Schlauderaff

A heady pure guard prospect, Schlauderaff was four times an All-Academic pick in the Mountain West and started an impressive 49 straight games to close out his college career. He was a first-team all-conference pick as a senior. Schlauderaff doesn’t show much athleticism in workouts, but the Packers aren’t opposed to picking big, slow (6'5/302) linemen as long as they can be versatile. Schlauderaff won’t be counted on to start in year one.

Rookies can’t sign contracts during the transactions freeze, so they’re having to get creative. Schlauderaff, the 179th overall pick, is a heady guard prospect from Utah. He projects as a rookie backup, assuming he makes the team.

It was initially reported that he was waived. A sixth-round rookie, Schlauderaff isn’t likely to see many snaps this season. The Jets are desperate for depth after losing so many of their top backups on the line.

A sixth-round pick this spring, Schlauderaff will be a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers. Schlauderaff offers versatility, but he was out-practiced in camp by undrafted free agent Ray Dominguez.
