​#70 Rashawn Slater vs Ohio State (2019)

Strengths: Slater is a very athletic, versatile, and cerebral player in this draft. He can play all positions on the offensive line. Slater has tremendous strength that will allow him to slide right in day one as an offensive guard. He fires off the ball rapidly after the snap and can pull out in front and get up to the second level without any issues. His mobility is one of his better assets on the field, setting the edge for outside run plays. As a pass blocker, he drops an excellent anchor and slides well with the speedy edge rushers. Whenever he beat off the snap, his mobility allows him to recover with relative ease.
​
Weaknesses: To remain out at the tackle position, he will need to put on more mass and add more strength to his already strong frame. Despite his mobility as a blocker, he tends to get his hands above the pad level in an upright position. He will need to play with more bend to his game. He will get overpowered by the bigger and stronger defensive lineman if he moves to guard. He struggles against most bull rusher and needs to add counters to their moves.

Draft Projection: 1st (late) - 3rd Round

NFL Comparison: ​Jonah Williams (Cincinnati Bengals)
