2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[like54ninjas]

Would he be happy playing LG and not LT? Probably but only if the Chargers make him the highest paid LG in the NFL in his second contract.

If he’s the best OLG in football as a multiple time All-Pro then he’ll deserve that big second contract.

What did Slater measure in height and arms? Im good with his reps lol.

EDIT...Nevermind, saw it.

Checking in at 6-foot-4 and 304 pounds, Slater displayed the kind of well-rounded skill set that explains why scouts believe he could play any position on the offensive line. In addition to tossing up a robust 33 bench reps, he clocked impressive times of 4.88 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 7.48 in the three-cone drill. Slater's arm length, which has been a hot topic of conversation among evaluators, came in at 33 inches. That's below-average for NFL offensive tackles, which will lead to more talk about Slater potentially moving inside.

33” arm length is on the short end, but is acceptable for a tackle. Same with 6’-4” height.

“I have Slater as the top tackle in this draft,” NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said on a Tuesday video conference. “His arms came in at 33 inches (long). It’s not great but it’s good enough where he can hold up at tackle, and he’s such a clean, clean player on tape. His ability to recover and work his hands and bend, he’s one of the better guys.”

First thing I noticed was none of them were wearing mask. A guy responded saying this was from two seasons ago. I wonder how many pounds he can squat now.

KG will see your 400# and raise you to 700#.

Wow, not bad...Kendrick Green, IOL, Illinois...Ninja, he's projected as a day 3 developmental project...do u think he's worth a round 6 pick for us?

I don't think Slater makes it to #13 following his pro day

33 is good enough and 34 is ideal for OT.

My go to resource for NFL draft prospects is Ourlads and their bigboard has Slater going #5 to the Bengals....as of pre-free agency draft mock updated 3/9/21. https://www.ourlads.com/nfl-mock-dra...k-Draft-1.0/94
