2023.03.30 18:10 Smirkydarkdude My First days with an Ioniq 5 (LONG)
![]() | Just found this write-up from last November. A couple days after getting my Ioniq 5 I hit the road for a north/south cross continent road trip. I promise you will want to skip this. On my best day I’m exceptionally long winded. Still here? You’ve been warned. submitted by Smirkydarkdude to electricvehicles [link] [comments] Day 1 of ownership... get some 3M PPF. https://preview.redd.it/grdpjgj77wqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca89ba46db745960e8c1857e2b00a5a491aea4bc Now time for an epic road trip. Calgary to Saskatchewan to pick up a beautiful little puppy. Then back to Alberta. Picked up a nasty stone chip... *FML* and no time to have it repaired before we go. https://preview.redd.it/gx45khg0dwqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eb0297165493eb85cd3269e53d6699dd0ec38d7 Here's our first commercial charge. https://preview.redd.it/vls8vhxcdwqa1.jpg?width=2655&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ab2829e147df646f0a9cba23f2e1397ef3f3593 Mission successful! Puppy acquired. Meet Jessie. Now back to Alberta. Jessie! We spend our winters in Scottsdale so I arrived back at home just in time to head south. Road Trip: Calgary to Arizona… Day 0 – Nov 6 – check the weather. It looks exceptionally bad and getting worse over the next week. Epic storms. Temps going to -29c. Ya… let’s do this. Set the car to charge to 100% and get a good night’s rest. Day 1 – Nov 7 -19C. Hit the Bluelink, warm up the car, quick shower and run out to a toasty warm vehicle all ready to roll. Oh wait… maybe route plan? ABRP pops up a route, I print it out and we hit the road. Drive to Nanton Alberta – Epic blizzard. And I’m no stranger to cold. I grew up in Saskatchewan Canada which is home to the worst weather on the planet. But today… the roads are literally ice. Pure ice. So many cars in the ditch. Emergency vehicles everywhere. The road conditions are worse than I’ve ever seen in my life. Pulled from a news site. I drove through this disaster. I hit Nanton and find a really slow 50kw charger… I’m pulling 44kw and ABRP says I need 100% if I’m to have any chance of making stop 2? Suddenly this is starting to look like it might be a bit much for a rookie. Undeterred we head for Cardston Alberta. And hoooollly the roads were white knuckle the whole way. All that blowing snow was driving the driver assist insane. It was constantly beeping thinking I was crossing a line or about to collide into something. I had to shut it all off and go old school. Considering turning back. https://preview.redd.it/eozmer3f8wqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e100bf8edac522907d46c176caef46a6841049b The I5 with it’s low center of gravity and my AWD version in particular seem to be handling conditions where Ford 150’s are sliding off into the ditch. I’m rethinking my decision to skip winter tires… but I won’t need them in Arizona… still… might be nice today. At Cardston we pull 49kw from a 50kw charger. ABRP says I only need a quick top-up. Today is not the day you want to run out of “gas” so I opt for a long slow charge to 100% which, as it turns out, was an exceptionally fortunate decision. I thought I was done with gas stations... but my wife still found a use for them occasionally. :) https://preview.redd.it/si4b7yp39wqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f3624cbf1f3b11200e4086a6c2cfff237bec63b Crossing the US border I ask the helpful border guard his advice on driving through Glacier National Park. Guard tells me the park is closed because – “well stupid, it’s winter and that’s a mountain and those are goat trails covered 10 feet deep in snow and what are you thinking?” Umm… but ABRP says… Well sh*t - time for a plan B. There are some 9kw chargers on our alternate route… but my alternate around the park is an hour longer and takes me to a place I have to google in order to spell even today… Kalispell Montana. There were brief sunny periods but also lots of time when visibility was near zero. The road conditions have significantly deteriorated. There are cliffs and curves and steep climbs and long stretches of downhill. There are no vehicles on the road. Lots in the ditch. Beautiful but terrifying sliding around these mountain curves Driving down the road the car develops a nasty shimmy. The steering wheel is shaking back and forth, the car is sluggish to accelerate… I’m starting to question my life choices. There is nobody and nothing anywhere in this frozen wasteland. Oh and no cell coverage. Of course. Who would live in a place like this? I guess somebody like me because this is exactly like Saskatchewan except with mountains. Meanwhile I’m watching the guess-o-meter. It says “Ya… u dum. U probably dead bro.” Slowly over the next hour it moves to “Meh… there’s maybe a 1 chance in a million you get there” and finally as I pull into Clark Hyundai Kalispell, which is miraculously open, it reads “what were you worried about!? You got 30 miles in the tank!”. The joys of driving down a mountain I guess. The service manager Pat pulls the car in, assigns Mike. Mike does some magic and in 20 min transforms my snow packed slush covered ice mobile into a shiny brand new Ioniq 5. How they got all that snow and Ice off I have no idea but I’m assuming an industrial strength hot water pressure sprayer? Shimmy is gone. It was just packed snow.. and free! Best of all… a warm show room and a 62KW charger out front. Ahhh. After a quick(er) charge it’s back on the road. Clark Hyundai Kalispell MT Heading to Missoula Montana. We have a hotel booked in Butte Montana but that’s off the table so I called ahead to the Best Western in Missoula. They assure me they have lots of high speed EV chargers. Another white knuckle drive down deserted highways I pull in… and yes… they DO have a lot of EV chargers. Tesla Super Chargers. Useless to me of course. *sigh* This is the joys of owning a non-Tesla. Driving past endless empty super chargers while on fumes waiting for some sketchy Electrify America charger that's probably crashed. *sigh* I am so happy to have an Ioniq 352 days of the year but for those 3 day road trips... ya. I have Tesla envy for sure. I drop off the wife and pups and head over to Walmart. At least we have some 350kw chargers. They only give out 125kw but that’s the fastest so far. At this point, while charging I do some reading about the battery conditioning feature. If I had used the Hyundai