So he’s a player that plays an entirely different position with an entirely different skill set? Got it.

I totally forgot about that LMAO

So Bolton is a “role player”, but a backup RB wouldn’t have been.

In today's NFL I worry about LB'ers (off ball) who's knocks lateral quickness. It doesn't mean he can't be a good player, it's just not as likely he's an elite player.

Which is fine. No one should go into a draft expecting an elite player outside the top 4 or 5 picks.

If he's a good solid linebacker who gets a second contract here, thats a major success.

So what is he's a roleplayer, or future all pro?

People overrate draft picks. Outside the first what, 2 rounds, the hit percentage is super low.

It's likely Humphrey is a really good player (he's a great center prospect who fell because of position), Bolton ends up a fine player and one of the other draft picks hits and the rest wash out in a few years. Thats the way the league goes.

You do realize that there’s something in between, correct? Like a good/solid starting MLB?

If you wanna argue positional value etc, fine. Thats got some validity.

If he's just a solid MLB who struggles against the pass, it's not the best pick as those can be found later. But if you say positional value then argue to draft a RB in the first couple rounds, well thats not really what you're arguing.

Said solid as his ceiling, but his floor is a roleplayer

People get pissed that 2nd round picks have flaws.

If they didn't, they'd go in the top 10. If he was good against the pass, he's Devin Bush. See where he went last eyar.

I remember the same argument was made when Derrick Johnson posted a 7.20 3 cone and a 1.62 10 yard split. Too much is made of one day testing.

Willie Gay is stupid. I'll say it.

It's not that he's stupid he just has very little game experience.

Not challenging, just curious what that's based on.

Not earning a starting spot? Or did he look lost on the field?

Did any of you guys claiming Bolton is a liability against the pass...like...watch any of his tape?

No, no you didn't. Or you wouldn't be spouting that bullshit.

I can’t believe people are knocking this guy, chiefs stated they couldn’t believe he was still there when they picked. Watch the film he makes some mistakes it it’s nothing that coaching and playing time can’t take care of
