I like the idea of putting Taj at slot.  He is our best outside WR but little doubt he would also thrive in the slot.  He showed a toughness and fearlessness this year that would serve him well playing in the slot.

I think it comes down to who else we have at outside WR and the slot, and how they develop in the spring.  
Anthony Queeley has emerged as a reliable outside WR.  
Hendrix looks very capable but can he stay healthy?

Alford must be showing the coaches something in practices.  He got some chances in games.  Lots of other players at outside WR that look like they have high ceilings and lots of potential.

Leading slot receivers in Babers era:

2016 Erv Phillips 90 catches 822 yards 6 TDs
2017 Erv Phillips 89 catches 901 yards 4 TDs
2018 Sean Riley 64 catches 756 yards 3 TDs
2019 Sean Riley 36 catches 275 yards 1 TD
2020 Nykeim Johnson 20 catches 323 yards 4 TDs

Our leading TE in receptions this year was Luke Benson with 6 catches.  Last year he had 8 and Aaron Hackett had 23.

Very disturbing trend.  Things are not much better at the outside WR positions.
