Whether it\u2019s pancaking defenders in the running game or folding outside rushers in pass protection situations, he has demonstrated his strength time and time again.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">To go back to his athletic abilities without focusing solely on his power, in passing situations Wyatt is a player who is rarely caught off guard on the outside due to a lack of explosiveness off the snap or a lack of mobility. That being said, there have still been a few concerning moments\u2014which we\u2019ll get into more specifically in the weaknesses section\u2014but they aren\u2019t particularly due to any deficiency in speed, explosiveness, or overall athleticism.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to his mobility in running situations, Wyatt has shown a solid ability to climb quickly to the second level, helping his ball carrier gain those ever-precious extra yards. All in all, that\u2019s a big positive\u2014his athletic abilities show up consistently across all phases of the game.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Now let\u2019s talk about his frame\u2014Milum is clearly no slouch in that department. While we\u2019ll obviously have to wait for official measurements once he makes the jump to the NFL, he\u2019s currently listed at 6'6\" and 317 lbs. In other words, an ideal size for the position. He also carries his weight quite well, giving him a leaner build that should allow him to fit into many modern offenses without requiring any drastic dietary overhauls.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Once again, that\u2019s another solid point in his favor. And if he manages to confirm those measurements during the draft process\u2014especially if he shows a strong wingspan\u2014it could really be a home run for him.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Ultimately, Wyatt measured in at 6'6\" and 313 lbs, but unfortunately, his arm length has turned out to be far from a strong point. This has already started to cost him during the pre-draft process, as we\u2019ll see later on.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\"><br \/>You\u2019re starting to know me by now, and you know just how much a player\u2019s mentality can influence the value I assign to them. Whether it\u2019s in a positive or negative way, mentality is a key factor that should never be overlooked. And that\u2019s perfect, because Wyatt perfectly embodies what I love \u2014 or rather, what I personally look for \u2014 in an offensive lineman.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">He's dominant, powerful, and always looking to finish his block \u2014 but from what I\u2019ve seen on tape, he\u2019s not reckless or careless. Despite having that \u201cnasty\u201d edge, once the play is over, it\u2019s truly over. I haven\u2019t seen him throw cheap shots, try to hurt opponents, or display unnecessary frustration or temper. He just calmly heads back to the huddle and gets ready for the next play.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Exactly \u2014 between the whistles, he\u2019s tough as nails, aggressive, and plays with real violence in his demeanor. But the moment the whistle blows, it\u2019s done. No extra drama, just discipline. I love that.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\"><div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\"><div class=\"docos-replyview-static\"><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Another important point to mention is that Wyatt is a player who, in my opinion, still has room to grow. He\u2019s far from being technically perfect or polished just yet. Because of that, it\u2019s easy to imagine him continuing to improve once he gets to the pros.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">This could certainly be seen as a weakness if I were to view it from a pessimistic perspective, in the sense that, yes, technically he\u2019s still far from being an excellent player. However, I prefer to see the glass as half full in his case, because he has shown flashes of real talent that consistently appear\u2014enough to make you believe there\u2019s definitely something worth developing with him.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Finally, there's one aspect of Wyatt\u2019s game that really impressed me: his excellent ability to pass his hips on run blocks. He's really skilled at securing rushing lanes for his ball carriers by passing his dominant hip and positioning his body between the defender and the ball carrier. This creates a real path and prevents the defender from making any moves on the ball carrier.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\"><div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-header\"><div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-authortimestamp\"><div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-timestamp docos-replyview-timestamp\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-buttonholder hide-on-readonly\"><div class=\"docos-overflowmenu-outer\"><div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-menu-button docos-docomenu-dropdown goog-toolbar-menu-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\" data-tooltip=\"Autres options\" aria-label=\"Other options...\"><div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-outer-box\"><div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-inner-box\"><div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-caption\"><div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block docs-material docos-icon-overflow-three-dots-size\"><div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\"><div class=\"docos-replyview-emoji-controls docs-material\"><div class=\"docs-material-button-raised-default docs-material-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-tooltip=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\" aria-label=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\"><div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block\"><div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-insert-emoticon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-static\"><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Now let's move on to the first area of improvement for Wyatt: his hands, or rather, their placement. I\u2019ve seen him too many times with his hands wandering, especially around the helmet and facemask of his opponents. