I like both and initially liked Wirfs best but now feel Wills will be the better pro

 

[JCSunsfan]

I am seeing a lot saying that Wills has the skillset while Wiirfs has the raw talent. If the basic athleticism is there, I will take the skillset in an offensive lineman any day. Take the lowest risk, plug and play player. The Cardinals cannot afford to miss with this pick.

This was fantastic. Thanks for posting!

This is really good, wish we could have something like this for the top 15.. like the receivers, simmons, etc..

Excellent. I agree 100%.

Anyone have thoughts on Becton?

Wow that was kick ass. If we go OT at 8 it better be Wills

 

[mjb21aztd]

Im going with wills or Thomas from georgia at 8

I hope it's simmons though!!! Him paired with hicks Jones would be dope!

 

[Rain Man]

I like a trade down and grabbing Ezra Cleveland. Using the extra pick and replacing the second round pick we traded away

The problem with Thomas is similar to Wirfs' issue, but he isnt the athlete Wirfs is.

If you want the best physical prospect, Mekhi Becton is the guy for you.

 

[Goldfield]

That was good

This video definitely persuaded me to lean more towards Wills.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Its always been Wills for me. I think he has passion for the game and wants to be great. Wirfs to me seems lazy and has gotten by on his athleticism, and only does what he has to.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’ve always had Wills above Wirfs. What this video doesn’t show is how much nastier Wills is than Wirfs too. Repeatedly buries his guy’s face in the turf

 

[az jam]

Good video, makes a solid case for Wills over Wirfs.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Great video!

I've been saying that Wills is the most ready for the NFL and Wirfs is the Athletic Freak who still needs polish. This only solidifies my desire to take Wills if we go OL with the #8 overall pick.

Sounds like a good down to earth kid that has his head on straight. I would be okay with Wirfs, Wills, Simmons, or Lamb at 8. I would also take Okudah but I'm sure he won't be there.

 

[Chopper0080]

I'm still on Wirfs.

I'm still on Wirfs.

If we think he will be a pro bowl G for the next 8-10 years...so am I.

As an OT...no thank you.

I have no idea who is the best OT in the Draft. All seem to have some "experts" in their corner. As a fan I'll be happy with the one we pick if we do go OT at #8, and every day I seem to climb on a different bandwagon. Today, I'm a Becton fan, and hope he's the choice. Will probably change my mind two or three times in the next couple of weeks. Even if he doesn't start as a rookie, I can see him being used as an extra blocker in short yardage situations.

P.S. Then in the third round we draft a WR (kick, punt returner), Hammer from Penn State. Looking forward to seeing them stand side-by-side in a Photo Op.

The issue is, can Wirfs be taught to block the same way Wills does?

He can be taught.

He can be taught.

I don't really think you can say that with certainty. Some players can be taught, and some can't.

Becton at Fullback . . 1st and goal . . Boom.

He can be taught.

3 years of great coaching at Iowa...why hasn't he been able to? I think we are agreeing.

Interesting info on Iowa OL (that may only interest me).

Highest ranked/best OL from Iowa over the past 10 years:

Brandon Scherff - Played LT at Iowa, was drafted to compete at RT, and ended up at RG

Riley Reiff - Played LT at Iowa and plays LT for Vikings

Bryan Bulaga - Played LT at Iowa and has played RT in NFL

Marshal Yanda - Played RT but became one of the best OG's in the NFL
