PON has also matched value though. Slater generally considered a top 10 pick and Samuel a top 5 CB.

Both of these guys are also very pro ready, instant contributors.

Nice when PON and BPA intersect, ain't it?

Love the player. Give me the corner that looks back for the ball and can make plays.

Things are getting crazy when a 4.3 forty is considered slow.

Slater followed by Lil Asante is nearly a dream scenario first and second rounds.

Didn’t he run a 4.45?

Damn, just got back home from eating out. Found out we got some nifty receiver in the 3rd when we...oh no we didn't. Freakin' Asante in the 2nd! LOL the heck were those other teams thinking?!?!?!

I saw him with a 4.38

This is what I found on cbssportscom

• Samuel measured 5-foot-10 1/8 inches, 180 pounds with 8 7/8 inch hands, 30 1/8 inch arms and a 72 1/4 inch wingspan. He posted a 4.45 second 40-yard dash, 35 inch vertical jump, 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump, 4.13 second short shuttle, 6.95 second 3-cone drill and 12 repetitions on the bench press.

4.38 and 4.45 at pro day. Lots of people use the slower time.

And if you can tell the difference between those two times without using technology, you're a savant. It just confirms his film that his short area burst is better than deep speed, but he us by no means "slow".
