I wonder if Veach can get anything for Allegretti and Wylie? I mean he did turn Parker Ehinger into Ward.

It has to be. They can save a ton of cap room by going with Bolton.
Quite frankly, if that's the plan, it's a very good one. Everybody knows I'm not high on drafting LB's high but it's still all about value. We got a guy that had value in the 30-35th pick range at 58. That's a tremendous get, regardless of position. And no I don't think Bolton is a jump-off-the-page athlete. But the simple fact is that the kid is a very good all-around LB. He doesn't have a ton of weakness, he's not one-dimensional. Freakish athleticism is all well and good on the outside but in many ways, you want your MLB to quick, smart, and fearless. I think that's what Bolton brings. |

That's just the thing. Positional value doesn't just flat out trump player value.
We got a guy at 58 that probably should have gone about 25 picks higher. That's a tremendous amount of value, much more than you gave up taking a LB over say, a DE. In the end, Bolton was a high value pick and he'll be even more so once Hitchens and his salary are gone. |

If he brings that to the pro level, it will serve him well as a run stopper, as well as sweeps, screens and quick slants. |
