I'm leaning that way too.

Wouldn't be mad if he's the pick. Doesn't this guy have experience playing all over the line?

Wait until the combine. I think there's a good chance he doesn't have great length or size and gets docked by scouts.

Dude is becoming my top target for us at 12. He's so damn good. It would be nice if he had all the measurables wanted in a tackle, but that would make it unlikely he's there at 12.

Yup if we can't make a move for a QB, he's my pick at 12. fits like a glove all across the OL.

Finally. Something we can agree on.

Yup. At every position I believe.

If we don't get a QB Kyle's loves in Watson, Wilson, or Jones... I want us to take Slater or trade back for Alijah Vera Tucker.
Yes

Did we all just become best friends?

See what fatherhood is doing to you NY. You're already more wise!

Haha.

DO you guys see him as an OT or OG?

I see him more of an OG to be honest...
I wish there were more tape of Slater online. The draftniks and their damn access to the college all-22.

Sounds like a truce. But this is my preferred pick too. If he stays at guard, it means we signed Trent and MM got his act together. If he's moved to tackle, its insurance for either.
Need to keep this guy's thread on the first page because he's becoming the favorite in my eyes with each passing day that Trent Williams isn't resigned. Hell, even with Trent Williams they should still consider him. He can push McFloppy or slide into right guard.

I wouldn't worry about Trent, they may be waiting to see what the salary cap will be this year.

I haven't seen as much of Slater as I'd like, but from what I have he seems like a very good option.
Kyle doesn't value Guards (though I think he should) would he be happy taking Slater at 12, if that's where he ends up?

Like Hero I love the idea that he's your Guard early, but gives flexibility if you lose Trent or McGlinchey doesn't cut it. To me that's more than worth #12.

This is the reason I am on board.

He better. Bad guard play, more so than any other 1 factor, cost him the Super Bowl. I'm sure a film junkie like Kyle can see that.

I'm done with hoping these guys get better. Too much talent at our offensive skill positions to be held back by subpar Oline play. Get Mack for now, draft a Center to start later on down the road, draft Slater to start off at guard and potentially move to tackle if necessary. Sign Ben Garland to back up at center and guard, then we are in business.
All talks is he may be 1st lineman taken. Either way, wouldn't count on him being there at 12
