Welcome to draft season! This is the fifth of 11 positional breakdowns leading up to the NFL draft (April 27-29). Here are my top 10 offensive tackles:
— 1. Peter Skoronski (Jr., Northwestern, 6-foot-4, 313 pounds)
Skoronski took over for Rashawn Slater as a true freshman in 2020 and the offense didn't miss a beat. Some scouts may say his size and arm length better suits him to play guard, but they also said that about Slater, who was a second-team All-Pro tackle his rookie season. His measurables are almost identical to eight-time All-Pro guard Zack Martin. Regardless, guys like Skoronski, Slater and Martin can just play. It doesn't matter where you line them up. Projected: Top 15