Nav rather than Google Maps I could maybe have been speeding up my charging a bit. I did try this trick for the remainder of the trip. I saw the weird red coil thing light up. But I honestly didn’t notice any difference in speed. Back to the hotel and end of day 1… Day 2. The weather has, miraculously, turned even WORSE. WTF?! How is this storm a real thing? Am I somehow in Antarctica? But off we go. https://preview.redd.it/k3xv7fck9wqa1.jpg?width=2288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbd22d211adf9fd374b13659ea3e0914e9991dac This day is much like the previous day – except worse – as we travel across Montana from Missoula to Butte and then head south on the I15. I’d love to say the roads were improving but they really weren’t. SOOO COLD! -30C to as low as -40C. But inside the I5 it's toasty warm. Every now and again we would see a snow plow had gone past and scraped off the top layer of ice. But that was about it. To make things more exciting the speed limit is 80mph. But I kept it slow… usually 55 – 65 mph. On rare occasions down to 35mph with the emergency flashers running. For our last charge in Montana, I found the Dell Mercantile charger just off the highway. Some nice big fast Electrify America chargers in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Nice. https://preview.redd.it/bnv7t63s9wqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc254f2a871b766972af026f1b3d8087d266b909 Then on to Utah. And a huge change in the weather. The snow changed to epic torrential rain. Like “build me an Ark” rain. It was insane. It continued all day. And again more trucks and cars in the ditch. What on earth is going on here? https://preview.redd.it/6b4imbxdfwqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aad85ca2f58bc9a83e550245e4564a513db4c4fc I charged in Idaho Falls and Chubbuck (yes that’s a real place) Perry UT, Spanish Fork but had a real shock when AGAIN I was tricked by ABRP. You think AI won’t try and kill you when it gets sentient? It’s ALREADY trying to kill me. The charger in Scipio Utah will eventually be lovely but at the moment it’s 4 chargers under construction surrounded by a wire fence. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL! Once again I was driving on fumes in terrible weather and the next charger was 80 miles away in Beaver Utah. But the Ioniq continued to surprise and we made it again with no trouble. ABRP sends me to this charger... thanks guys. At one particularly nasty charge where I was near zero I pulled in to find a Tesla parked in front of one of the two 350’s – fully blocking it. He had pulled the cord from the other 350 across from its stall and was using it to charge. Leaving a 150 (crashed) and another 150 for the lower class types like me. Naturally he had California plates and when he eventually sauntered back to his car – now crawling to 94% - he looked the part of a California Tesla owner – man bun, nasty little goatee. I had to stomp on my inner redneck and draw on my deep reserves of Canadian niceness to kindly point out to him that he was blocking all the good chargers. He didn’t seem to care. He said he would be leaving soon. Grrrr.. https://preview.redd.it/8j39uj04awqa1.jpg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dda43076a7f4e927a1b04e68f7bf55c730e6666c The only other bad charger guy I encountered was an abandoned Mach E blocking the 350 charger in some weird little town. Not even charging. Nobody came or went while we were here. I was mad at the time but honestly the 150’s are about the same speed as the 350’s in the cold so it really makes no difference. Still bugs me. https://preview.redd.it/z82fbxe7awqa1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d5dfad5d1d8bdfc840974cc5279f30151db2754 The Days Inn in Beaver Utah has 4 very nice Electrify America chargers all working reasonably well. I was beat and needed to sleep. But the Days Inn didn't allow dogs and we had our two pups with us. We crashed at a real dive Motel 8. The bed felt like it’s coils came out of one of those rusty F150’s I kept passing in the ditch. But I slept like a rock anyway. Day 3: Home stretch. Scottsdale awaits. The weather went from OMG to OMG How NICE! Sun! In Los Vegas we had a mini EV convention at an outlet mall. 5 vehicles charging all at one station. A Bolt, a Porche Tycan and 3 Hyundai I5’s. Poor guy in the Tycan couldn’t get his car to charge and was on the phone with EA. The other I5 owners had their cars for 4 to 8 months and took it all in stride but I was thrilled to see fellow I5’s in the wild for the first time. https://preview.redd.it/gqakr06gcwqa1.jpg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14ddd894be24ee4d76358496dff228ac1d9a83e8 Back on the road and now for an epic drive across the Sonoran desert. Lake Mede which feeds Hoover dam is just a puddle. Vast fields of solar panels cover miles and gigantic windmills stretch as far as the eye can see. Things have changed so much in the past 12 years of my trips to Arizona. https://preview.redd.it/yc1kgk2xawqa1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2be30312f18ddafb6a0140e86ef3b0a761b59b8 We pulled into Kingman Arizona and it felt a bit post-apocalyptic. Sooo many homeless people. So may cop cars and sirens. Tons of monster trucks waving American flags. I guess Americans had some kind of election… they are always having elections so this was no surprise… but I guess this particular election has offended the red hat types who predominate this city. Meh. Not my country, not my problem. I didn't take any pics... but this is my impression of Kingman... https://preview.redd.it/cn6ujfnebwqa1.jpg?width=965&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fbdaf1ba71826936c4f5d4b9c57f152fcaedac4 I went to a full 100% charge at really nice high speeds topping 200kw at times. The warmer temps are helping. My thinking was to skip the charger in Wickenburg which had mixed reviews on Plugshare (yes I was now using Plug Share to avoid those unpleasant surprises from ABRP). My thought was to evaluate my state of charge in Wickenburg and maybe skip that one and hit a charger on the edge of Phoenix. On a later trip I got a good look at the charger in Wickenburg. Glad I passed it up. Its honestly junk. On the other hand, if you need a charge, it's the only game in town. Charger in Wickenburg By the time I got to Wickenburg it was clear I could definitely make Phoenix and by the time I hit Phoenix it was clear I could even get all the way home to Scottsdale. We stopped in at a Costco for supplies and landed at home with 50 miles left in the tank. I have a Shell Recharge portable charger and set up a plug in the garage last year before I left. So charging up at home last night was seamless. A wonderful night sleep in my own bed and today I’m sitting under my palm tree and getting ready for what passes for winter in Arizona. Lol. Ya… Arizona? That’s not winter. https://preview.redd.it/ckgp2rbacwqa1.jpg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bb7d893a344a28886df6ae2b2a4c43957a0dae5 Now I plan with ABRP and Plugshare. Charging is routine. Road trips are simple and easy. But those early days were way more exciting. |

