Nah man you said multiple scouts had him as a day 2 pick.  Normally how this works is when you proclaim something like that you have to show your work.  Show me where multiple scouts had him round 2 preseason.

Here are 5 Way Too Early 2021 Mock Drafts from 2020 and none of them have Slater in the 1st round.

Mayfield broke the record for most TD passes thrown by a rookie. He had a down 2019 with Kitchens, but this narrative doesn't fit.

it wasn’t an uncommon thought to assume the Browns were ready to move on from him even during the beginning of 2020. He also had waaay better weapons than Darnold. They fixed his line and got him a smart coach and he led them right to the playoffs. I know I’m a Fields guy, but this is a strong argument for us to draft a LT at 8...

Normally I’d agree with you 99.99% of the time but I think Parsons is that special case. 

Honestly, I'm not 100% sold that Zaven Collins shouldn't be considered the best LB prospect in this class. Dude gives me Urlacher vibes.

I came very close to calling him one of the generational talents of this draft  (non QB)--along with Sewell, Chase, and Pitts.

They do a mock every morning and I find then entertaining usually. This one they have us trading down with NE to 15 and taking BPA Jaylen Waddle. I don't hate it at all, esp if we somehow get NE to trade us their second and third to move up. Fun to think about.

Just my thoughts. I think Sewell would be a slam dunk at 8. If Slater and Waddle are on the board at 8 a decision will have to be made.

There is just no chance we pass on slater for a slot wide receiver IMO.  That’s just insanity.

Who helps you win more games? Garrett Bolles or Tyreek Hill? 
 

Doesn’t seem so insane when you think about it like that.

Full disclosure, I’m hoping for the LT also, because I think finding WRs later is easier, but I understand the argument for Waddle.

If I had to rank who the Panthers pick at 8 (Assuming Pitts and Chase are gone)

1. Sewell (if he is there)

2. Slater

3. Waddle

4. Surtain

5. Horn

How did mahoomes and hill do in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer.  How did cam play in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer
