The Cost of Slater - PFN Mock on Tax Day By Purple Pain on Apr 15, 2021, 1:25pm CDT +
We can expect surprises in the NFL draft. It would be fortuitous for the Vikings if any of the elite 12 dropped to #14. Those include 5 QBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 CB, 1 OL, and 1 LB. Slater is projected at #13 going to the Chargers, but sometimes strange things happen because GMs decide they have better insight than the consensus. In those instances, Parsons, Slater, Smith/Waddle, or another drop to become available at the Vikings pick. I am a strong proponent of grabbing the BPA in early rounds, of which any of these would be. However, when an offer comes along that is too tempting, do you trade back or take the rock solid pick.