2023.03.30 17:30 hallach_halil Halil's top 10 offensive tackles of the 2023 NFL Draft:
![]() | submitted by hallach_halil to NFL_Draft [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/h7yadmh65wqa1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=71a68dc9f771977f95c872af0a8310a93c2f0d94 We’ve arrived at the big-boy portion of our positional draft rankings! After already breaking down the best running backs, linebackers, wide receivers and cornerbacks of this class, we will spend these next two weeks talking about the guys inside the trenches both inside and out for offense and defense – and we are starting with the offensive tackle position! I believe there are four small-dunk first-round players among this group, who can all be week-one starters, with varying degrees of technical advancement compared to physical upside. After that, there are five names, who I’d have no problem with all going inside the top-75, including a couple of athletic specimen, who aren’t close to the potential of players they can become one day. At number ten, there’s one more highly talented prospect, who may actually go earlier than a few names I have listed above him, based on the ceiling he presents. After that, you’re looking at more so serviceable players, who will largely be backups, along with a couple of underdeveloped kids you may want to take a flyer on day three, if you have the edges of your O-line secured for now. Just to clarify – North Dakota State’s Cody Mauch will see his name listed among the interior offensive line. Here’s how I have this group stacked up: https://preview.redd.it/7ec6hum75wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d812a7c348e35b9bd2b8185c93b8e4c20ac075e0 1. Paris Johnson, Ohio State6’6”, 315-pounds; RS SO The top-rated offensive tackle in the 2020 class, Johnson saw the field for just 22 snaps as a true freshman, before taking over as the full-time starter at right guard in ’21 and earning second-team All-Big Ten honors (13 games). Last year he improved to consensus first-team and second-team All-American this past year, when he moved out to left tackle. His steady presence on C.J. Stroud’s blindside enabled the Buckeyes to finish first (45.7) and second (44.2) respectively in points per game in FBS these past two seasons. + The grip strength, demeanor and leg-drive are all there in the run game and he really works up through contact to create that momentum + Out at tackle, he can really widen that edge and cover up guys responsible for contain, routinely allowing backs to stretch out and get out to the corner or cut underneath, At guard, you saw him come in from the side on nose-tackles to push them over into the opposite A-gap, so that guy can’t two-gap + Shows the hip mobility to reach-block three-techniques, as well as come off combos late and get a piece of the linebacker, while having some extra room for error if his angles up to the second level aren’t perfect + With the way he covers ground on zone concepts, Johnson can execute fold-blocks and make the job easier for the guard inside of him, to just seal the down-lineman + Swiftly establishes the inside foot and gets his base turned, in order to force edge defenders to have to go through him on the backside of gap schemes + Gets after second-level defenders with tremendous urgency and you actually see him seal off true MIKEs straight over the center at times + His dexterity to twist defenders and get his lower body turned simultaneously to open up lanes is highly impressive, You saw that when LBs try to blitz the play-side gap and he pins them away from it, to present a wide hole (B-gap at guard) + Displays good awareness for defenses walking down a linebacker late outside him and how that changes responsibilities on run schemes + Clearly has that mobility to play in space, with impressive success getting his hands on corners and safeties in the screen game + Johnson features a well-coordinated, patient kick-slide and uses his wingspan well to not present a free B-gap + Arms for days at just over 36 inches and edge rushers have to take wider angles consistently, while being able to stab with the inside arm at the near-shoulder to actively elongate those + With those long branches and strong upper body to control rushers even if his elbows are outside his frame + Smooth lateral mover, to stay in front of inside counters and help out on the interior in a hurry, if his man drops out + It also enables him to slide in front of interior linemen in the play-action game and full-line slides before they can even get that first step down regularly + When defenders sell out for the bull-rush and create movement, Johnson can increase his step frequency and knee bend to re-anchor effectively + No problem at all flipping and riding aggressive upfield rushers towards his own end-zone + Shows the ability to recover and still ride loopers off track, as he has to transition on delayed T-E twists + Playing at guard, you saw Johnson actively looking for work if he doesn’t have a direct assignment, delivering some significant chips from the side, And that transitioned along with moving out to tackle, where week one against Notre Dame, the next-closest rusher ended up being in the A-gap and he still made sure that guy hit the ground + Did allow two sacks last year, but only one other QB hit across 910 pass-blocking snaps since the start of 2021 (26 non-sack pressures) – His base can get a little narrow as he churns his legs in the run game and it may lead to him landing on the turf more regularly against pros – Tends to stop his feet when he throws his hands and heavily relies on the two-handed punch – he will need to adapt more independent hand usage – His hands overall are pretty high and wide, particularly picking up loopers and blitzers – There’s room to still get stronger, when it comes to swallowing initial power and snatch guys late, not allowing them to escape as plays are being extended – Can overstride at times selling play-action and allow his D-end to slip inside of him Based on his height and general skill-set, Johnson was a miscast at right guard as a redshirt freshman in 2021, but did show he can excel in the run game right away. Once he moved to his designated position at left tackle this past season, the pass-blocking skills were able to shine as well. He’s one of the smoothest athletes you will find for the position, yet has the strength in his hands to take control in both facets of the game. Where I do believe he needs to improve is not using two-handed punches regularly and his base to anchor against power leaves things to be desired at this point. Considering what an easy mover he is and the length he possesses to counter-act that, those should be fixable areas though. I do believe he’s best suited for a zone-based rushing attack, where his mobility and leg-drive can really shine, rather than just blowing defenders off the ball vertically, but there’s upside to utilize him even more as a puller across the formation or out towards the perimeter. I don’t see Johnson making it out of the top-15. https://preview.redd.it/vmdtyszl5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7337fd02380eb6f7fb215fc5886678b58137176 2. Broderick Jones, Georgia6’5″, 315 pounds; JR Right outside the top-10 overall recruits in 2020, Jones only started four games over his first two seasons (all at left tackle in 2021). He ook over on the blindside this past season and was absolutely dominant, paving the way for a Georgia offense that averaged 500 yards and 41.1 points per game (fifth nationally), which made it all the way to an undefeated championship season (their second straight title). Jones himself was named first-team All-SEC. + Jones has good girth in all the right areas, without any excess weight in the mid-section + Imposing road-grader in the run game, Gets after people whether the score is 0-0 or his team is up by 50 + This guy regularly tosses the edge defender on the front-side of zone runs out of the way and forces linebackers to fill the B-gap in a hurry + Can absolutely blow D-tackles off their landmarks when coming in on an angle on double-teams, particularly in short-yardage and goal-line situations + If he gets underneath the arm-pit of linemen, he can wash them down and create significant cutback opportunities, And he has the grip strength to twist defenders out of running lanes, even if he can’t block down on an angle + Understands when he has to add a gather-step against wider alignments, to not presents easy opportunities for edge defenders to jump inside of his blocks + On combo-blocks his eyes are usually up and he doesn’t struggle to work up to the backer with space, with the force in his hands to shove them to the ground + Regularly was utilized as a puller on GT power, where he’s light on his feet as he skips out of his stance but heavy at contact, and has the reactionary agility to adjust on the fly + This dude is scary to be in front of on screens and pulling out to the corner, where most defenders try to go low on him, to avoid getting thrown around + Even if his technique isn’t perfect yet, Jones presents the athletic lower half and strong upper body to ride edge rushers off track + If defenders go into the chest of him, they quickly realize there’s not much they can do anymore + You rarely see guys turn the corner when engaged with Jones, where they try to dip-and-rip, but he still guides them enough off track to not affect the QB + He packs a lot of strength in those hands, to widen their arc significantly or push them into the pile, if they try to quickly crash inside + Linebackers trying to get around Jones on delayed blitzes seem to have no clue how to actually approach this and are content with just standing there with his arms extended + When Jones’ guy slants away from him and he’s unoccupied, he delivers some devastating rib-shots on somebody tangled up with one of his teammates + Watching the 2022 season-opener 49-3 destruction of Oregon, the pass-pro reps for Jones was so clean throughout the day and he completely shut guys out trying to work against him + Wasn’t responsible for a single sack and just nine other pressures across 470 pass-blocking snaps this past season + Ran the best 40 time among all O-linemen in Indy this year at 4.97 and his movement during the on-field drills was well-coordinated – His feet can get a little heavy late and defenders are able to work off his blocks, where you’d want more flexion in the lower rather than upper half, and that’s in part due to imperfect hand-placement – Too often in 2022, you’d see Jones drop his eyes when initiating contact in both facets of the game, and defenders being able to pull him off – Makes himself vulnerable to inside counters on a regularly basis, when he should keep his shoulders and hips squared, but instead opens up to the edge rusher, who doesn’t even have the angle to beat him around the corner – When he did face a legit speed-rusher in LSU’s B.J. Ojulari, you saw him punch with the outside hand and had that left foot in the air as well, creating a soft shoulder to get past – Has to do a better job of coming to balance at times when working up the field in the screen game, as guys have the ability to side-step him This is still clearly an ascending tackle prospect, who won’t turn 22 years old until after the draft and only logged 19 career starts at the Bulldogs. However, his natural talent stood out right away and he was already one of the premiere players at his position in his first season as a full-time starters, despite facing a loaded slate of SEC edge defenders. Now, some of those guys were actually the ones who gave him trouble, because they could threaten the edges of his frame off the snap and were more technically advanced, but there’s no reason to believe he won’t be able to get to that level sooner rather than later, with the natural power he possesses and the awareness he showed as a young player already. I want to see him eliminate this nasty little habit of not keeping his chin up, but in terms of brute force in the run game and ability to snatch up pass-rushers, he has a chance to turn into the most complete guy of the bunch. https://preview.redd.it/iqar1p3q5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=299f9090e1cf7f3cd0671e52795acdad55ed18d3 