Sacramento State guard Jackson Slater is one of the more underrated offensive linemen in this year’s draft class. The question is, where will he be drafted in the next few days?
Five Potential Landing Spots for Jackson Slater
Green Bay Packers
The Packers pride themselves on drafting and developing great interior linemen.
Green Bay could use some depth along the line after losing center Josh Myers to the New York Jets in free agency.
Slater could come in and play guard with versatile lineman Elgton Jenkins, who is likely moving to the center.
Dallas Cowboys
With the retirement of future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin, the Cowboys need a strong run-blocker.
Slater fits the mold and could be a huge addition for new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs struggled to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl, which is why the Eagles were able to become champions.
Look for Kansas City to adjust the play of their line in this draft, especially after Joe Thuney was traded to the Chicago Bears.
They could look to Slater here on Day 2 or Day 3 of the draft.
Detroit Lions
If you have watched head coach Dan Campbell build his Lions teams over the last few years, the offensive line has been the backbone of the roster.
Slater could be a quality developmental pick as Detroit looks to build up its depth in the trenches.
The Lions are looking to be Super Bowl contenders for years to come.
New York Jets
The Jets greatly struggled to protect future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers while he was under contract with the team.

Under new head coach Aaron Glenn, the Jets should prioritize the trenches in this draft.
Slater would give the Jets a versatile big man next to new center Josh Myers and provide new quarterback Justin Fields with some extra protection.
