I like it. I dont see the D talent people talk about but i dont want a CB or Landry at all.

Hate the pick. Can't wait to be so wrong.

Feels like a big reach. Thuney does kinda suck.

Wynn didn't work out at the combine or his pro day, so he slipped through my athleticism filters. I haven't taken a look at him until now. Good feet in my first few seconds of watching him.

Fwiw, Mike Loyko loves him. Here was his write-up at BSJ:
Here’s a rundown of the talented interior offensive line prospects and possible targets for the New England Patriots:

FIRST-ROUND TARGETS

Isaiah Wynn, OG, Georgia (6-foot-3, 313 pounds, N/A 40-yard time): Versatile and technically gifted prospect. Wynn has high-level starting experience at both left guard and left tackle. He moved to left tackle last season and flourished. Compact frame, with average arm length which is why he’s projected to move inside to guard. Wynn is a plug-and-play prospect from the minute he’s drafted. As fundamentally sound a blocker as you’ll find in this class. With traits to be effective as both a zone and power blocker, Wynn is close to the total package. He’s solid in the pass protection, has a strong anchor, impressive hands, and shows great mobility. I picture Wynn becoming a Pro Bowler early on in his career.

For the Patriots, Wynn doesn’t fill a significant need and guard isn’t usually a targeted position in round one in terms of value. Wynn might be too good to pass up for New England even if it’s with pick No. 23. His versatility would make him an even better fit than many other linemen available in round one. He doesn’t have typical measurements of a left tackle, but he’s at least shown he’s capable of performing at a high level vs. the top competition in college. If the Patriots believe he can consistently play left tackle, then he suddenly becomes a very real option for that pick. Either way, Wynn is one of the highest floor players in the entire draft.

One last thing on the top college OTs… I trust @BigDuke50 more than anyone with evaluations and he loves Isaiah Wynn, even at OT with his 6’3 height and shorter arms. He’s told me multiple times Wynn is ready to play now.


Love Wynn's game. I'll say again, best practitioner of LT in this draft class based on 2017 film

I don't love this pick, especially not if he can't stick at LT, but it'll be fine if he can. He was ITP's top remaining player (our #6 overall prospect).

Does this guy really project to left tackle? Thought I saw that he’s 6’2”. Seems a bit shorter than the Pats like for a tackle.

He's 6'3, so not a big difference. His body proportions are similar to Matt Light. Light was an inch taller, but a bit lighter. Wynn's arms are .12 inches shorter. He seems like he could be pretty good under Dante's tutelage. Any improvement to the offensive line is fine by me.

Really don’t want to reign on the parade there but that’s one team that really needed defense over offense.

Agree, and I love seeing the future Tide wideout parade down there. But imagine being told unironically this was a good pick because White is no longer there, they need more WRs.

Great they have Julio Ridley and Sanu and can’t stop a nose bleed.

Fucking Seahawks. Should have traded out of the round and taken him in the 2nd if they loved him so much. I hate watching their drafts.