3. Peter Skoronski, Northwestern6’4”, 300 pounds; JR Slightly outside the top-100 overall recruits in 2020, Skoronski stepped in at left tackle as a true freshman and was named to the All-Freshman team, when Rashawn Slater decided to sit out the season due to COVID concerns. Then he improved to a first-team All-Big Ten performer in 2021, which he repeated this past season, along with being a unanimous first-team All-American. His grandfather Bob Skoronski was a starter and team captain for all five of Vince Lombardi’s championship teams. + The best compliment I can give Skoronski is that his tape can be almost boring at times, because every rep is clean and there’s not much to note + His aiming points and angles are excellent for such a young player + Operates from a wide base and with good leg-drive, while lifting up through contact with his elbows in tight + Does well to establish positioning with the inside foot sealing edge defenders on the backside of run concepts + Gets underneath the arm pit of D-tackles on angular blocks and rides them down the line + Brings plus grip strength and ability to twist bodies to expand running lanes, along with the dexterity to keep his hands latched as defenders try to slip or turn away from contact + Consistently works with square shoulders and stays tight to his teammate on vertical combos, to maximize force and not allow defenders to split those + Patient and under control working up to the second level, being able to get under the chest with great consistency + Also getting out to the corner on fly sweeps or those completely horizontal handoffs, he rarely overruns targets, just blindly hustling out there + Somehow people are inferring that Skoronski isn’t a great athlete, when he tested in the 70th percentile or better among all combine events other than the three-cone and his jumps were 96th and 97th percentile respectively + Already a very sound and comfortable pass-protector, who consistently is first off the ball, gets to his landmarks and doesn’t throw his technique out of the window + Shows an understanding for the depth of the pocket and how to manipulate rush angles, along with the easy lateral movement to mirror guys across multiple moves + Adjusts the length of his initial dependent on where combat will occur and is able beat wide-nine alignments to the spot + His hands are so consistent with landing inside the frame of rushers and controlling reps, because they typically stay attached throughout + Varies his approach and excels at using his arms in independent fashion, whether he’s trying to widen guys with the inside hand or wants to take charge off them on power rushes + Rarely does his weight shift too far to the outside foot and he’s ready to negate angles as guys are trying to slice through the inside shoulder + Extends his inside arm when deciphering through the pressure and is ready to redirect towards guys slanting to the B-gap if there’s no threat off the edge + His feel for shuffling along and how to pick up loopers with the two-handed strike, to guide their path is impressive for a young player + Allowed just two sacks on nearly 700 snaps as a true freshman and did the same in ’21 on over 800, along with 18 additional pressures, However he quietly just had his best season in that regard (one sack, two QB hits and three hurries) – The big hold-up with Skoronski of course is only having 32 and ¼-inch arms, while I also believe he played below 310-pound mark – You see edge rushers really create problems for him with long-arm maneuvers, where he can’t place his hands or has the kind of super-strong base to just swallow those – It can also show up in the run ground where guys can just out-reach him and therefore pull him off when leaning into contact – Doesn’t create a whole lot of knock-back at first contact with his strike generally and you rarely see him take linebackers for a ride, the way you’d like to – While I love with how much control he plays, at times I’d appreciate a little more urgency to just negate space in the first instance rather than trying to establish position At the risk of sounding like a cop-out, it’s pretty easy to find a comparison in terms of player profile for Skoronski, if we just go to the guy he replaced at Northwestern, in Rashawn Slater. I do believe the now-Pro Bowler was a greater athlete, particularly with some of the insane stuff he did in the weightroom, to balance out length concern. However, Skoronski is clearly the most technically advanced tackle in the 2023 class. The way he fits his hands and is able to transfer force from the ground up in the run game, along with reading rushers and using different combat-maneuvers to counter them, are tremendous. There’s not much to criticize on tape, but you just wonder how high his ceiling may be, due to always having a disadvantage in that one area. Ultimately, I believe a team will start him out at tackle and he will play it at a pretty high level, but he transitions inside a couple of years into his pro career. Having him down at number three almost feels wrong, but it only speaks to the strength of the top of this class, as Skoronski will be a top-15 overall prospect for me. https://preview.redd.it/bd049ort5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aea2dbe7a850332f4d80c96bca7674e425a104f 4. Darnell Wright, Tennessee6’6”, 335 pounds; SR The number two offensive tackle recruit in 2019 behind only Alabama standout and now-Giant Evan Neal, Wright started seven of eleven games as a true freshman (five at right tackle, two at right guard) and then nine of ten available for in year two (all at RT). In 2021 he started all 13 games at left tackle and helped the Tennessee offense score a team-record 511 points, before moving back to the right side this past season, when the Vols immediately broke that record (599) and Dwight was recognized individually as a first-team All-SEC performer. + When you look at this guy, everything you see screams “power” at you + Shows a natural ability to sink his hips and work up through contact, to create movement on angular blocks + You’re just not going to rock this guy’s pads backwards or squeeze him down on backside seal-blocks + Has the explosiveness out of his stance to work cross-/fold-blocks and skip pulls in the run game + For a man his size, the agility in short areas and flexibility in his lower half to reach-block edge defenders on fly sweeps is pretty impressive + Just engulfs smaller bodies stepping down or replacing edge defenders, when he comes across the line on kick-outs + Really strong with that inside arm, to extend and create that little bit of extra movement, while riding bodies on the interior into the trash when given the opportunity + Can create some significant momentum on B-gap defenders as the angular element to combo blocks by accelerating his feet through the target + Showcases the dexterity to keep his hands in place with the hips of the man he’s responsible for, as they’re trying to slice past, and he rides them off their landmarks + Doesn’t look uncomfortable getting out in space and has the natural power to put defenders on the ground by just getting a hand on them + His feet are quick enough to match legit speed off the edge and then sit down to not allow himself to be ridden into the quarterback’s space at the top of the arc + Shows good awareness for that platform of the guy padding the ball back there and when to flip with the rusher, to ride him past that point + His base is so strong, that even when rushers seem to set up speed-to-power well, Wright can stymie their charge and force them to look for different strategies + Can work in some independent hand usage to keep rushers in line with his frame, along with really snatching cloth and dropping his hips, in order to take control of reps + Displays impressive body-control, to quickly puts his outside foot back down and mirror inside moves, even by twitchy guys at nearly 100 pounds less + Once rushers get off balance, he can quickly put them on the ground and exploits of the opportunity to jump on top of them + Extremely battle-tested against a collection of impressive SEC edge rushers and more than held his own – Allowed just one hurry all day against Alabama in 2022, largely going up against a lock for the top-five in Will Anderson, who simply couldn’t work his typical speed-to-power against him + Didn’t give up a single sack and just eight total pressures across 507 pass-blocking snaps this past season – Carries a little excess weight in the mid-section I’d say and he’s not quite up to par with the top-three guys in terms of foot quickness – Doesn’t consistently play up to his size and brings the aggression to create displacement in the run game, while other times he gets his weight shifted too far out in front as he really goes for it (partially due to the type of offense the Volunteers ran) – Gets too far over his skis at times and ends up stumbling forward when he can’t connect with his hands as D-linemen reduce their surface area – While you like the mobility to get to the second level, he doesn’t break down and secure blocks consistently enough to take care of his assignments – Regularly late off the snap and has a certain up-kick to his pass-sets, which didn’t become as much of a problems with less than a quarter of his work being labelled as “true pass-sets” by PFF (tons of RPOs, screens, etc.) I’ve been a fan of Wright for a while now and he’s been ascending his draft stock throughout this process. He came in at a massive 342 pounds for Senior Bowl week, yet he showcased impressive movement skills, effortlessly mirroring a couple of spin moves, along with taking the fight to more power-based string, showcasing his strong upper half. Then he moved around extremely well during the on-field drills at the combine and you heard those bags pop when he landed his punches in pass-pro. This guy has 2746 career snaps with full years starting at both left and right tackle, put together an incredible track record against a murderous row of SEC edge defenders. So I have no doubt that he should and will go in the first round. I’d like to see him enforce his power on a more consistent basis and there’s a little bit of a tweak that he has to work on his kick-slide, but I don’t think there’s much of a gap between him and what is generally accepted as the “big three” at offensive tackle. https://preview.redd.it/2bantyhz5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e0735a47dece55582f30d1e5c2ed70a20c791b0 5. Dawand Jones, Ohio State6’6”, 350 pounds; SR Just outside the top-1000 overall recruits in 2019, Jones appeared in nine games as a true freshman and then in six of eight contests in the COVID-shortened following campaign, including his first start, In 2021, he started all 13 games and was a second-team All-Big Ten selection for the Buckeyes, which he repeated this past season, Then last year he was a second-team All-American, as a mainstay on that right edge + Massive upper half and can knock defenders off balance when he just lands those hands in the run game, And with the long arms he can deliver that last push to get the man further off track to create room late + I thought overall Jones’ urgency off the snap and willingness to impose himself physically was a lot better in 2022 + You see him dish out some literal two-handed shoves to blow the front-side wide open + When he grabs the shoulder-plate and extends though, you see put guys flat on their backs at times, especially linebackers mugged up in the gap + If D-ends try to crash across him face on the backside of zone runs, he will wash them way down the line and optically show the ball-carrier to cut back behind him + Because of how massive he is, when he tries to reach-block guys on the edge, they often try to peak around and get off balance, to where he can ride them along and allow the back to stay behind his block + Yet, if he’s tasked with simply sealing the back-side, extending that outside arm in the chest of edge guys and bringing the opposite hip-around is very effective + When he arrives at the party, with no direct assignment, he can help move the significantly and allow the ball-carrier to hide behind that wall or push through it + Some of his tape is just hilarious to watch, when he puts guys on the ground seemingly without breaking a sweat + Offers a quick jump out of his stance to cut off the angle for edge rushers, has his hands ready at his mid-section and is patient with his punch + The way he snatches and traps guys when they do get closer to his body makes him basically negate guys completely + His insane 7’6” wingspan allows him to constantly put a hand on defenders before those guys could even get to his frame, and it gives him a ton of room for error in his technique + If guys try to loop wide around him and don’t actively try to find an angle, he’s fine sitting back and waiting there, but