2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[equivocation]

Last year the story was Rashawn Slater was a guard and Christian Darrisaw stunk. Both stories were wrong.

I was high on Darrisaw. Penning and Raimann are both very different prospects. Much more raw.

Last trench guy with promise we drafted in the first round was Tillery. How’s that working out, he learn any new tricks yet? Or is he just like college? Slater is, but he didn’t have any holes in his college game. Different.

[Formula 21]

I’ll never understand the Tillery pick. Just a flyer to try to get interior pass rush I guess.

At this time last year, I had made peace with the fact that the Chargers were going LT, and while I declared that Micah Parsons is the next Khalil Mack, Staley goes out in 2022 and gets Khalil Mack.

Beachcomber glad you remain high on EDGE Jermaine Johnson II, but how would that work in the rotation, is my only question. Is JJII rotating at left & right edge or does Chris Rumph have one of those backup positions locked down?

Jermaine Johnson II and James Williams remain my 1st Round favorites (in the Chargers #17)

Agreed. And neither have the physical upside of Darrisaw either. I think both these guys rank below Cosmi to me as prospects, but I was higher on Cosmi than most.

I liked the Tillery pick at the time. Also, if we’re going to use PFF, Tiller apparently did well in their eyes in college. Shows what they know lol.

Injuries seemed to have derailed Darrisaw’s rookie season. But he did well when he played.

Yeah, I’ve downgraded PFF since then.

this is from that PFF link:

"There may not be a more undervalued prospect in this draft than Notre Dame interior defender Jerry Tillery. As PFF’s second-ranked interior defender and seventh-overall prospect, Tillery is a pass-rush machine who consistently beats the man in front of him. His run defense is suspect, but his explosion off the line makes him worthy of a top-10 selection in this draft."

that is serious praise. what the hell went wrong?? ;-)

always hard to say with much authority, and yes.... like the prospects of JJ2, as think he's gonna be a contributor.

just not sure he's worth 17, as don't like his counter measure/spin move or the whatnot after his initial punch/plan fails.... dude looks like a whirling dervish at times.

and do like Jameson, but like Garrett Wilson even better, mostly due to his intangibles.... just get the sense that he could have some greatness to him ??

am good w/the any of the three coz I really like JJ's intangibles as well, and think he'd make a great Charger, and who wouldn't want to see what JH10 to JW might look like.... boom dia !!

right, and so.... what's the storyline for this year's draft ??

Penning this and WR (ain't all) that ??

edge one, CB two ??

Fluker redux, Troy Polamalu will never be forgotten.... ??

Tillery did better against the run than people think he did. Maybe if Staley used the DL rotation properly JT wouldn't be doing as bad.

Slater didn't have any holes in his game from college? No player doesn't have holes in their game. Slater had his coming into the pros.
