Being that good in college, especially for LB's, doesn't always mean success in the NFL. Bolton doesn't really have elite athleticism and there was a concern his game wouldn't translate. Not saying I agreed with it but that was the thought process going into that draft.

You don't go strictly by measurables - you'd pass on Bolton if you did. And you don't go strictly off production - you'd pass on Gay. Don't focus entirely on ceiling or floor either. You need to be cognizant of both. Sometimes you try to find combinations of those traits. Sometimes you try to find guys who stand out in one area or another. Mix it all throughout your draft. Take some high floor, low ceiling guys and vice versa. Take some guys who explode on tape and a few who show out on the stopwatch. But you don't get tunnel vision. Don't get married to a set approach. There's a little luck involved here and the wider you cast your net, the more likely you are to catch what you're fishing for.

It's nice to finally have a BAMF at LB.

Again, I'm not saying I completely agreed with those takes but there were legitimate concerns that he simply wasn't athletic enough to be a premiere NFL LB. |

He was the perfect LB prospect. KU fans couldn't stop jacking off over some dumb **** rivalry to realize he was special.
That's it. That was the entire thing. |

Completely unfounded. I'm sure there are a few idiot KU fans out there who can't seem to differentiate between college and pro sports, but I certainly wasn't one of them and would argue that most liked what they saw from Bolton regardless of who he played college ball for.
