Arguably no prospect boosted his draft stock more at this year’s Senior Bowl than Isaiah Wynn.

The Bulldogs 6-foot-2, 308-pound left tackle won offensive lineman practice player of the week in Mobile and was playing with a torn labrum.

Wynn is expected to transition to guard at the next level but has the talent to play tackle if needed. He has drawn comparisons with New York Jets starting left tackle Kelvin Beachum, who is just slightly taller at 6-foot-3.

Bleacher Report’s lead draft analyst Matt Miller has the Atlanta Falcons selecting the Bulldogs prospect in the first-round of his most recent mock draft. Less than a month prior to his mock draft, Miller had Wynn listed as the tenth best guard in this year’s class.

There is no question Wynn’s play in Mobile elevated his draft stock, so much so that he might be out of reach for the G-Men in the second-round.

Wynn is arguably the most versatile offensive lineman in this year’s draft. He has the ability to play tackle, guard, and center at the next level, which could make him the perfect replacement for Pugh.