if he does go for it, those long arms can really stymie rushers in their approach + Even if the outside hand is swatted away, he can push guys further off track by still reaching them with the other arm + When he does overset and rushers create that lane to the quarterback seemingly going underneath, Jones is typically able to ride those guys across the QB’s face, to leave him unaffected + Buries guys underneath himself with regularity, if they shift their momentum too far out in front + After surrendering three sacks and eight other pressures in 2021, Jones didn’t even allow his quarterback to be hit once due to him last year and only hurried five times + PFF awarded him with their highest pass-blocking efficiency of any draft-eligible tackle at 99.4 last season – You see Jones just throw his hands and not move his lower body at times, when he can’t get his body positioned accordingly throughout run plays – Appears disoriented when his initial assignment is changed post-snap and he has to come up solutions on the fly in that regard – The way he puts his hands on the face-mask of defenders and some of the pull-downs will be flagged more regularly at the pro level – Short-setting guys and forcing them to go way around him, because of his size and length, was an effective strategy at the college level, but that won’t fly in the NFL – At this point, Jones does get by with his massive frame and length along with natural strength, which won’t be as prevalent going against pro players, who will force him to get on their level technically Jones only took part in the first practice at the Senior Bowl, but he just stood out from the moment he stepped on the field with his giganteous size and unheard of wingspan. Edge defenders quickly realized that they weren’t going to get through his chest, but the one rep that really stood out to me came during individual run-blocking, where he was supposed to reach-block his man but didn’t gain enough ground laterally with that first step, yet he was able to create so much torque on the far-shoulder of his man, that he ended up turning and pinning that guy inside anyway. That’s what you’re dealing with here – an absolute mountain of a man, whose strength and length give him a lot of room for error and when he puts it altogether, he can dominate people. Now, while he has definitely shown technical development, he does heavily rely on his natural gifts and will have to overhaul his pass-sets in order to actually cut off angles for more talented and crafty NFL rushers than he’s faced so far. However, he has things you can’t teach and the potential(!) to become a more athletic version of Orlando Brown down the road. https://preview.redd.it/6r479jy16wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38e4af4bec8cae79d514f0146d7eee4df0a6d297 6. Anton Harrison, Oklahoma6’4″, 310 pounds; JR A four-star recruit in 2020, Harrison already logged over 1000 snaps at left tackle through his first two seasons with the Sooners. As a junior, he started all but on one of 12 regular season game on the blindside yet again (one at right tackle and opted out of the Cheez-It Bowl) and received more recognition on a national scale, when he was named a first-team All-Big 12 performer. + Presents an athletic frame with minimal excess weight and long arms (34 and ¼) + Can create some knock-back as he lands his hands inside the frame of defenders, shoving linebackers off track regularly + Last season I thought he was more assertive near the point of attack, to drive-block edge defenders or block down on three-techniques and get guys off their landmarks + You see him lift stand up D-tackles in order for fellow linemen wrap around behind him regularly + On the backside of wide zone runs, if linebackers try to shoot the B-gaps Harrison hits and rides them way down the line, to open up massive cutback lanes behind him + When guys try to dip underneath him or get around blocks, Harrison typically rides them towards his own end-zone to blow the front-side open + Has the quick burst to help secure the down-linemen on combo blocks and then deliver some force to open up a lane inside of them as somebody from the second level behind it steps down + Bends off the inside foot and uncoils force through defenders in the hole wrapping around on powecounter schemes + Frequently is able to face-plant defenders as he catches them off balance, with one foot off the ground, with the triceps strength to extend and push them down + Makes the job of his teammates a lot easier, when he’s passing off down-linemen on front-side combos by extending with the inside arm and allowing the guy next to him to bring his base and secure the block + Rarely overruns his targets in space and forces guys to work around him consistently, being able to put his hands on third-level defenders in the screen game + His 4.98 in the 40 was tied for the second-best mark among all offensive linemen at the combine + There’s good rhythm and a certain calmness in his kick-slide, with the light feet to guide edge defenders around the loop + Times up his strike as rushers try to throw their hands, frequently hitting them as they’re off balance and taking them to the ground every once in a while + His initial hand-placement may not be great always and he gets caught with his elbow out wide, but he does work to re-fit them and finds way to gain control + And he finds ways to maximize his length to out-reach his man + Can really snatch rushers as he grabs cloth of guys trying to work through him, without giving them a lane to escape + Plays under good control generally and doesn’t overreact to defensive movement, picking up games and mirroring guys with space to work + Smoothly transitions from the slanting linemen to the looper on E-T twists + Has some impressive recovery moments on tape, where rushers have him on skates and he’s somehow able to drop his anchor due to his high-level balance + Allowed just one sack and eight hurries (no QB hits) across 447 pass-blocking snaps in '22 – Can’t reduce his height very well and you can see them roll his weight over his shoulders at times trying to establish contact with smaller linebackers – Doesn’t set the tone in the run game like you’d want to see for that size, having to become more effective with his hand-placement and re-work the way he transitions force from the ground up – You see some of that as well in the pass game, when his chest folds forward instead of working with sink in his hips and then