Colvin was lights out and then went from the penthouse to cut in less than two seasons after being paid to be an outside corner. Hayden was one of the bigger draft busts in recent memory for years before being put in the slot and instantly being lights out himself.

Wow. Really digging deep on this one, huh? 

"Playing the slot is easy."  Super hot take. 

It's a skill set that plenty of DBs simply don't have.  A team's #3 corner is not always their de facto nickel. 
Because some don't have the right spatial awareness and ability to flow with the ball and/or their assignment in traffic.  Some work better with the aid of the boundary and fewer bodies around them.

isn't this his last year on his contract? If so, sign him up! 3-yr deal. Pay him top slot corner pay (whatever it is). Then draft Okudah or Fulton at corner, and then be set there for the foreseeable future

He has 2020 with us under contract as I mentioned in the post above yours.
