The more I read about Skuta, the more I like this signing. He was a defensive end in college, so he's got some pass rush ability. Looks like he might have just been a late-bloomer in the pros. I don't see this as a Dekoda Watson-esque disaster for a couple of reasons. One, Skuta has actually <i>done</i> something other than run really fast. Two, when you watch him on tape (video below), he actually looks pretty good. Great motor, able to disengage from blockers, a surprising set of wheels and very sure tackling. I really get the feeling that he's the guy signed to play Otto for a couple of years while the linebacker they draft in the fifth round this year learns the game. He can also play inside...worth noting.
