And yet they made it to the Super Bowl with him playing over 400 snaps. People are way too worried about something that’s largely meaningless.

They nearly did with ****ing Bob Sutton too but doesn't mean his ass shouldn't have been thrown out Jazz style.

Patience grasshopper. Niemann will be relegated to full backup status in due time. The Chiefs aren’t stupid - they have a plan. But they also had other, bigger needs.

Have I mentioned that the Chiefs have 5 new starting offensive linemen, 3 of which are on cheap rookie contracts? 😎

Nah I get you. I was all team WR at 58 initially.

Niemann getting snaps still or not, Bolton is a us addition.

Negatives. Instincts.

You didn't watch his tape. Instincts are spectacular.
Sometimes when you get it wrong you're in a really bad spot, but look how often he'll get the opposition in second and long, third and long....

He's a gun.

Will take time to see if he lives up to press. Hope he is and no another Mizzou home boy who is like third string

Sir Nick the Flayer, of House Bolton.

Poor guy fell off the first page

I’m not over the moon about this pick but I see the value in it.

Bolton is a smart, hard-working, driven, instinctual guy. He didn’t have a lot of protection in college (spent his entire career with the DT in front of him getting worked by opposing OL in conference play) but still was highly productive.

He called at least 3 different defenses in college, too. Should get installs quickly.

And more importantly, it should let them comfortably move on from Hitchens. Less help in 21 than someone like Cox, but probably more long-term value.

Poor receiver just got dragged down, like the two Vols players that got knocked out of the game. Who knew a good dragging could be so violent?

I’m not hating. But this was very “meh” to me. Like I wasn’t excited.

Hope I’m wrong obviously bc he apparently is smart as hell and can replace Hitch. Just my 2 cents

I think very few here had even heard of Speaks, not just because he was from Ol' Miss, but because he wasn't very distinguished. Bolton was the SEC leading tackler in 2019 and 2-Time All-SEC with a mediocre D-line. Very different body of work coming in.

RealSNR 05-02-2021 09:12 AM

Also many people had Breeland Speaks graded into the 4th or even 5th round. Veach thought he was a 2nd rounder.

I don't think there's anybody out there who said, "Nick Bolton... wait until around the 5th round if you want this guy..."

Kiimo 05-02-2021 09:13 AM

I have my issues but lol at him being anything like Speaks.

ChiefsCountry 05-02-2021 09:15 AM

Bolton was projected as a 1st round pick after the 2019 season coming into the 2020 season. No way is he like Speaks. Damn some of you are ****ing reeruned.

Kiimo 05-02-2021 09:20 AM

I had hopes of JOK or Zaven falling to us.


Laughable now in retrospect. Clearly Arizona saw what I saw in Zaven, just an absolute monster. Yet another LB that's going to put up insane numbers in Glendale.


That said, Bolton could be great. He may be small and his 3 cone might not wow anybody but he's got a lion's heart kind of like Mathieu. Man I was wrong about Honey Badger, I still don't know how he does it.
