Yeah I personally don’t want Slater. Question if LT is even his best spot in the pros.

This.

he had 1 fantastic game.  A few other good games.  Rest never stood out.

he like Dillard has the quick feet the underwear Olympic times, and shows the quickness on film.  Down side he is smaller,  not as dominant overall as the other Sewell or even Darrisaw.

 

and back to the size thing.  I don’t lean on the analytics, size, etc As heavily as some but factor it in.  But Slater IS in the bottom 20% measurement wise of OTs coming out in the last several years.

Probably positional value. Unless it's a generational talent in a weak draft, an off ball LB just doesn't warrant a top 10 pick in today's NFL.

He’s most likely going to be the next Luke where ever he goes so ya he’s going to be a generational talent, unless off the field stuff gets him, I know there are rumors. Otherwise I agree.

If the over/under is Luke, I'm all in on under. It's hilarious to try to enshrine kids in the HOF before they ever don an NFL jersey.

One game vs the best defensive prospect in years.   And he man handled him.  Sign me up

The knock on him is lack of aggression and takes plays off and doesn't finish.   The tape on slater is he is a mauler and wants to kill you.  Same with Sewell 

Just like Herbert wasn’t a “leader” cause he was an “introvert”

darrisaws tape has him decleating  people with one arm

And then he looked avg in a few games vs guys who want be playing in the league. 
not taking the risk off of 1 game.

 

Kony Ealy had a Monster game on the biggest stage.  Doesn’t mean he is a top level DE

 

not saying I fully dislike the guy,  but  If it were me, No Way am I taking that risk at 8.

say we trade down and he’s there at 15, sure.  Top 10?  No Bueno

The actual film, the game tape.

the same tape that NFL scouts had him pegged as a rd 2 grade coming into this year Before he sat out.

Not the box score.

Parsons. Cinncy takes Sewell to set up this scenario.

I don’t foresee Fitt and Rhule taking a defensive player in the first round after spending all picks on defense in 2020. Secondly, like others have mentioned, Parsons stock is going down. From a positional value standpoint and the fact that we now have Shaq, Perryman, and Riddick, he doesn’t really fit.

Generational gets thrown around here like World Class does in football.

It loses meaning when there's multiple generational talents in every Draft (or about 50 World Class players walking around).

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
