SemperFeist Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I will enjoy learning about him, because I’ve never read his name before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Overview Wonnum has experience playing standing or with a hand down but is best suited as a rush linebacker in a 3-4. He's not a premium pass rusher but possesses desirable length and slippery body turn to create pressure with secondary rush effort or when activated in a twisting front. He carries decent core strength but might always struggle as a run defender due to below-average bend. His lack of speed and suddenness could work against him and his ceiling might be as a good backup with rotational potential off the edge. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/dennis-wonnum?id=3219574f-4e27-2160-1623-df369bc69f58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehops Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 know nothing about him to be honest, but besides his agility scores is a good athlete which fits the Vikings' mold. definitely willing to give the vikings the benefit of the doubt when it comes to EDGE guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just throw him in the weight room with Hunter and the film room with Patterson and he'll be a good player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I don't know anything about him. So that means Andre Patterson will turn him into a 10 year starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Explosive and long. After Robison, Griffen and Hunter, I'm all about 4th round DE's with traits. Patterson and Zimmer should be able to turn him into a player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 One of the longer wing spans among edge defenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This is one of those “do what you do” picks. They’ve done such a good job drafting these types of defensive ends that there’s really no reason to question the pick. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 When the highlight tape shows him playing in a 3-point, 2-point, off ball linebacker, blocking kicks, sacking the QB, chasing down a ball carrier from the backside, and intercepting the ball... yeah, we can work with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
