Run Blocking
In-Line 8.00 He is a big body, so he comes off fast, locks on, then helps clear the lane for the runner.

Pull & Block Outside 8.00 He is light on his feet, and can be a bulldozer for a runner, he helps clear lanes on pull blocks.
Adjust In Space 7.00 He can struggle with this, the more space he is in, the taller he gets, can get beat being too tall.

Teamwork 8.00 If he doesn’t have someone to block then he will help his teammates, always seems to look for work.
Strengths
Wynn is a big body lineman who seems to swallow most defenders he puts his hands on. He does a great job at locking his hands onto defenders and driving them where he wants to go. He has versatility and can play guard or tackle. He will come in and be an effective run blocker early in his career. Naturally instinctive at picking up blitzes and stunts.
Weaknesses
He can be a liability in pass blocking early in his career versus speedy pass rushers. He can be slow at times kicking to the outside, so this allows fast guys to get around him. He will have to be kicked to the guard position because of his height. He also needs to find a way and get more push of the L.O.S. Stronger defenders can be difficult for him at times.
Big Picture
I believe Wynn has the capabilities to come in and contribute for a offensive line needy team. He can add size to the guard position, and help open up things in the run game. He can be a challenge for defenders to get around because of how he uses his body to his advantage. He can get beat at times by speedy rushers, but, I believe this is why he is better suited for a guard position and he will be better at pass blocking by holding his inside position. He will need to get a tad bit stronger to handle the stronger interior lineman of the league, but he does a nice job at anchoring down and holding down his position when he faces stronger guys, and ones that know how to win the leverage battle. I think if he can put it all together he can develop to be an all-pro guard in the league some day. He could have a long career, as long as his durability holds up. He has been a starter for Georgia since his freshman year so he has shown he can come in and contribute as a young person in a new league. I think he has 1st round talent as a guard, but because of how the draft may go, and his height, he may go late 1st round to early 2nd round. I would compare him to Kelvin Beachum.
