I just don't see a role for him at this level. He appears to be a pretty good route runner but is iffy enough in pass pro that you don't love him as a 3rd down back. He's certainly not someone I'd want to be giving the ball between the 20s because he doesn't have any sort of long speed.
I think he MIGHT be able to give you something similar to what Hunt did this season. But even that might be a stretch as Hunt's vision really is special -- I don't think Skattebo's is; probably merely good.
He
might be in my top 15 at RB? maybe. But I'd take Harvey over him for sure. Honestly, I even prefer someone like Damien Martinez. Or take a flyer on an Ollie Gordon. I've already talked about Tuten - I'd definitely prefer him. Probably Sanders out of South Carolina. Antario Brown from NIU is far more intriguing. I mean if I'm going with someone with Skattebo's speed, gimme Phil Mafeh to at least hammer into guys.
There are just a TON of guys I like more than him.
There will be RBs I like more than Skattebo going undrafted. I just can't talk myself into him at all. I mean I'm not a huge fan of, say, Donovan Edwards but I'm not sure why I should think Skattebo is likely to be a better NFL player than him and Edwards could easily end up a UDFA. Or Henry Parrish.
I just don't see much 'there' there.
