Many people have Peter Skoronski projected as a top offensive tackle in the class, as he held up as Northwestern’s left tackle over the last few years. However, I don’t think that he has the lateral quickness to hold up on the edge against quicker defenders and speed rushers. Skoronski’s weaknesses pit him to play at a very high level at offensive guard. I think teams may try to play him at tackle for a year or two before sliding him inside.

Peter Skoronski scouting notes
Pros:
- Very strong upper body. Excellent strength.
- Stout lower body that allows him to anchor very effectively and launch forward as a run blocker.
- Very stout anchor. Doesn’t surrender much space or ground. Shows some bend ability.
- Strong hand placement. Does a great job holding in the block and keeping his hands on the interior of the defender.
- Great technique to handle defenders.
- Very strong pass blocker.
- Strong impact run blocker. Typically the main blocker that Northwestern runs their power, short yardage plays behind.
- Quick reaction to instances.
Cons:
- A tad bit slow laterally. Susceptible to outside speed rushes. Susceptible to any move at the top of his drop.
- Tends to stay too narrow for too long.
- Technique during the drop is good, it’s when he gets to his anchor that things are susceptible.
