Well, I do love the attitude and I’ve always enjoyed hard hits. I hope when we look back he warrants the pick, even though my socks weren’t knocked off initially.

His straight line speed is adequate. You want your backers to have 4.6 or lower speed. He’s good there.
It’s the 3 cone and 20 yard shuttle that are worrisome. Does he have stiff hips? Because Ragland, Hitchens and Wilson all had better times. And yes we say that doesn’t matter until we bitch about these missing tackles in the flat like Hitchens vs the Patriots a few years ago (dear God) bc of stiff hips. I still trust this pick but it’s okay to have questions. |

Oh and this guy ****ing better put Neimann’s ass on the bench. We drafted 2 LB’s in the 2nd rd and paid Hitchens.
Zero reason that disaster should be out there unless it’s ST’s |

I don't see how he tested 'slow'. It looks like he's moving at an entirely different speed than everyone around him, and a lot of that tape is against top flight talent. Now maybe that's just superior football diagnosis on his part that allows him to 'play fast', but damn. I see no reason why we see Niemann on anything but special teams other than injury. |

Positives. Eventual cheap Hitchens replacement.
Negatives. Instincts. |

[QUOTE=In58men;15656706]Do people not understand that you can train yourself to run faster?[/QUO. Some players play faster with pads than others, I think that could be part of it.

The best thing for him is to attack and Spags system depends less on reading than some others. But he is not ideal for instincts as a mike in the NFL. He's not Devin Bush. |

Agree, CM. Every player analysis I've seen list "instincts" as a definite plus for Bolton. Heck, I'm a KU guy, and even I like the pick!
