I think he is going to be a big favorite, if not by mid-season, surely by the end of the season. In a couple of years when he is leading the team in tackles and is running the defense, people here will be claiming that they always knew he would turn out so well.

Damn veach to hell what was he thinking drafting this guy? He better pull his head out of his ass and get this draft business figured out. Bolton is going to make someone feel pretty foolish by yrs end

Watched every Mizzou game & this dude was the most dominant player on the field. I fully expected him to go in the top half of the first round.

I can't wait to see Bolton destroying running backs. We have sucked against the run, he should help a lot.

DJ wasn't the best linebacker, but he really had a knack for hitting a gap and taking out a ball carriers legs. He could never really cover anyone out of the backfield or a TE, but he was just a tackling machine.

I feel like Bolton is going to fill the vacancy that's been there since DJ left. I have read some articles talking about how smart he is, and that he can pick up a defensive scheme quickly, and I hope that's the case, and he can help Gay understand what's going on too.

I wasn't born until 1971, but I have watched a lot of old games, and we have never really had a dominant linebacking duo since Willie Lanier and Bobby Bell. While Bolton and Gay will obviously never be on that level, I am hoping that they can develop together under Spags and be considered very good players together.

The Devin Bush comparison is an interesting and apt one... if you say he's Devin Bush minus the elite-elite athleticism (so about 80-85 percent of Devin Bush).

He's a smart LB who will QB the defense, defend the run well, handle short area pass defense adequately against most targets, and in general be an above-average contributor.

In all, that's a pretty good player and a solid get in the second round.

Just heard a very interesting comparison: Lavonte David

I can definitely see that comparison too. Similar size, athleticism and play style. Ironically David was drafted in the 2nd rd at pick 58 like Bolton.

If this kid is anything close to David it’s a great pick

Sorenson and Neimann as our backers was a disaster, no matter the down
