I had Slater not only the best LT coming into that draft but one of the better tackles in the last few years.
I debated many on him being better than Sewell and absolutely should be classified as a LT.
You're absolutely right on how it worked out with Parsons, who i was wrong on. Slater would have been my 2nd option after Parsons though as it stands today
- Thing is though, this Cowboys club still thinks the world of Tyron, and thinks he's still an All pro - when he is healthy enuff to play. And maybe contract related, they are not ready to
move on from him yet. He would have to retire suddenly ala Travis Fredrick,.. or immediately slip to Chaz Green like status.
- plus i was hearing reports or rumors that Cowboys thought Slater as more of an OG, than a LT... that shocked me - but was that based off Wil McClay's scouts evaluation. or was it
more to what OL coach Joe Philibin saw him ?
- Bears' Robert Quinn makes it ...wow
- i thought at beginning Lamb would have a chance to be in the picture over Justin Jefferson .. but the issues at QB- OL
- Don't be surprised if Tyler is asked to be an alternate selection per a Kelce injury, etc.
- what a slim pickings on RBs .. i wouldn't know who else to pick outside of the chosen ones ...no ZKE or Barkley, this time around ...
- Really thought the 1st half season Prescott would had a chance to edge out Kyle Murray ..
