So glad Slayton is back

[kcsu]

He is our best DT in a very long time. It is great to have him back.

 

[bnoro]

Where was he going to go?

6th round

6th round

If he declared for the draft he would have gone undrafted. And I'm a huge fan of his.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

6th round

How many Round 5-7 projections have we had in the last 5 years that have gone undrafted? Hickey, AET, Eskridge, etc.

I agree, best since jay brom and think he might be a better pro

perhaps the only positive of our slim dl depth, thank god he ended the season reasonably healthy.

Could always use another big DT and an elite pass rusher, but going forward we have the best DL depth in many season. The starting unit returns. Lose only Samuels from the second unit. Black returns from injury and is up to 285 lbs. Pickard returns from injury. Jonathan, Morton and Hughes in their second years should contribute as depth.

Compare that to recent seasons when we had RsF and a true rotation in the top DT rotation (2015), or true frosh at DEs (2016, or true sophs in 3 spots in the front 4 (2017).

When I mentioned slim depth I was speaking about the 2017 line. A lot of youth and injuries.

And I think a name that is missing here is Curtis Harper

 

[longislandcuse]

With the entire Clemson D-Line inexplicably coming back, I'm not sure I could've handled him going pro.

 

[kcsu]

Did he announce that he is staying?

I think that today was the deadline to declare for the draft.
