Soon after the Tennessee Titans took Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski in the 2023 NFL draft, experts began weighing in on the pick via grades.
In fact, our own Shaun Calderon was among them, giving the Titans an A, which is the highest grade on our scale (we don’t use +/- to keep things simple). Here’s what he had to say:
The Northwestern product is a true technician along the offensive line. Now, the real question is: where exactly does he line up in Week 1?
Due to his sub-33-inch arms, he may be better suited physically for the interior, but if there was anybody who deserves the benefit of the doubt that he can be an anomaly along the blindside, it’s Peter Skoronski.
No, he doesn’t have the ideal arm length you would prefer, but he knows how to compensate for it with fantastic hand usage, explosive athleticism and a cerebral approach to the position that will give him a chance against anybody.
The Titans just got a pillar along the offensive line, and his impact should be felt rather quickly.
Now, a look at how various other experts graded the Titans’ pick of Skoronski, along with what they had to say about it. In all, the Titans received overwhelming support for their first-round selection.
