lslmustang Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Rounds 3-4 NFL Comparison Kedric Golston Overview Enticing prospect offering size, strength and athleticism to entice NFL general managers who covet elite traits over college production. Wren's play was uneven while aligned on the nose in 2018, but he should benefit from a move to defensive tackle in an odd or even front as a pro. The cheat code in unlocking his ability and production might rest in a team's ability to correct his hands and feet while improving recognition. With all things considered, "boom or bust" might be an appropriate tag for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Overview Enticing prospect offering size, strength and athleticism to entice NFL general managers who covet elite traits over college production.

The cheat code in unlocking his ability and production might rest in a team's ability to correct his hands and feet while improving recognition. With all things considered, "boom or bust" might be an appropriate tag for him. Strengths Physical specimen with broad upper body and proportional thickness in lowers Freaky athlete with elite explosion and power numbers in the weight room Coaches will salivate over size and moldable talent Frame offers consideration in odd or even fronts Plus snap reaction gains early entry into neutral zone His play features disruptive flashes in the gaps Lethal potential as penetrator with development of a swim move Tools to become adept as both 1- and 2-gap player Strength in hands to jolt and separate with more work Despite a lack of rush production, does have potential as pocket pusher Weaknesses Much more active than productive Play lacks control and consistency Pops upright out of stance, with leverage immediately compromised Shoddy footwork early in rep promotes balance inconsistencies Narrow base and lack of bend hinder anchor Inconsistent to square pads at point of attack Needs inside hands and earlier arm extension to access his 2-gap control Read-and-react needs vast improvement Gets caught behind move blocks despite his lateral quickness Rush attack reliant on force and quickness over skill and counters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 The ESPN crew loved the pick and actually gave props for all the picks thus far. The national media is slowly waking up to how good this draft is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Watched some twitter videos of this guy. He knocked the MSU center flat on his back. Seems to have some quickness and athleticism for a guy his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be another guy we talk about 2 years from now wondering why the coaches don't give him more snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
