6 offensive tackles the Panthers could draft in 2020
By Dean Jones
Isaiah Wilson – (Georgia)
Isaiah Wilson seems like a perfect fit for the Carolina Panthers. He is a dominant run blocker that would give their All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey another formidable weapon to move behind
Wilson is surprisingly explosive for a man his size. He backs this up with superb power to move pass-rushers off their desired course.
His massive frame makes him extremely difficult to get around. Wilson’s punch power at the point of attack is ruthless and once he has hands-on an onrushing defender there is no getting away from the player.
There are some technical aspects of his game that do need some work. His hand speed and positioning is something that could be better and Wilson sometimes plays tight in pressure situations.
If the Georgia product can work out these kinks during what promises to be a reduced preseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then the sky is the limit. He is projected to be a late first or early second-round pick, meaning the Panthers might have shot of adding the player with the 38th overall selection should they wish.
Wilson possesses tremendous upside to be a day one NFL starter and is going to get significant interest from elsewhere.
