You think Bolton is more athletic than Chenal?
What games do you watch?
I am going to say something very unpopular (maybe): Nick Bolton needs everyone else to win to make an impact on a play or a game.
I don't know how many people consistently watch the All-22, but Bolton is not a play maker that flies around making plays. He collects tackles like crazy but it's rarely because he made a play himself, but almost always, when he makes a play, it's because someone else won a one-on-one battle, or the defensive line wrecked the offense, etc.
He cannot cover a TE, even a little. He is a very good player, but I hope we don't give him a huge contract. He is probably going to be one of those guys that leaves for more money, and in two or three years whatever team he goes to will try to trade him (back to the Chiefs maybe) or cut him because of his salary.
