Wingspan is wingspan though. Measuring a single arm length could be more subjective in what is correct or not

Completely different situations. For one, Donald was WAY more dominant and a better college player than Campbell. Donald falling was mainly due to his height and weight, which was always stupid considering he was incredibly strong and actually had very long arms even for someone much taller than him. His arms are actually longer than campbell’s despite being 5 inches shorter.
He also absolutely crushed the combine. CRUSHED it. Campbell would be a complete outlier at LT because of his wingspan and arm length. Additionally, his tape isn’t even in the same universe as Donald’s college tape. If the bears picked Campbell at 10 I would absolutely hate the pick until proven otherwise, and question what the hell Poles and BJ are smoking. BJ is a smart guy, and based on Poles’ history, he absolutely values measurements and length for an OT. I’d be surprised and extremely disappointed if he were the pick.

Speculating makes things so much easier when trying to prove something doesn't it? LOL
By the way, i never tried saying Skoronski could play LT, just said they didn't draft him to play T which they proved. I have no idea if he can or can't. Nobody does.

How was i wrong? Never said the guy could play LT, only said he was drafted to play G which is where they put him. He said there's longer and bigger players but still........they never tried him at LT to know whether he could or couldn't do it.
You seem to think you confirmed something that you didn't. LOL

He played LT in college but they drafted him to play a less important position despite having a need at LT
I think that says everything right there. Like, if he could play LT, he would be playing it still in the NFL like he did in college. Especially considering they clearly had a need at LT

I notice how all the ‘wow campbells arm length was longer at pro day’ happen to completely ignore the fact his wingspan was shorter

I think that says something but not everything. Many thought he could play LT and because he never got that chance then we don't know. Maybe they didn't think he could play there or maybe they had other plans for LT and simply liked they he would be a great G and put him there and left him there. Maybe they were looking ahead and thought they could fill LT the following draft since they were building the team.

The fact that they drafted a LT early in the very next draft tells you they didn’t have anything worthwhile there already when they took Skoronski

I get what you're thinking but i think i just look at it a little different. Doesn't really matter because he's a G and still has alligator arms and we most likely will never get to see him get a shot at LT.

I hope the Jets do that. Slides more trench options to the Bears.

Chris Simms has RJ Harvey from UCF as his number 3 ranked RB. I’ve mentioned him as one of my sleepers a few times. His take is pretty bold.

@HeHateMe I believe we finally might have an answer.
When is the 2025 NFL Draft?
Round 1: April 24, 8 p.m. ET
Rounds 2 and 3: April 25, 7 p.m. ET
Rounds 4-7: April 26, noon ET
How can I watch the NFL Draft?
You can watch all three days on ABC, NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
Apparently, you can even watch the draft in Spanish!

Some NFL Draft prop bets that would directly or indirectly impact Chicago.
“Jets first pick on a QB (+1700)
Woody Johnson wants attention. He hates being ignored far more than he hates losing, and the Justin Fields contract is far less than what he was giving Aaron Rodgers. Oh and his rookie head coach, Aaron Glenn, is well aware of Fields' warts and limitations from scheming against him when running the Lions defense.
I'm not buying the Jets won't make a big move here. While the Giants' ownership group may be fearful of the brash and bold Shedeur Sanders, it's exactly the kind of spectacle Woody loves. This is worth a sprinkle.
Saints to use first pick on QB (+1000)
New Orleans has passed on a slew of QBs since Drew Brees went into decline. They can't wait to get out of the mess they made with Derek Carr after this season. Top football exec Mickey Loomis just watched his frenemy Sean Payton grab the fourth-best QB in a draft – allegedly – and "overdraft" Bo Nix (allegedly) and it shot Denver to the playoffs.
The Saints had a lot of success with a former Ole Miss QB in Archie Manning, they have to embrace a rebuild at some point. And they also could be the team to break Sanders' fall if there is one.
Bears to draft Ashton Jeanty (+130)
Yeah I don't think this particular back makes it to Denver's spot. They'd have to move up for him, which honestly, wouldn't even shock me. The Bears think they've fixed their OL and they gushed about their skill guys a year ago. They have to protect Caleb Williams a helluva lot better.
Running the ball is imperative and this kid would never come off the field. It feels very much like what this front office would do. This fits their MO of making a splash and prizing skill guys.
Raiders first pick on a WR (+300)
Tom Brady is finally airing a smidge of the grievances he held against Bill Belichick from the demise of their relationship and hence the Patriots dynasty. What I heard repeatedly – like, for years, from people close to him who would know – is that Belichick's refusal to invest draft capital on pass catchers drove him nuts. They grabbed a high-end TE a year ago and secured the pass rush spot with a Maxx Crosby extension.
Brady is obviously very involved there and I just have a hunch he falls in love with a receiver in this draft, maybe even one from Arizona who teams seem to like more than mock drafters from what I gather.
If the Raiders could trade down I believe they would be very open to it, which could be a precursor to grabbing a receiver, too. I suspect these odds shift the closer we get to the draft. I want to get ahead of it.”

Why Jets taking a quarterback is a great NFL Draft prop long shot and four more best bets from insider
League sources indicate QBs will remain in high demand, while Ashton Jeanty could be headed to the Windy City
