He's easily upgradable. If a TE is next on your board, for heavens sakes, draft him. You wouldn't let a James Mitchell stop you.
-
Mayer will block, but I don't think he's a value at 18.
-
None

I believe your perception is erroneous.
-
According to PFF, this isn't true. Where did you get that idea?
-
People always get caught up on the physical attributes of quarterbacks, when the biggest separators seem to be the ability to quickly process and read the defense, and get the ball to a spot on time. Marginal athletes with marginal arms who can do that can be successful, while great athletes with cannons who can't, wash out.
-
Yes, there's been talk for years of Smart having to stay on him, and Davis and Dean working to keep him focused and motivated.
-
Campbell says he wants Dawgs, not Turds.
-
Yes, he's not that caliber of talent, and likely others available will outgrade him.
-
He does seem to be more of a gadget player; he can't play on the edge, and he can't do a lot of the things you expect from a dt as far as stacking and maintaining gaps.

Not sure if you noticed, but father time eventually catches up to all of us. -
Yes, he's very much a project. He comes from a college system that is not nfl friendly and didn't prepare him, he has a plethora of mechanical and process issues to work through, and the injury will limit his ability to work on them. His age impacts his development curve, and his athleticism, his prime feature, will wane sooner.
-
Annual reminder: player visits don't mean much, last year only two of the eight Lions drafted had visited (Hutchinson and Joseph).
-
He's old, injured, and yet amazingly unrefined and erratic. He was in a system that didn't at all prepare him for the NFL. He has kind of a long and loopy release. Not sure why you're so hot for him.
-
Y'all are over thinking this. They have no need to draft a quarterback. If one is the highest rated player on their board when their turn comes up, then take him. If some other position is rated higher and helps the team more, then take him. Only trade up if an individual has so much more value than the other available pool of players to make it worthwhile.
-
I'd be okay if they never gave up premium draft assets for expensive veterans.
-
Mazi is going to go earlier than you think.
-
I'm just countering Budda
-
Charles Rogers? Titus Young?
-
No, you don't draft him if he is immature, unfocused, unreliable and uncommitted, despite his physical talent.
-
To me it's pass/fail, if, after you do your due diligence, he passes as an acceptable level of risk, take him at 6, if not, take him off your board.
-
To what end?
-
The problem with this draft, as wonderfully deep as it is, it is light at the top. Pretty much anyone at 6 is going to have some discouraging flaws.
-
This just isn't true. Gradewise, talentwise, valuewise, Skoronski fits right in with any pool of players who might be available at 6. To downgrade him simply due to arm length is ignorant.
-
Skoronski, everyone grades him as a star at either tackle position, he may profile better as a guard, but that doesn't diminish his prospects as a tackle.
