As for your comments, I think most of us have enough expiernce watching games to either quantify or disqualify PFF scores. I admit I have never qatched Slayton so yes I use PFF and others who have watched him to form an opinion. It appears he is an abover average to very good run stopper and 2 down DT due to lack of pass rusing ability. 

I made comments on Cappa due to wacching him every game and statistics and PFF. PFF verified what I saw, Cappa was our worst guard in 2024 and giving up 35 QB pressures or over 2 per game in 2023, he was a liability for us in 2023 and 2024 blocking for our franchise QB. Was it injured in both 2023 and 2024? Maybe, I have no way of knowing but in the end does it matter, he under produced for a OG set to make over 10 million dollars in 2025, thus he was rightfully cut.

I actually agree on the Guards.

I just think that overall as a DT, Slayton will be disappointing. His run defense grade was actually pretty low by PFF too.

His Run Defense Grade was 45 which was 157/219 DT's. - T.J. Slaton | Cincinnati Bengals DI | NFL and PFF stats

PFF may be wrong, but they're not drastically wrong to the point of him being one of the best Run Defending DT's in the NFL and ranked that bad.

Where he excelled was Run Block Win Rate. Which just means he advances his position.
