Sewell, I think, is still only 19 and has an enormous upside as a result.
Slater would be a good plug and play for a team that’s close and needs a T who can contribute right away. If you’re building towards the future, Sewell is clear and easy.
Agreed.
I think Slater is the #2 T off the board to a team like the Cowboys or Chargers. [Reply]

Looks closer to Day 3 than Top 30.
His physical measurements are not going to pop out, so I could see that driving him down a bit.
He played through injury the last few games and had no DL in front of him. He was fighting through OL all game, every game, from Arkansas on.
I think he’ll eventually end up in the 2nd round and, if in the right scheme, provide really nice value. [Reply]

Keep in mind, on the defensive side Veach is becoming more like Dorsey and is leaning more on analytics & metrics. Thus, he's drafting players that are better tested athletes [Reply]

He helps his QB by getting open on scramble drills multiple times.
He has break away speed to go with his huge frame and big wingspan.
He has that post-catch wiggle that Kelce is so good at; secure the ball and make the tackler miss on the first move.
I love this guy and the aforementioned Toney for our offense.

Yeah, I've come around to him being my top guy, too.
He did fine doing dirty work stuff at LSU when they had Chase and Jefferson in front of him on the target priority. He could handle being the third wheel behind Kelce and Hill (Or even option 4 behind them and CEH). [Reply]
