Build the defense!

Like haven't done my research, the dude is drag down tackler and is an average athlete.

:facepalm:

did someone say gay bolton?

Once he sees an opening he hits the gap very fast and closes.

Big 12 Offensive lineman of the year!

Love it! Center has been an issue.

HELL YES

Dude. Regardless of how much research you've done, giving a draft pick a grade is silly.

No joke, with the limited info and everybody wanting to go into bukake mode trying to aim it in the eye of Tom Brady we need to pump the brakes because with what known he seems like a roleplayer.

The bottom line is that Hitchens is set to cost almost $11M against the cap next year and his dead cap hit drops from $21M this year to just $8M next year.

Bolton has the time to learn the defense before he takes over as the full time MLB next year.

It was a necessary move for the future because we can't afford to pay Hitchens that much and Bolton will likely be an upgrade for a lot less money.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chiefs coach Andy Reid on Nick Bolton: &quot;What you’re going to get with him is an all-out, aggressive, smart player. Not the biggest guy but very, very tough. ... Tremendous leadership.&quot;</p>&mdash; Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dave_Matter/status/1388307250989649922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 1, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

When you have so many DE and WR possibilities sitting there, no, it's not thrilling.

That being said, Bolton was a fringe first round talent and he plays a position where will have a HUGE need next year. He has time to learn Spags' defense this year, kind of the same way Gay did and he's going to need it, because in September 2022, he's likely your defensive signal caller.

Dude can shoot the gap and hit that's for sure.

We haven't had a guy that can do that in a long time.

You're telling me they didn't get a guaranteed star with the 58th pick?

Certainly not Donnie Edwards speed but, his sideline to sideline movement reminds me of him. Donnie was undersized as well but pushed Simeon to the sidelines in 1997.
