Caleb Schlauderaff: Stay or Go?

PrintIf you want Mike Tannenbaum to invest late round Draft picks to develop linemen for depth, Caleb Schlauderaff is the man for you. The Jets acquired Schlauderaff from Green Bay at the end of the preseason for a conditional pick. Schlauderaff was Green Bay's sixth round pick in 2011. Let's say the Jets gave up their sixth for him. The best way to think of it is that Schlauderaff would be the Jets' sixth round pick in 2012.
Schlauderaff struggled in preseason for the Packers. He was probably not going to make their team. He only got 14 snaps in the regular season with the Jets, many as an extra tight end in power run packages. Not that anybody could come to much of a conclusion with such a scant sample size but he fared fine in those snaps.
It is difficult to say what the future holds for Schlauderaff. He is not a huge guy for his position at 305 pounds. Scouting reports indicate he was a technically sound run blocker coming out of school but not a guy who could get a huge push. He is more of a zone blocking guy. It sounds like he was more of a fit in Bill Callahan's blocking scheme than in Tony Sparano's. Many players end up defying their college scouting reports once they learn the ropes in the NFL. Since the Jets used a pick on him, they might as well see what they can get. He likely will at least get a chance to replace Robert Turner as the primary backup interior lineman.
I vote stay. How do you vote?

Since They Wasted a Pick on Him
they might as well give him the offseason to see what he can do. I think he will just wind up being a wasted pick however, as he’s probably too small to be effective in a man blocking scheme.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." Alexander Tyler

we will never know unless we give him a try
"The message to the rest of the league is, hey, the Jets are coming, and we're going to give you everything we got. And I think that's going to be more than you can handle"
Do we actually know what the conditional pick is?
As we have seen before with the likes of D. Mason, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Packers get nothing back in return.
If we have to give a higher pick
for him still being on the roster this season, then he is easily expendable.
Turner is so versatile on our line, it's insane
both guards and center, they need to retain him
Just a high school student who lives his ambitions of working for the NFL,

The Thing About Turner
is that he probably won’t be as good or effective in a man blocking scheme as he was in a zone scheme. He isn’t that big or strong. It may be time to replace Turner.
