Slaton gave Cincinnati 17 starts and a career-best 52 tackles, then finally found some pass rush with three late sacks. At 340 pounds, his main job is still eating space and making the run bounce. I have him at a six. The new additions push him into a rotation, but having a proven 53-game starter as interior depth is a real strength.
Strengths: Slaton has exceptional mass, durable availability and the strength to occupy multiple blockers. His late-season sack surge showed occasional ability to collapse the pocket.
Weaknesses: He offers little sustained pass-rush juice and can wear down laterally against tempo. His role is narrower now that more disruptive interior defenders are ahead of him.
