23rd Overall Draft Pick ISAIAH WYNN

[Deus Irae]

I'm enjoying the irony of you claiming Wynn cannot replace Thuney at guard. You know, Thuney, the awful pick you thought the Pats made 2 years ago, the guy with t-rex arms.

So either you need to admit you were wrong about Thuney (and many others since you hate every player we've ever added) or it must have been one of the worst talent pools ever in this draft if a guy taken right around the area most projected him to go isn't good enough to replace a player like Thuney. It's one or the other.

There are other possibilities. That is not an "either/or" situation.

Now I know you don't know anything.

This should be in the bar ^^^ for an auto reply on this forum.

I think Wynn will be playing LT unless and until he shows that he is not ready to play LT.

Patriots OL coach Dante Scarnecchia on where first-round pick Isaiah Wynn fits on the line (tackle or guard): "He's played left tackle in the best conference in America. Played it pretty good. We're going to take a look at it, and see how it goes."

Just for all the folks who still doubt that Wynn was drafted as a LT:



And in response to the number one lazy explanation why he can't succeed there (size / arm length):

I live 35 min from athens and am a big UGA fan. Excellent pick...Wynn is a STUD, tough, and can absolutely play LT

Winder?

I feel the main qualities needed are talent, athleticism, functional strength, technique, and sure size does play a factor. But his size isn't alarmingly bad. He's just an inch or 2 shorter than your average LT and his 33.5" arms are long enough to play the position. That's the same length as Matt Light's arms. Maybe we'd prefer a bit more size, but if the rest of the package is there, Dante can make it work.

LOL Look at Scar, ready to go at 3am.

Dayum!

He looks better at 70 than I did at 40.

A lot meaner and nastier, too.
