I am a huge fam of Robinson, but Zierlein is basically the Dan McNeil of Houston sports radio. A radio guy, but no real background in football or scouting. He Mel Kipered his way into that job.
He also has Skoronski at 6, who triggers you really badly.
Bro, Skoronski doesn’t trigger me badly based on who he is. What pissed me the **** off was the boneheaded lazy pick based on a fixed value ideology. Value is not immutable; it is relative with fluidity.
We do not need a LT. Yeah, there are some straight up meatheads clamoring to replace Braxton Jones. They are out of their fucking minds. Nah, we need a RT and a C, and, maybe, a LG. RT, despite the current vogue of sayjng it is basically LT, is different, because it needs to be a people mover. Skoronski is not that. It’s not his skill set. He will make a team happy who runs the risk of drafting him for LT.
I’m thinking of of a trade back scenario for my next mock where we trade with Carolina and then pick up an extra second from the Jets so they can move up and take Skoronski. He would make perfect sense for them, not us.
I was pissed at the sheer lazy analysis and value-based mock drafting that was akin to helmet scouting QBs.
