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).

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
