Which is probably the least realistic choice the Bengals may take. Watching Slater's games and his pro day you really get struck with how effortlessly he moves. Slater also tested extremely well. Compared to the 2018-2020 combine results which encompassed 158 offenseive linemen Slater ranked as follows:
40 yard: 3rd
Vertical: Tied for 6th
Bench: Tied for 6th
Broad Jump: Tied for 8th
3 cone: Tied for 9th
Shuttle: 2nd
From what I've been reading, the Falcons are leaning more and more towards staying at 4 and taking Pitts, which makes a ton of sense with Arthur Smith, who loves running 12 personnel. Pitts would have a HUGE impact on that offense right away.
If they do stay put and Lance goes to the 49ers, that means Fields will still be there at 5 and he is the guy that Billy B is reportedly salivating over...so I think the Pats will definitely come calling, offering up some serious capital for the 5th pick.
If that happens, I think it would be hard to pass on...even with how hard it would be to pass on Chase and Sewell.
