No. 3: Isaiah Wynn (Georgia)

Adding Georgia’s Isaiah Wynn will instantly add grit and toughness to any offensive line. Wynn’s high motor and incredible athleticism have made him one of 2018’s top guard prospects.

Wynn is fluid with his movement and light with his feet, according to his draft profile on NFL.com. The Georgia Bulldog also possesses excellent agility and constantly active hands, which would translate well into the faster-paced NFL level.

During college, Wynn played both the guard and tackle positions, making him a versatile offensive lineman. Thus, Wynn is effective in both zone and man blocking situations.

Along with his solid blocking skills, Wynn is regarded for his great football character and leadership. Wynn also knows how to succeed being around the winning culture in Georgia.

Wynn only stands at 6-foot-2, however, which might be shorter than the ideal offensive lineman in the NFL. Wynn could also work more on his strength, especially since he will be facing some of the league’s toughest defensive players.

Despite his height and strength issues, Wynn would still be a fine addition to any NFL team. Wynn is projected to be drafted between the first and second round, and don’t be surprised if the 49ers pursue this workhorse.
