Welcome Alohi Gilman S, Notre Dame

[Bolt-O]

Walter Football grade:

Los Angeles Chargers: Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame - B Grade
Alohi Gilman is an inconsistent tackler and cover player, but he has enough potential to be worth a sixth-round pick. This is a solid choice.

This pick serves five essential needs:

1. Telesco gets his Golden Domer

2. Sudden big vacuum on this team for someone who can only play special teams, but would be a huge liability on the field

3. Grist for the mill of Topcat, with the loss of his favorite launch whiffers.

4. Telesco needed his WTF moment in a draft.

5. Telesco continues his streak of perfection in the 6th round

Seems like ST fodder to me.

Hope he can improve and maybe play some safety, like Phillips did.

I see him as a special teams guy and an extra DB on defenses especially in the red zone. Also looks to be a crazy Blitzer so when he comes in on defenses the offense knows a blitz is a comin!

Ole' Alohi?
Lets hope he doesnt earn that nicname. I dont have any opinion of him so may not be fair to say but CBs, OTs and WRs and even Son of Randy still on the board.

I had a 6-7on him so I'll take it.

TT gets an early start on UDFAs.

I really don't get this pick -

1. We don't need a Safety
2. He's known to take poor angles
3. He whiffs a lot
4. Did mention we don't need a Safety?

We have 4 safeties: Derwin, Jenkins, Nassir, and Teamer. Bradley likes to run a lot of 3 safety sets so I wouldn't be surprised if he plays heavily. Not to mention as as 6th round pick, he'll probably be a ST. I suspect he'll replace Teamer.

Brugler had Gilman ranked #203 overall. Ahead of Lamar Jackson (corner), Quez Watkins (WR), Trey Adams (OT) to name a few:

203. Alohi Gilman, DS, Notre Dame (5-11, 201)
A passionate leader and competitor, Gilman displays above average read/react skills with the play anticipation that gives him a head start. However, he doesn’t show the same instincts once he turns his back to the ball – the deeper his responsibilities, the less effective he plays. Overall, Gilman lacks fluidity and feel to be a reliable man coverage player versus NFL receivers, but he sniffs out plays with his football IQ and toughness, projecting as a subpackage defensive back and special teamer.
