The Tennessee Titans selected Georgia OT Isaiah Wilson with the 29th pick in the first-round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Wilson was an All-American as a freshman right tackle at Georgia and was bothered by injuries in his sophomore season. At 6-foot-7 340 pounds, Wilson is one of the largest tackles in this years draft.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein wrote:
“Big, broad right tackle prospect with outstanding physical traits and above-average potential.”
To get an idea on how Wilson will preform at the NFL level, let’s look at two pros that Wilson’s game most resembles.
1. Demar Dotson – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dotson (6’9″, 315 lbs) is one of the largest tackles in the NFL, but what resembles Wilson the most is his length. Both Wilson and Dotson are able to use their length to keep the pocket clean for their quarterbacks by forcing rushers out wide.
2. Lane Johnson – Philadelphia Eagles
During Wilson’s career at Georgia, he excelled in run-blocking because of his footwork at his size. One of the best run-blocking tackles in the NFL, Johnson uses his footwork to turn the edge defenders which seals the gap and he also does a great job advancing to the second-level.
The Titans’ offensive line was already one of the best units in the NFL and after drafting Wilson, that trend should continue for years to come.
