with his sets. Quick feet to change direction and handle counter moves and has the quickness to cut off and win angles. Above average range in his set and defenders have a tough time beating him around the edge with speed. Penning has an above average anchor in pass pro and uses his length to stym defenders' rush and keep his body clear.  In the run game, he plays with urgency and toughness. May not have the most explosive power in his game, but he works his butt off to create movement at the point of attack with positioning and angles and will always look to finish.. His quickness is an asset in this phase of the game as he beats defenders to the spot and can simply wall off and shield. Excellent on timing on combo blocks and works very well to the second level of the field.Â

Cons: Penning has a lot of physical tools that you love, it's just a matter of him figuring out the technical parts to his game. Still new to the position, Penning needs to work on his hand placement and timing. Too often he’ll fire his hands outside resulting in him bear hugging his opponent for a holding call. Additionally, as a taller player, leverage is a thing he’ll need to work on as he comes off the ball with a high pad level allowing defenders to win lower and uproot him with power. Penning will also need to be consistent with bending with his knees rather than his waist, as he loses power and will often lean on defenders rather than forcibly drive them.Â

If the Chargers do get that comp pick in the 4th round - that would give the team the chance to possibly use a 3rd round pick on Araiza. He is a weapon in the kicking game. His FGs are not as accurate - but punting, what a weapon. He might not be Ray Guy or Sebastian Janikowski in R1 but he has some skills that kid.

Agree, ive seen him miss a couple so i dont know if he will be a kicker as well but he has that potentual and a strong leg. Id still like to draft him.

Long stinks.

I’d trade Joey straight up for Nick but SF would never go for that

He may not be accurate enough for NFL, not sure. He had 2 games where the normal holder was out and a new guy kept holding the ball with laces right where his foot contacts - he only hit 50% in those games. He’s about a 70%-er which isnt NFL accuracy level. But he might improve with NFL coaching, and he can belt them from outside 55 yards already

I think he’s starting punter and backup PK. He will consistently put KO’s 7+ yards deep in the EZ too for TBs.

Agree with all of this. I am not sure which team will have the guts to draft him in the 3rd round - but his punting would be a field position changer; same with his kickoffs. Plus, he would be a teams long distance FG kicker.
