Look, I understand all of the data, but if having this running back this high on the board is wrong, I don't want to be right. But his flashes of dominance, frame (84½-inch wingspan is bigger than all but three offensive linemen at the combine) and lateral quickness to the ball are exactly what defensive coordinators want.ģ. A bit of a projection and some scouts wanted to see a little more fierceness in his play. Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech, 6-5⅝, 271 (DNR)Ī fractured foot in November ended his final season after transferring from Texas A&M, so the medical staffs around the league will have a lot to say about where he is selected.
