Thread: The Safest Pick in the 2018 NFL Draft

For a rookie only this board is down Bolles as long term answer at LT. Best tackle by far out of the draft class. And lined up next to the worst starting guard in the league.

Best tackle by far in his class?

As far as LT, I think that he rated that way. Ramcyzk was my guy and he was a great player this year, but at RT in New Orleans.

Cam Robinson was better at LT, I love Bolles but Elway ****** that one up. His “no Bama players” policy is stupid.

I have consulted the PFF gods.

They are in disagreement with you.

PFF is a joke.

I think it's pretty accurate - and it beats out the completely subjective eye test where people can just see what they want.

Seems like when I watch Bolles all I see is yellow.

Oh he gets a lot of holding calls. But a lot of rookies do.

It was a little ridiculous with him though.

I'm just not a fan. I pay a lot of attention to OL and I know I only watched roughly half of the Broncos games this season but what I saw of Bolles did not impress me in the slightest. I hope we get a legit LT and move Bolles to RT.

Bolles has the same kind of upside Clasy did. Clady had good coaching

Completely disagree. Clady was 10xs the LT Bolles will ever be. Clady didn't give up a sack as a Rookie, Bolles was awful. Huge difference.

I don’t think you understood what I was saying my friend. I completely agree that Clady’s rookie season was far superior to Bolles.
I’m suggesting their individual upsides were very similar coming out of college. They were both considered high risk/high reward players. However I believe Clady had far superior coaching. Clady’s college coach was really good and I believe he had Alex Gibbs his rookie year.

I don't know that I can agree with that. Jake Long was rated better on a few boards, but clady prior to the injuries had some of the best feet I've ever seen on a tackle. Garrett does a whole bunch of lunging and grabbing. I don't think he's the athlete that clady was. He definitely though as a nasty to him. And if we could get a legit tackle like mcglinchey then I would have no problem moving bolz to the right side.

I would’ve never guessed, just going by what I’ve read/heard elsewhere. I stand by the Elway/Bama dynamic being stupid though.
