Yep...you don't have to run a 4.4 when you can easily diagnose the play and see where the hole is. That's NBs stock-in-trade.

What the **** is Zaven going to play? MLB? He’s 270 lbs now and they just took Simmons high last year.

Several of us had heard of Speaks. He was a consensus 2nd-team All-SEC player his senior season and was actually pretty productive while playing both DT and DE.

Collins at 17 or Bolton at 58.

ROFL

It isn’t even a discussion. The Cardinals have lost their minds

If you’re looking for an off ball linebacker I wouldn’t take Collins

I think he can play that hybrid de lb like they did with Reddick so that makes some sense

As for his speed... I don’t recall that ever being a real issue in college, and he was used in coverage a lot.

Like most MLB, if a speedy RB gets isolated on him on a wheel or streak, Bolton doesn’t have the speed to stay with him 50 yards downfield.

We should re-sign Justin Houston to do the covering 50 yards down the field.

(**** you, Bob Sutton)

I CHOOSE VIOLENCE.

If you listen to Kent and the other AP draft guys they were almost in tears about us getting Bolton (and Creed) lol it's just pathetic :D . According to them he's just a "two down back who does what Hitchens does"...smh and these guys do draft guides for Chiefs fans??? Yes Nick is not an all world guy in coverage yet but he certainly has shown the talent to cover his man and get ints so I don't know what they are talking about. Infact Zerline from nfl draft rated Bolton higher than he did Darius Leonard and says he's a three down back so we'll see who is right in the end.

They’re kinda right though. Bolton does most things well. He isn’t great at anything physically and when you see him on tape. He’s a high floor, low ceiling player.

I guess you could say he’s very smart and that’s fine, but so is Hitchens and he’s kinda just there.

I think Gay has way more potential

He’s absolutely great at playing downhill and knocking people the **** out.

To just shrug off the mental aspect is reeruned. The coaches have always spoken about Hitchens intelligence and ability to be a coach on the field since day 1. It’s extremely valuable for them, and it’s obvious why.

Bolton also has much more upside than Hitchens. He plays a lot faster/quicker, and he’s already probably better in coverage. His ball skills are also significantly better, so I’d expect him to make more plays in coverage than Hitchens ever has.

Would you rather pay Hitchens type of money again or get a much cheaper option with more upside on a rookie deal? It’s a position that had to be addressed this year or next, so I really don’t understand what the issue is at all.

Those clowns do not know jack about football. Why anyone would care about their opinion us beyond me. He's absolutely a 3 down backer.

They aren't right...at all. It's like they either haven't seen him play or most likely gave no ****ing clue what they are looking at. We got our Darius Leonard type .

They said the same thing about Mathieu.

Sometimes guys are just really good at football.

Bolton isn't a workout warrior, which is why he was available when we picked.
