Most of his penalties were the start of the year....hus first year in division I college football. He settled down as the year went on.

Imagine a LT who gets penalties for whipping someone's ass and who can block. Then imagine Okung...existing.

Malik Jackson took stupid penalties. He also set the tone and the defense was noticeably less nasty without him last year. I wouldn't mind that kind of nasty and attitude on the oline....as long as it is controlled. Our offense has had no identity for years.

I saw in bolles what i wanted from a top OT prospect. Pancaking lesser players. Blowing up defenders. I did not see this from other tackles. Reason this guy was a fast riser for only 1 year in D1 ball.

Let's trade up in the second and take Cam Robinson, too.

Much rather have lamp

I love his attitude. Seems like a guy who's been through a lot and turned his life around. I don't know if he's going to be great, but I think he'll be at least good, which is more than I can say for most of our o-line. The nastiness will help bring some swagger to everyone around him.

That and a few late hit penalties because he is a badass mother******...

I coyld nit find it but did he ever get a penality for unnecessary roughness or anything like that? Or keep temperment in check?

Interestingly, Jeff Legwold says that as of about a week ago Ramczyk was the highest-rated tackle on their board. "They wanted to take someone they knew for sure would be ready for training camp." Bolles is healthier and more athletic, and Elway says Bolles also has the higher ceiling (which is probably true). I wouldn't want all my OL to have injury issues, and late in the draft process those injury concerns come to bear.

I'm good with it. Let Bolles try to be an under-control athletic monster and then refine him as we go.

Most of his early penalties were offsides. He got some "block in the back" stuff, and he will lay a dude out with a crackback block if he can get away with it, but having watched Denver's "dirty" OL that won titles, I'm not unhappy with a guy who purposefully wants to go right up to the line.

That would be awesome having two bookends at the tackle spots, however I'm looking for a tight end or RB in round 2.

**** it - let's be a younger and less expensive version of the Cowboys.

We haven't had luck with RB's in the second anyway (or really anyone in the second...) I'd rather we grab someone like lamp and continue bolstering our line. Screw it, like Kinger said...Let's be come the dollar store version of the Cowboys o-line and start some domination up in here!

I think we're only allowed to agree four times a year....this is getting dangerous!
