Overview

Isaiah Wilson does need work as he is lacking experience as an offensive tackle. The traits are all there, though, as are the physical tools, body-type, and traits. 

Wilson's hands and feet need to be the focus of the NFL coaching staff that drafts him, as his issues there are what mostly gets him into trouble during the rep. If a team can get Wilson developed, he can be a force at right tackle or if they’re lucky, even left tackle.
