Nah man you said multiple scouts had him as a day 2 pick.  Normally how this works is when you proclaim something like that you have to show your work.  Show me where multiple scouts had him round 2 preseason.

Here are 5 Way Too Early 2021 Mock Drafts from 2020 and none of them have Slater in the 1st round.

Mayfield broke the record for most TD passes thrown by a rookie. He had a down 2019 with Kitchens, but this narrative doesn't fit.

it wasn’t an uncommon thought to assume the Browns were ready to move on from him even during the beginning of 2020. He also had waaay better weapons than Darnold. They fixed his line and got him a smart coach and he led them right to the playoffs. I know I’m a Fields guy, but this is a strong argument for us to draft a LT at 8...

Honestly, I'm not 100% sold that Zaven Collins shouldn't be considered the best LB prospect in this class. Dude gives me Urlacher vibes.

I came very close to calling him one of the generational talents of this draft  (non QB)--along with Sewell, Chase, and Pitts.

There is just no chance we pass on slater for a slot wide receiver IMO.  That’s just insanity.   

Who helps you win more games? Garrett Bolles or Tyreek Hill? 
 

Doesn’t seem so insane when you think about it like that.

Full disclosure, I’m hoping for the LT also, because I think finding WRs later is easier, but I understand the argument for Waddle.

How did mahoomes and hill do in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer.  How did cam play in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
