Really good AL.com article on Darius Slayton as it shows what he’s all about as a person.
You can tell he loves Auburn and tbe decision was hard, but his frustration with his pegged WR role and concern with the QB position next year won out. He doesn’t mind what round he gets drafted.

I enjoyed that. Not sure Slayton was appreciated as much as he should've been. Sure, he had a few drops, but he also made a ton of big plays and seems like the kind of player you wish you had a locker room full of.

I wonder how many of these guys will grace Birminghams AAF squad, assuming the league survives.
I could see Parkey and Coates if neither can stick with a NFL team.

Slayton had experience and a lot of talent so his leaving certainly put us in a spot of needing a new top drop receiver. It’s a safe bet he gets drafted and I hope he turns out to be a multipurpose receiver in the NFL. He’s not going to have much guaranteed money if his decision doesn’t work out.

Slayton will not be drafted.

False lol. The NFL will draft rugby players if that means untapped potential.

I would be shocked if Darius Slayton wasn’t drafted, especially after he runs in the 4.3s at the combine.

6’2 guy with speed probably gets drafted. Fair or unfair, he’s going to have to catch the ball more if he wants to stick on a roster after that.

How many guys run 4.3 at combine?
He is not Amari Cooper level.
IF drafted, it I will be round 5 or later.
SLayton is a guy, not the man.
Nothing against him, but he will be fortunate to be drafted.
His hands are not special.
I don’t think Ryan Davis gets drafted either.
Maybe I’ll be surprised.
I wish them both well and they made some plays for Auburn, but they are not special.

This may describe Darius Slayton... but it also describes
- RD3 Chris Conley
- RD2 DJ Chark
- RD4 Ricardo Louis
If Darius Slayton measures at ~6'2+, ~195+ and runs a 4.3-4.4, he will be drafted at some point even if late

Greg Robinson’s 1 year deal will be a base salary of $7mil, up to $9mil with incentives. He’s gonna get paid next season if he plays well again

Sounds like he is getting paid well even if he doesn't play well

That’s true. But a $7mil one year deal sets him up for a better contract than his rookie deal if he plays well this year. Pretty cool for a guy that was written off a few years ago.

The nfl is about the system that’s why you see all these guys come out of no where to be stars who wrrent big names in college.
Slayton can make a roster

An NFL prospect who I liked A LOT better on second viewing: #Auburn WR Darius Slayton. His speed is obvious, but he is more than that.
It wouldn't shock me if he is drafted top-100.

Looks like KC is going to put a franchise tag on Dee Ford.

Was surprised at that but good for Dee.....

That’s not really good for Ford. The one year salary is nice but there are drawbacks. He’s basically just being rented out if not given a long term contract. If he under performs or gets injured next year, his value falls hard and Ford won’t have the value or the leverage when he’s seeking a long term deal which can provide a safety net for the future.

True all of that.
But one GOOD thing about being franchised is that as soon as he plays a single down of the 2019 season the entire amount is guaranteed money.
I wonder what the franchise figure is for the top 3-4 OLBs in 2019? I would bet its around 16M to 18M.
Edit: I guess it depends upon how they define his position. Ford is definitely an “edge” rusher and those players are either 4-3 DEs or 3-4 OLBs. The info at the link below says that the estimated 2019 franchise tender for DEs is approx $17M but the tender for LBs is approx $15.4M. That sure is a sloppy way to define “position” in the NFL with so many hybrid positions and skills that exist in modern football. Which would Ford get, the DE tender or the LB? The team will, of course, say “Absolutely, he’s a LB!” to save money, but tell elite edge rusher Dee Ford that with Khalil Mack making $22M in salary and bonuses in 2019.
