[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 951171, member: 12283"] If I had the luxury of picking a player in whatever style fit the Packers' current needs best, I would choose a guy like Devonte Wyatt. But given that they're picking at the back end of round 1, I just want them to take someone good; they can't be as picky. Jones and Slaton (and Clark for that matter) may overlap quite a bit in skill set, but that doesn't concern me on the defensive line. That's such a heavy rotational position and they just need quality bodies there right now. Last year, this was the snap distribution: -Clark: 782 (74%) -Lowry: 674 (62%) -Keke: 393 (36%) -Lancaster: 319 (30%) -Slaton: 255 (24%) That's 2423 snaps total. 393 of them are gone (Keke). 319 more probably leaving (Lancaster). I'd like to take about ~100 off of Clark to give him sweet for the long haul. And I personally wouldn't expect Lowry to maintain the same level of play that we saw from him in 2021 (that was a positive outlier season for him). If he drops back to average, then you're going to want to play him less. So all told, you could be wanting to replace ~900 snaps. That kind of opportunity could see huge upticks for Slaton and a guy like Heflin while still leaving plenty for a 1st round rookie. We also want to remember that Slaton, while promising, was a 5th rounder. The odds are against him beginning a good starters. More realistically, he will be a good rotational piece. Something else to consider is that the proliferation of light boxes, especially among that Vic Fangio coaching tree, has brought the big two gappers back into vogue. In that system, if you can reliably defend the run with 6 man boxes, that's a big consideration. [/QUOTE]
