It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I've consistently maintained that Wynn is the most technical OL in the draft, and that's more important than ever with the changes to practice rules. He needs the least amount of work with his technique, and he's ready to start right away. I also believe he is a tackle. He's 6026, so he's only a quarter of an inch under 6'3. It's not like he's an even 6'0. People get too caught up on height. He handled every single pass rusher -- LB, EDGE, DT -- who faced him, including some of the players drafted already tonight. Very happy with this pick.
We may not be able to afford to resign him.
Did you see the contracts that were given to guards this offseason. Mason is very good but he's not the best - still has a few issues in pass protection - but someone will be willing to pay.
Pats have only picked 4 tackles in the first 2 rounds under BB and Scar. The first 3 were successes - Light, Vollmer, Solder. Scar has the benefit of any doubt here. But if he struggles it'll only be because of size, and he would fit right into Mason's spot next year if that is the case.
I'd assert that Mason is a Top 5 RG in the league.
And yet someone (no names of course) clicked "disagree" on my post. It is as if the Nate Solder ordeal did not happen...
It will be guard. I hope Garcia's ready or maybe waddle could do the job

Was literally gona say Beachum hours ago but didn't bother bc the poster asked for elite and Beachum just came to mind i wwasnt gona google tonight.Wynn is ⅛ of an inch shorter than Kelvin Beachum, who has been a generally successful starting left tackle in the NFL. So it wouldn’t be completely unheard of.

People said the same things about arm length until it was disproven. "Don't draft X position from X "college" until its disproven. Im glad we have people making decisions that aren't afraid to stand alone at times.

It’s great to have an opinion backed up by stats and/or logic but it always makes me chuckle when “experts” on this site write things as if they are facts. His arms are less than an inch shorter than McGlinchey and Miller’s, two LTs whom he outplayed last year.

Thanks for telling us facts but I’ll wait to see what BB and Scar have to say. My guess is that they will try him at tackle and adjust if necessary. They weren’t sure that Light and his T-Rex arms could play tackle but he proved that he could in training camp. If Wynn can’t, they have themselves a dominant LG.
