Tyree Wilson,
Edge
Texas Tech

Transfer from A&M - big kid (6'6) & freakish athletic ability.
Good initial burst off the edge. If a tackle "whiffs", Wilson has the talent to get there.

Will need to improve on moving quicker off the snap without hesitation.

Pro comparison - JPP

Lots of potential here.

If you want another Lombardi, you'll need an ELITE QB or above-average O-line.

Here's another potential big ugly.

Peter Skoronski
G/T
Northwestern

Some have rated him as the best o line prospect in 2023. Gifted footwork and hand placement. Ideal Role: Left guard

Potentially a Day 1 starter as a rookie.
Second rd grade.

Some National scouts expect him to transition to GUARD & becoming a Pro bowler with his skill set.

Jordan Battle
S

Alabama

Started as a true freshman (29 tackles/2 TFL & 1 int).

Good speed, size, and pedigree. Scouts say he's athletic enough to play man yet has field awareness as a split safety.

Solid instincts to the football.

Will need to improve with form tackling & run support.
Mid-round grades.

Michael Wilson
WR

Stanford

Solid frame (6'2), good route runner & has the ability to make the contested catch.

Could be a perfect "high risk, high reward" type pick.

Mid-round (3-5) grades throughout.

Michael Wilson Highlights, Senior Bowl, Stanford WR - YouTube

He looks like a TE to me which isn't a bad thing. My only concern is he didn't extend his arms to make a catch in the video. I want my contested catch guy to snatch the ball out of the air. Nonetheless, he looks smooth enough running routes and he catches cleanly. I agree that we definitely need a possession receiver to back up MT if he can't get on the field again this year.

How did QB Tune's visit go with the Saints? Is he worth a late rounder?

Trenton Simpson

LB

Clemson

Good range, instincts, and finishes off plays.
51 tackles, 17 assists/2.5 sacks & 2 FF
Butkus Award semifinalist


The negative - can over run plays & get overaggressive
Hand placement to shed blocks need to improve

Day1/early rd2 grades
