Probably because most of the draft analysts i've listened say that when it comes to wingspan they don't think it matters for the OL as much as they like to use it for players on the DL. They say they care more about the arm length when talking about Ol/Tackles.
You really do let this Campbell thing get to you. You say the same things over and over again about him. Skoronski was drafted to play G, not LT, they drafted JC Latham the following year to play LT for them and Skoronski has not struggled at G, he's actually played well.
wut?!
I've learned not to engage him on this, but the Titans coach at the time of draft said they didnt have a specific position in mind for him. TEN ended up thinking his best position was G which is true, but that misses the other side of that coin which is "because they dont think he can be a decent OT". The Titans lost their starting LT, RT, and swing tackle for huge amount of time in '23 and had the worst OTs in the league, and never tried to play Skoronski at T even for a game to see what they had - you could maybe say "thats because they needed a G" but they did move their RG to OT for a few games due to injury so thats doesnt track either. Actions speak louder than words and TEN has told the league loud and clear what they think about Skoronski as a tackle.
definitely
Imagine you dont want to admit you were wrong and go from there. Here's the current GM on this same topic:
Don't know, but if 43 out of 46 were different from combine to pro day something is up.
It’s weird.
Well to some HCs it simply does not matter, in that same interview McVey was talking about outliers like the guy on his who was to short, to light, and arms too short to play DT.............Aaron Donald. I think if Poles /Johnson takes him I will defer to them.
Wingspan is wingspan though. Measuring a single arm length could be more subjective in what is correct or not
Jeanty will be gone by 10
Speculating makes things so much easier when trying to prove something doesn't it? LOL
Ummmm i never said that but twisting someone's words always helps when trying to make a point.
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.
He played LT in college but they drafted him to play a less important position despite having 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
