Pre-Draft Analysis
Slater has below-average length for an elite offensive tackle prospect, but he's a polished hand fighter with excellent quickness, upper-body strength and body control. He's an effective positional blocker with good balance and average power in the run game. Slater has excellent range and is smooth climbing to the second level. -- Steve Muench
Post-Draft Analysis
Last year the Chargers got their franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert, who had an impressive rookie season despite subpar offensive line play. Now they need to find a way to keep him upright and put him in position to continue to get better while also improving an average run game. Slater is an immediate upgrade over Trey Pipkins and should protect Herbert for years. -- Muench
