Teams may be viewing Skoronski, B. Jones, Steen, Mauch as IOLs.

Some nuggets on Skoronski:

• As a pass blocker, Skoronski can bend and is a smooth mover. He has quick feet and can play the typewriter to glide with pass rushers to keep them from running the arc around him. Skoronski does not have good length, but he uses what he has well and is a smart tactician with how he engages defenders. Skoronski places his hands well and shows good technique in negating speed or power rushes.
• In the ground game, Skoronski is effective and contributes well. He generates movement on defenders via his ability to push them or manipulate them through some advanced power. As a junior, Skoronski showed more strength and power to knock defenders off the ball and drive them backward. He was a tough blocker in short-yardage situations, and he displayed the necessary strength to be a starting right tackle in the NFL. Skoronski's quickness and smooth moving ability make him very good at firing to the second level to get to blocks on linebackers or move in space pulling around the line.
• Skoronski has good speed, athleticism, and agility to move in space. He would be a great fit in a zone-blocking scheme because he is agile at getting in position and is very fast to the second level. He would be a good fit for a zone scheme.
• Skoronski and Jones have the power to knock defenders backward and generate movement at the point of attack.
• Skoronski, Jones and Steen could start at tackle or guard in the NFL. Skoronski might be able to play any position on the offensive line.
• Skoronski could be dynamite as a pulling guard in the NFL. He is so agile, quick and balanced in his approach. Skoronski can dish out perfect blocks in space to open holes.

Some nuggets on Broderick Jones:

• In pass protection, Broderick Jones has the quickness and agility to mirror speed rushers. He also possesses a strong base to hold up against bull rushes. While Jones has talent and technique, he lacks length, which could be problematic for him in the NFL. Longer defensive ends and rush linebackers could give him problems with being able to shed his blocks.
• On running plays, Broderick Jones has aggression and blocks with a mean streak. Finding nasty bullies up front is getting more difficult as the game has changed, but Jones is a throwback who blocks through the whistle, shoves defenders around, buries them into the turf, and violently finishes them off. Jones has the developed strength to push his assignment out of their gap and open holes in the ground game. With heavy hands, Jones is able to sustain his blocks after shocking defenders backward. Jones also has the quickness and athleticism to get to the second level. He can pull and would be a fit in a zone-blocking or power-man scheme as a pro.
• Jones, Steen, Mauch, Tippman and Patterson would be fine fits in a zone-blocking scheme. None of them is a dominant athlete or exceptionally fast, but they all have enough quickness and agility to execute zone plays.
• Skoronski and Jones have the power to knock defenders backward and generate movement at the point of attack.
• Jones and Steen both have the ability to start at guard or tackle in the NFL.
• Jones has good feet, speed and athleticism to be an effective puller at the pro level. With his quickness and feet, he should be very good at moving through trash and hit blocks in space.

Some nuggets on Tyler Steen:

• Steen is a polished pass blocker who bends at the knee and shows good development in his set up. He slides his feet well to cut off the edge and does not bend at the waist to lunge after defenders. With his thick and strong build, Steen anchors well against bull rushes, holding his ground and not getting driven into the quarterback. Steen's power and strong hands give him a nice ability to sustain blocks.
• Steen is able to tie up and manipulate defenders in the ground game. He can push defenders backward and keep them from getting to his runner. While Steen is not an overpowering force, he is a quality, reliable run blocker.
• Jones, Steen, Mauch, Tippman and Patterson would be fine fits in a zone-blocking scheme. None of them is a dominant athlete or exceptionally fast, but they all have enough quickness and agility to execute zone plays.
• Steen is a tough blocker who has the ability to bull defenders and create movement at the point of attack.
• Jones and Steen both have the ability to start at guard or tackle in the NFL.
• Steen, Tippman and Patterson are smart technicians and that makes them effective at pulling. They are quick and athletic enough to get out in space to hit a block at the second level.

Some nuggets on Mauch:

• Mauch is a reliable pass protector. He was steady for North Dakota State over the past few seasons, and he then held his own in the Senior Bowl one-on-ones. Mauch could get into trouble when powerful defensive tackles knock him off track. They could give him some issues early in his pro career, but he has the quickness and athleticism to block speed rushers. Mauch should become a good interior pass protector in the NFL.
• As a run blocker, Mauch has good technique. When he gets his hands on defenders, he stalls them out and keeps them from making plays. However, team sources said they feel Mauch needs to get stronger, which was evident at the Senior Bowl. Mauch has good natural along with being mobile and athletic. He is a very nice fit for a zone scheme because he can use his quickness and agility to be part of a moving wall.
• Jones, Steen, Mauch, Tippman and Patterson would be fine fits in a zone-blocking scheme. None of them is a dominant athlete or exceptionally fast, but they all have enough quickness and agility to execute zone plays.
• Mauch would need to get stronger for playing man.
• Mauch played tackle in college, but team sources said they see him as a guard. Perhaps he could be an emergency tackle in the NFL.

More Walter Football trash? That's a lot for 1 day.

Will you just engage the conversation instead of stopping it dead because you don't like the author.

Where do you agree, where do you disagree.

It's fine, you don't like the author's work, I completely get it. But it's draft content and I enjoy the discussion.

Come on, man.

Teams may be viewing Skoronski, B. Jones, Steen, Mauch as IOLs.

Then goes on to list that Steen and Jones can play both OG and OT. No shit?

It isn't some magical statement that people think Skoronski might move to OG. It's only been talked about in his scouting reports before WF posted this shit.

[DJ's left nut]

I think that's probably fair for all those guys. Any one of them might make it at OT but are probably more likely to end up at G at some point in their careers. Skoronski and Jones both seem like guys who will probably stick at T but to say that some teams prefer them at guard is hardly any sort of hot take.

[kccrow]

Broderick Jones has an argument as the best LT prospect in this class. He's not playing guard. The rest, yeah, it's more likely than not.

I see Joe Thuney when I watch Skoronoski.
