I am with you.  Most scouting reports see him more as a guard as they see him as a LT.  Do you want a good LT or a Great Guard or Center.  

 

Neither at 8. Trade back then sure. I want an potentially elite high valued position at 8.  Especially if 5 QBs go ahead of us.

Apologies to those who don’t like to click links...too much to  copy and paste

1  Slater

2. all tackles, as panthers may be trading back

Valid criticisms; thankfully most of his issues are coachable. His biggest weakness seems to be dealing with speed rushers, and I have to believe that going against our speed rushers during practice every day will give him better opportunities to improve that aspect than he would have on other teams.

I wouldn't pick him at 8 but maybe at 15-20

Those are some good reads from the Riot. While I still prefer Slater, he's also among the smallest tackles in the bunch. That gives me a bit of pause when I think there are some 6'6" or 6'7" maulers in that list.

Still a smaller (it's all relative) guy who has the skills and strength is better than a bigger guy that's just a goon.

It's Richie Grant in the 2nd. 

I think it’s pretty likely, I feel like the senior bowl standouts are almost like the “2nd visit” category from the Gettleman years.

i think the best part is after they fell in love with chinn i completely have faith in them if he's just their guy.

chinn is already one of my favorite panthers ever.

When did 6'4" 303 stop being a good size for LT? And how the hell does that translate into being better off at guard? This offseason is just insane. Dude put up 33 reps? With excellent speed? If he isn't an idiot then he looks like a better LT then we have sniffed in the last 5 years.

He is the exact same size as Jordan gross and stronger.  Sign me up

From what I understand, there is an arm length preferred for tackles an that helps with outside leverage and such 

at this point, the nfl has stats for best expectation of every position and every system as a guide

Still playing around with what a major trade down would look like. Used PFN sim, traded for the Ravens 1st rounders and a future, 2nd rounder used 2nd and future 2nd to trade with jags.

I don’t like but don’t hate but I’m in fact I’m love with the way penai Sewell plays that player is amazing hopefully he drops to 8 my anxiety is going to be crazy so I will be pounding beer all night I’m so excited legit can’t wait babe 

[Varking]

These links say Slater is a late second round grade and Sewell is a third round grade. 

[SmartyHurney4]

I expect Slater to be a real target if the Panthers trade back. Though maybe not with all the smoke of us being linked with CB prospects.

I just wish there was a combine this year.
