Scouting Notes
- Great size, but limited athleticism.
- High football IQ and elite technique.
- Handles speed rushers well with great mobility, quickness and vision.
- Up-and-down tape. At times he was dominant, at times he looked very overmatched.
- Showed great anchor against bad competition, but got walked straight back against top-tier power.
- Hands aren’t very clean, he wrapped opponents up too often.
- Not exceptionally strong or imposing in run pro.
- Shockingly slow in space.
Short Summary
The Rashawn Slater substitute has blossomed before our eyes into one of the most technically sound and skilled Tackles in the draft. As a result, Peter Skoronski entered the offseason as arguably the OT1, but as the offseason rolled on he lost that status. After grinding the tape, he might have never deserved to be OT1 in the first place.
To be clear, I think Peter Skoronski is a hell of a player, and should be a quality starter at minimum for many years. Still, his tape isn’t that impressive, as I detailed in the Scouting Notes section above. Additionally, his arms are alarmingly short for an Offensive Tackle, and he doesn’t have the athleticism to play on the edge. Bumping him to the interior isn’t even a clear solution, since he’s played exclusively at Left Tackle his whole career, so the transition could be bumpy.
Overall, it’s easy to bet on the high floor, and I do believe Skoronski should be a multi-year talented starter. It will take some work, and I doubt he will ever be at the top of the league, but he’s a high-quality player.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- Percentiles in the Advanced Stats portion for cumulative stats are snap-adjusted. In other words, naturally, a player with more snaps will allow more sacks. Therefore, the percentiles are calculated using the snap-adjusted number, rather than the straight-forward total.
- PBLK Grade – PFF Pass Block Grade.
- RBLK Grade – PFF Run Block Grade.
- HitA, HurryA, PressA, SacksA – Hits Allowed, Hurries Allowed, Pressures Allowed, Sacks Allowed.
