I *knew* I should have posted this prediction rather than trying to catch up on all the threads I've missed today!  I totally thought he was the pick at R3.1.

 

Not that any of that adds up to a hill of discarded shit.  But I really did think the Titans had interest in BWW.

Scouts Inc. pros: Possesses good awareness in zone coverage. A long, fluid and rangy defender outside the hashes. Displays very good balance and fluidity for a bigger corner. Can drop his weight, flip hips and transition smoothly making a 180 degree turn. Takes good angles and has the length and range to get his hands on downfield throws.

I have a guy who I trust on the NFLUK forums that really rates this guy. Has him as a guy that is perfect for our scheme. He has good tape and is the type of press corner that the FO was looking for.

Strengths

Scouts like Wreh-Wilson’s tall, long frame on the outside. He owns the closing speed to cut down receivers quickly after the catch when playing off, and uses his long arms to knock the ball away out of their hands. But he also presents short-area foot quickness to stay with receivers when tight on the line, as well as the powerful extension to knock them off their routes.

 

Weaknesses

Like most taller corners, receivers can get Wreh-Wilson a little off-balance once he stops his feet. His tackling is also inconsistent, as he’ll dive at the feet of ballcarriers or lunge at him to make a hit instead of using his length to wrap. Play action can also get him in trouble, as he’ll jump forward and allow his receiver behind him. After receivers get behind him, Wreh-Wilson doesn't always showcase proper hip flexibility or adequete recovery speed. And even with his height and length, Wreh-Wilson sometimes loses jump balls when he gets outmuscled or fails to high-point.

Bottom Line

Wreh-Wilson is a tall, tough corner, with some ball skills. His length and short area quickness makes him an intriguing prospect, but his inability to quickly flip his hips and his lack of deep, recovery speed will likely limit him to a zone-based scheme.
