One of the sites I look at, drafttek.com, has position rankings and overall rankings for guys that project to multiple positions. Slater ranks #12 overall as a T and #28 overall as a G. Big reach either way.
The elephant in the room with Slater is he's a guy with good technique and a maxed out frame. He has very little room to get better, which is why it's hard to see him ever becoming an elite starter in the NFL.
It's his lack of scheme versatility that will make or break his career no matter what position he ends up playing.
Slater needs to go to a team that prioritizes Athleticism over Raw Power. He won't draw as much interest from teams that run that Man Gap/heavy inside zone. Slater could be elite in a wide zone scheme like the 49ers, Vikings, Browns, and Rams (possibly the Bengals).
