*****The Nick Bolton Thread*****
More to come!







Quote:
Bolton played in all 13 games as a true freshman (22 tackles, one sack) after earning Dallas Morning News first-team all-state honors at Lone Star High School (130 tackles, 16 for loss, five interceptions). He went from promising youngster to SEC star in 2019, earning first-team all-conference honors after leading the league with 8.9 tackles per game (107 total, 7.5 for loss), intercepting two passes and breaking up eight others in 12 starts. He was named second-team Associated Press All-American, first-team All-SEC and a Butkus Award finalist in 2020, leading his defense with 95 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss (including two sacks), while breaking up five passes in 10 starts. Bolton's father, Carlos, played football at Louisiana Tech. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview
When you think about strong, forceful inside linebackers, Bolton is the type of player you might be envisioning. He's going to fall below typical NFL starter standards from a size standpoint, but his rugged frame and forceful demeanor help make up for it. Play recognition and pursuit instincts help carry him to the football and he's a message-sending striker when he gets the runner squared up. He has functional short-area burst between the tackles but will struggle to run down the outside run if he's not close enough to the action. He will need to lean heavier on his instincts to help speed him up because of size and speed limitations. Bolton plays with good field recognition when dropping into zone and has a history of making plays on the football in coverage. He's a three-down linebacker who can make an immediate contribution on special teams and has the potential to become a future starter.
Strengths
  • Very tough with a physical edge.
  • Plays with demeanor teams look for in the middle.
  • Field-savvy with instincts to diagnose misdirection.
  • Identifies and communicates.
  • Heavy hands with good pop to take on blocks.
  • Pursues ball-carrier with patience and leverage.
  • Fluid alterations to his pursuit angles.
  • Excellent feel for attack timing downhill.
  • Meets runners with violent collisions in the hole.
  • Strikes like he's trying to send a message.
  • Great awareness and ballhawking as spot dropper.
  • Has enough man-cover talent to play on all three downs.
  • Thrived on kick- and punt-cover teams early in his career.
Weaknesses
  • Average lateral quickness traps him behind climbing blocks.
  • Inconsistent to strike and separate from blockers.
  • Needs to improve angles to elude box traffic.
  • Might need to take a few more chances as a pro.
  • Top-end speed appears below average.
  • Loses ground when pursuit flows wide.
  • Below-average lateral agility as open-field tackler.
  • Will have to play quicker to deal with NFL slashers.

all reports on the guy are that he's really, really smart, and really instinctive.

He's going to take Wilsons' snaps and a lot of Niemann's snaps, and probably is Hitchens eventual replacement.

I don't pretend to know who will work out. I didn't shit on Sneed and Danna but I did shit on Rashad Fenton and he turned out okay.


I hope this guy proves me wrong but he seems slow, small and a concussion waiting to happen and also I don't know how long it's going to take to get him playing.

I guess I just thought we had more pressing needs but Veach knows better than I do

He's small, and slow, and an arm tackler, and bad in coverage, but most scouts and mocks had him going late in the first round.

Got it.

“He was my 30th player. The Chiefs didn’t have a 1st round pick, but they still got what should’ve been a 1st round player”- Daniel Jeremiah.

I don’t think Bolton was too 30 personally, but he was definitely top 50.

yeah, man, I mean I saw him late first in most of the mocks all offseason long.

I wouldn't have been a fan at #31, because I felt we had bigger fish to fry.

But you just really can't argue with getting a consensus late first/early second player at a position of need at #58.

I mean that's real good value. And I think he's probably Hitchens' replacement in 2022 as well.

He's just rill good at football.
