*****The Nick Bolton Thread*****

More to come!







Quote:
Bolton played in all 13 games as a true freshman (22 tackles, one sack) after earning Dallas Morning News first-team all-state honors at Lone Star High School (130 tackles, 16 for loss, five interceptions). He went from promising youngster to SEC star in 2019, earning first-team all-conference honors after leading the league with 8.9 tackles per game (107 total, 7.5 for loss), intercepting two passes and breaking up eight others in 12 starts. He was named second-team Associated Press All-American, first-team All-SEC and a Butkus Award finalist in 2020, leading his defense with 95 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss (including two sacks), while breaking up five passes in 10 starts. Bolton's father, Carlos, played football at Louisiana Tech. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview
When you think about strong, forceful inside linebackers, Bolton is the type of player you might be envisioning. He's going to fall below typical NFL starter standards from a size standpoint, but his rugged frame and forceful demeanor help make up for it. Play recognition and pursuit instincts help carry him to the football and he's a message-sending striker when he gets the runner squared up. He has functional short-area burst between the tackles but will struggle to run down the outside run if he's not close enough to the action. He will need to lean heavier on his instincts to help speed him up because of size and speed limitations. Bolton plays with good field recognition when dropping into zone and has a history of making plays on the football in coverage. He's a three-down linebacker who can make an immediate contribution on special teams and has the potential to become a future starter.
Strengths
  • Very tough with a physical edge.
  • Plays with demeanor teams look for in the middle.
  • Field-savvy with instincts to diagnose misdirection.
  • Identifies and communicates.
  • Heavy hands with good pop to take on blocks.
  • Pursues ball-carrier with patience and leverage.
  • Fluid alterations to his pursuit angles.
  • Excellent feel for attack timing downhill.
  • Meets runners with violent collisions in the hole.
  • Strikes like he's trying to send a message.
  • Great awareness and ballhawking as spot dropper.
  • Has enough man-cover talent to play on all three downs.
  • Thrived on kick- and punt-cover teams early in his career.
Weaknesses
  • Average lateral quickness traps him behind climbing blocks.
  • Inconsistent to strike and separate from blockers.
  • Needs to improve angles to elude box traffic.
  • Might need to take a few more chances as a pro.
  • Top-end speed appears below average.
  • Loses ground when pursuit flows wide.
  • Below-average lateral agility as open-field tackler.
  • Will have to play quicker to deal with NFL slashers.

Brett and Andy looked pretty pumped to get this slow-ass, two-bit role player-LOL

They really should have checked with the "experts" in this thread before making this pick.

All-pro, all schmo.

Nobody expects him to come in here and be Ray Lewis. All he really has to be is Anthony Hitchens and if he ends up being an improvement, even better.

The Chiefs just saved $8M against the 2022 cap. That alone is worth it. Anything they get beyond that is gravy.

I for one can't wait for the first time he stuffs Javonte Williams for a loss. Talk about wasted 2nd round picks...

Nah he's actually stupid. Like the anti-MENSA.

My biggest worry when Veach drafted him was him ever actually being able to play at a decent level because he wouldn't be able to pick up the defensive alignments and play situational football. Set him loose to attack and the athleticism comes out... but boy don't let him think about shit. I'm still worried about it.

You strike me as a guy who would have drafted a Vernon Gholston.

We needed a MLB, who do you suggest KC should have drafted to address that need?

Serious projection there, hombre.

Consensus late first round/early second round ranking by every-****ing-body, highest ranked LB in the SEC, but he's a 'role player'.

Sure thing, man.

Somebody's got delusions alright. It ain't me.

Jamin Davis but he was a 1st round pick, and you strike me as someone on the Bobby Sippio hype train.

yeah, because that's totally a parallel situation.

UDFA vs. a consensus late first rounder.

Whatever.

You really believe Bolton is the second coming of Mike Singletary considering how snide your rebuttal is

I love this time of year. So full of promise. We just drafted Sam Mills, Mike Webster, Charles Haley, Dez Bryant, Travis Kelce, and Larry Allen.

Right, because Sippio was projected to be a 1st rounder.

Also who would you have picked to address the MLB position for those who were actually available?
