“Depending on who you listen to, the Patriots’ 2018 pick at No. 23 overall is either a future Pro Bowl left tackle or the biggest question mark on the team’s roster this side of Jarrett Stidham,” Rosenthal wrote for NFL.com. “Wynn, whom many originally projected to play guard in the NFL, has only been healthy enough to start eight games in two years. Those eight games went fairly well last year, with PFF ranking Wynn above average among qualified tackles. Other analysis was not as kind, but Wynn is only 23 years old and showed the technique necessary to become a fixture on what could quietly be one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. Stidham needs all the help he can get.”
It’s been discussed ad nauseam that the Patriots need all of their pass-catchers to step up in 2020 as the team ushers in the Stidham era. The need for Wynn to live up to expectations that come with being a first-round pick might be just as pressing.
