Wills is the better mover and athlete

I could understand thinking Wills can 't handle LT because it's a complete different technique relative to RT, but in terms of feet and athleticism he's special enough to play either at a high-level..

You just summed Up the way I feel about Tristian Wirrfs...

I think willis is the Strongest and best run blocker of the top 3, but IMO he is the least "best mover".....not agile enough to handle pro rushers with more than one move, not quick enough to handle speed rushers, and SOLID but not elite getting to the 2nd level.

The SoCal vs Iowa bowl game solidified that in my mind. I'm locked in on my top 5 OT's 90%, top 3 wont change, the order may.....I'm waiting on the combine to see if Wirrfs or UGA is my #1 guy....unless Willis proves me completely wrong and has a workout like Desmond Harrison did.... (I had SUCH high hopes for that kid...)

Desmond Harrison was all athleticism, zero competitive focus, and minimal functional strength.

All 3 of Wills Jr., Wirfs, and Thomas are better football players, have better functional strength, and have better football mentality than Harrison ever did.

We'll have to agree to disagree on Wills Jr. 

He's my top OT and I think he'll excel at LT or RT, but should start off at RT.

Tristan Wirfs is going to blow up the combine. It's going to be a site to see.

-----------------------------------------------------

1.) Jedrick Wills Jr., OT Alabama

2.) Andrew Thomas, LT Georgia

3.) Tristan Wirfs, OG-Phenom/OT Iowa

4.) Netane Muti, LT/OC/OG Fresno State

5.) Isaiah Wilson, RT Georgia

6.) Prince Tega-Wanogho, LT Auburn

7.) Josh Jones, RT Houston

8.) Mekhi Becton, OT Louisville

9.) Jack Driscoll, RT Auburn

10.) Terrance Steele, RT Texas Tech

11.) Austin Jackson, LT USC

I completely disagree with this statement...

Watching all of these prospects for the past 2 seasons, I honestly think that Thomas has the best combination of Agility, Strength, Experience and Technique of the top 3 OT prospects.

Wills will not be able to handle the LT in the Pro's IMO.

I’ve done research on Thomas all day after hearing people say this. It looks like they’re right and I’m wrong. Thomas has plenty of tape where he obliterated DL. I didn’t see it live.

Maybe. He's had one year of production only, which scares me.

All of tOSU's DBs were terrible last year under Schiano, and their DB coach was horrible (same with LBs), the talent is and was always there. Notice how they all took the next step under Hafley, Okudah is no question elite and could be better than Lattimore, remember be was the #1 corner recruit in that cycle.

Even Okudah was a stud in ‘18. Dude isn’t a one year wonder.

Does anyone know anything about Matt Peart. o.t.  uconn?   Iv'e seen him mocked to us in both the 1st and 2nd round.

He’s a late round guy. He’s a decent run blocker but struggles against speed. Zero chance he’s taken top 75.

I can dig it, my top OT's coming out are

1. Andrew Thomas, LT Georgia

2. Tristan Wirfs, OT Iowa

3. Jedrick Wills Jr., OT Alabama

4. Mekhi Becton, OT Louisville

5. Trey Adams RT Washington

6. Matt Peart RT Ucon

7. Austin Jackson, LT SoCal

8. Prince Tega-Wanogho, LT Auburn

9. Charlie Heck OT UNC

10. Alex Taylor OT USC (Former Basketball Player for the Gamecocks....)

I see your pretty high on Netane Muti also.....I like the kid also, but do you think he has the length to play OT? This kid is BARELY 6'3? I love him as OG/C....and he has some injury history.....I dont think this kid will be able to handle the edge in the NFL....
