No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's So and So to Green Bay) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
Don't be a dick.
Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.
Niemann played 466 snaps last year. Wilson played 526. Hitchens 601.
Gay played 267.
Bolton will eventually replace Hitchens but it won't be in 2021.
I don't think he's replacing Hitchens. I think he's going to be replacing Niemann, because Niemann is not physical enough, is slow as shit, and can't tackle very well. [Reply]

Bolton makes a ton of sense because they can shed Hitchens' contract after this year.
Hitchens has $20M of dead cap now that will drop to $8M next year with a cap savings of almost $11M.
