At least it wasn't the dreaded "special teams specialist" pick...

That isn't until round 2

Wynn is a solid OL pick. but I'm pissed the they let the Titans jump them for Evens.

They pulled a fast one on him. It's like he was waiting on Evans to fall and someone drafted him ahead of him.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Lamar looks to be enjoying his draft day slide. All smiles and dancing...good for him.

 

[stcjones]

my reaction to 23 was the same as when Solder was drafted. "Oh"

B.B. makes drAfts really interesting.....really interesting

 

[manxman2601]

I don't get how 2 inches make a guy unable to play tackle.... Maybe I'm dumb.

It’s about taller defensive players getting their hands on the OT first because they have a longer reach.

 

[mikey m]

Can't believe we got the best player in the draft at 23!!

 

[Delicate Genius]

How many murders for this guy?

That’s a lot of strengths

Bill's picks are so bland. The linebackers still can't cover and we could use another corner.

Good thing they have another 3 picks in the next 30 odd selections.

 

[BobDigital]

I hate this pick.. No way he should have been the first tight end picked. No way!!! Lol

 

[Kdo5]

Jackson might be available at 31...but it seems crazy not to go defense.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

lol a 25 yo TE

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Wynn's film is very good at LT. Well done BB.

 

[stcjones]

Out of curiosity what are negatives? Most mocks I read had him going late 2nd early 3rd?

Well said Ted.....not best value pick on board....

No it’s not. Makes no damn sense. He’s better than any guard we have, yet he’s a horrible wasted pick? When we have Shaq mason hitting FA after the season? His response makes no sense at all.

 

[Love The Drake]

He will be a good player maybe we should trade Shaq Mason already if they wont pay him next year.

 

[A.C Vegas]

I wonder if it is worth that 5th year for BB to take Jackson

His weakness is he doesn't fit into the typical box size wise. A lot of sources had him in the first including many of the top draftniks on this site.

I would have gone Landry but this is fine.

 

[sportnik]

At least take a CB, maybe B.B. actually finds one for a change. Wynn is soft and awful, another wasted first round pick.

Have you seen Wynn play? Complain all you want about the position, but Wynn is a stud. He could play tackle or be another Mankins at guard. Guys like Wynn cost a fortune in Free Agency.
