Isaiah Wilson’s Weaknesses:

Wilson has been described as a “traits-based” prospect by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, which makes sense for a couple of reasons. For one, the right tackle only played two seasons of football with the Georgia Bulldogs and doesn’t have a ton of active football experience to learn from.

Not that Wilson can’t make the jump into the NFL after only two seasons of college football, but not having more game-action might make the transition to the next level a bit more overwhelming than it would have been if he had stayed in college for at least another year.

Adding to his lack of experience, Wilson never truly got to perfect his technique at the college level. For as much as Wilson’s size helped him to win battles against defenders, he would lose more often than you would like to see due to some deficiencies in the technical side of his game.

Wilson is a developmental prospect for sure, and has a lot he’ll have to learn on the fly in the NFL. If he can put the pieces together though, his strengths give him one of the best ceilings of any offensive line prospect from this draft.

Now let’s get to the good stuff.