he kind of tries to chase after guys up the arc, where if timed correctly can leave the inside lane to the QB completely free – Carries his hands fairly low and comes in wide with the punch, to where guys who sell out on attacking his chest can take him for a ride a few times, as he doesn’t seem ready to land his hands – You see that at times when he’s not ready for somebody coming his way on twists – There’s a few reps, where he tries to ride edge rushers up the field, but he doesn’t maintain contact and that guy is able to slip underneath him It’s never easy projecting tackles in particular going from offensive systems that relied heavily on a few run concepts, off which they build their RPO game and offer limited reps for pass-protectors to prove themselves. The areas of weakness in Harrison’s game right now are pretty clear – he struggles to bend at the knees and maximizing his power in the run game, while his hands and feet aren’t married regularly enough in pass-pro. On the Brightside, he does bring plenty of shock in his hands and well-coordinated movement to work to the second level, while being light on his feet to deal with speed off the edge and being able to clamp down on guys once he takes control of reps. There is a fairly steep learning curve in front of him, but he has all the physical tools and the mindset to become a plus starter on the blindside, which is why he regularly finds his name late in first-round mock drafts. https://preview.redd.it/nzz0mil56wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=549bb7a2010328440f87267236cc16657fb3744d 7. Matthew Bergeron, Syracuse6’5”, 320 pounds; RS JR Just inside the top-1000 overall recruits in 2019, Bergeron played in 12 and started five game as a true freshman. Other than missing two games this past season, he started all of the other 34 games, with all but three of those at left tackle. He earned honorable mention and then second-team All-ACC accolades most recently, whilst being a team captain in 2022. + Nice girth throughout his frame and effectively rolls his hips through contact to create movement in the run game + Even with sub-optimal hand-placement, he can widen the edge pretty consistently on the front-side of zone concepts + Shows a strong grip with the inside hand, which doesn’t allow edge defenders to back-door or slip his blocks typically + When having to block down on three-techniques who aggressively try to get through his gap, Bergerson does well to get his hand on the defenders’ hip and use that momentum against that guy + Does well to on hinge-blocks and just get the job done when tasked with sealing guys on the backside of concepts + In formations with a tight-end next to him, where the C-gap was uncovered, Bergeron effectively was able to able to pick up and ride smaller bodies at the edge of the box out of the picture + You really like what he presents blocking on the move, sweeping around the edge and taking linebackers for a ride or blowing DBs trying to set the edge out of the picture + Was utilized on some skip-pulls, where he would wrap around on GT power plays and looked pretty light on his feet to get to his landmarks + Shows a real plan in his approach as a pass-protector, changing up between quick sets, jumping out of his stance aggressively versus speed-based rushers, etc. + Covers a ton of ground in his kick-sets in order to counter true speed-balls off the edge + Carries his hands at his hips and is ready to punch and counter the movement of rushers + Will land some surprise stabs quickly at the chest of rushers, to throw off the timing of the moves they want to set up + Displays the body-control to re-anchor even when it looks like power rushers are under control of reps + Transitions well on twists by the D-line, whether it’s the strong base to absorb force by the initial slanter or the lateral agility to slide in front of the secondary looper + Quickly redirects from the initial kick to a lateral shuffle in order to help out or take over stunting interior defenders, if his man on the edge peels off + Generally can use the momentum of defender to guide them away from the quarterback + Takes advantages of chances to pull off-balance rushers to the ground and pins them down there + While he was officially charged for five sacks by PFF last season, in terms of total pressures he was at 12 compared to 11 the year prior, with 770 combined pass-blocking snaps – His hands regularly start off high and wide already and he minimizes the force he can apply in the run game, as well as make him vulnerable to get flagged, because the refs can see everything – Pro Football Focus only credited his with 33 positively graded run plays last season, which I wouldn’t judge as such (in terms of a net plus), but in terms of having his hands latched onto the aiming points, that number is probably about right – Tends to pick up his inside foot too much, as he’s trying to gain ground vertically in his pass-sets and becomes vulnerable against guys with a great long-arm – Clemson’s Myles Murphy was in control of that matchup for most of the day, even if Myles didn’t get to finish many plays – Edge rushers frequently are the ones to get their arms inside and Bergeron ends up with his elbows out wide, which limits his ability to slow down power Bergeron has nearly put together the exact same resume during his pre-draft process as Tennessee’s Darnell Wright. Throughout Senior Bowl week, I thought his movement skills in pass-protection were highly impressive, not allowing guys to gain an angle on the quarterback, as well as being able to mirror and shut down some challenging counter moves. And while he didn’t test at the combine, he had a tremendous on-field workout. He looked so light-footed, changed directions and reacted to the coaches’ indications without any issues. His hand-placement in both facets of the game drove me wild at times on tape, but that area already looked improved down in Mobile and I also understand that he will receive the type of coaching to see major benefits. How well he carries 320 pounds, being able to cover ground vertically and horizontal in protection, is rare – and he doesn’t even yet take great advantage of his play-strength all the time. I would not be shocked if he ends up being one of the last few picks of the first round and he’s probably a top-50 lock. https://preview.redd.it/mtdi5g886wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=120cdb6f5301e589e65609dafd49f45750d0eb1f 8.
