Packers.com has consulted more than two dozen mock drafts from reputable national outlets and compiled a list of players most frequently mocked as draft selections in the middle portion of the first round (picks 10-20) who could fit Green Bay's potential roster needs.
Between now and draft day, when the Packers own the No. 15 overall selection in the first round, those players will be profiled with thumbnail sketches and videos known as "Prospect Primers."
Today's player is …
Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
Height/Weight: 6-4, 313
Key stats: Started all of the Wildcats' 33 games over the last three seasons at left tackle.
College honors: Chosen unanimous first-team All-America in 2022, was a finalist for the Outland Trophy given to the best college interior lineman, won the Rimington-Pace Big Ten offensive lineman of the year award, and named first-team All-Big Ten twice by coaches (once by media) after second-team honors as a true freshman in 2020.
Background/other info: Considered the best offensive lineman prospect in Northwestern's history. Is the grandson of Bob Skoronski, the Packers Hall of Famer who served as a captain on multiple Vince Lombardi title teams in the '60s. Stepped in as the starter at left tackle as a true freshman when teammate Rashawn Slater, who became a 2021 first-round draft pick, opted out of the shortened 2020 season. Finished the 2022 season with the highest pass-blocking grade in the country according to Pro Football Focus (93.0), its best single-season grade over the last two years. According to PFF, allowed only six pressures on 480 pass-blocking snaps, and his run-blocking grade (79.1) also ranked fifth among Power 5 tackles. If there's a knock against him, it's his short arms, but the same was said about Bryan Bulaga, the Packers' first-round draft pick in 2010 from another Big Ten school (Iowa) who became a decade-plus starter at tackle in the NFL.