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he gets flagged for this in his first pro games because of it.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">Additionally, this high hand placement leads to another issue: the risk of being caught for holding. It's not uncommon to see Wyatt take advantage of the fact that the defensive linemen facing him use a Rip technique, and he exaggerates the act of \"choking\" them with his outside arm. While he often sells it well, he\u2019ll need to be careful in the pros not to push it too far, as NFL edge rushers will be quick to exploit this.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ve got it\u2014Wyatt will need to work on his hand placement to avoid leaving any room for doubt with the referees.<br \/><br \/>As I mentioned briefly in the strengths section, Milum can sometimes get caught in pass protection. As I explained earlier, it\u2019s not necessarily due to a lack of athletic ability but more of a lack of focus or concentration.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve observed him several times being just a bit late at the snap, his focus seemingly elsewhere, as if he was distracted at that moment. The reason for this, I\u2019m not entirely sure\u2014it could be that he's reading the defense looking for potential blitzes, or maybe he's caught up in some trash talk with another player. As I mentioned, I don\u2019t know the exact reason. If I were on the field or on the sideline, I could provide more details, but unfortunately, that\u2019s not the case. Regardless, this doesn\u2019t change the issue at hand\u2014these small lapses in focus need to disappear if he wants to dominate at the professional level.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">The game will move much faster, and the EDGE rushers and linebackers he\u2019ll face will be far more explosive and technically refined. He won\u2019t have the luxury of giving even a tenth of a second of leeway, or he\u2019ll pay the price dearly. That\u2019s the difference between the professional level and Division 1 College Football. These kinds of small mistakes won\u2019t be tolerated anymore, so it\u2019s up to Wyatt to work on eliminating them.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Milum will also need to make efforts to improve his footwork. While it\u2019s currently quite good, I\u2019ve noticed that when he starts to tire, his footwork tends to break down, especially his kick-and-slide technique. In fact, his kick-and-slide becomes disorganized, with both feet sometimes leaving the ground simultaneously, and a weight distribution that\u2019s too heavily on his heels, which puts him at a significant disadvantage. This is something he\u2019ll need to address urgently if he doesn\u2019t want to get exploited by experienced power rushers who won\u2019t hesitate to take advantage of these small mistakes.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, while I\u2019ve noticed that Wyatt typically plays with more than adequate leverage, once again, when he starts to tire, he tends to stop lowering his center of gravity using his legs and instead tries to bend at the waist to get lower. This serves no purpose and is actually dangerous for both his QB and his ball carriers, as he becomes more susceptible to getting beaten or put in difficult situations. Wyatt also puts himself at risk, as bending at the waist can lead to head contact and increases the likelihood of back or neck injuries. In short, this is definitely a point that needs to be addressed.<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">When he gets tired, we can end up seeing situations where the last two issues I mentioned\u2014leverage and footwork\u2014combine, and his performance, to put it mildly, is not pretty. When that happens, I don't need to spell it out, but Wyatt can really find himself in a tough spot.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">Finally, a very important point in evaluating Wyatt's value: his arm length, which has already started to cost him points in the pre-draft process.\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">Indeed, with a wingspan measured at 79 5\/8 inches, Wyatt falls among the bottom ranks for his position in this specific aspect. For most teams, scouts, coaches, media, and draft experts, when a player at the Tackle position has short arms, the natural inclination is to move him to the Guard position. I say \"we\" because, if I'm honest, I also belong to this camp. However, after reviewing the tapes, I\u2019ve concluded that this won\u2019t be a major issue for Wyatt, and personally, I\u2019m not overly concerned by it.\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">To return to Wyatt\u2019s case, the discussion naturally shifted to moving him to the Guard position. He was even tried out at Center during the Senior Bowl to see what he could do, but the results were disastrous across both positions that he is unfamiliar with. As a result, his value has dropped and will continue to decline, as he is no longer seen as a Tackle in the eyes of many. He loses the positional value tied to that role and ends up in the group of players who, without even playing a game, see their stock fall before the draft.\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\"><div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\"><div class=\"docos-replyview-static\"><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>In conclusion, Wyatt Milum is a fairly complete player with a solid floor already in place, but with a ceiling that I believe has yet to be fully reached. In a class where, as I\u2019ve reiterated, many prospects will need development, Milum is one of the players I\u2019m quite fond of.<br \/><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>He definitely has what it takes to attract some coaches, even with his current technical roughness. I even believe he could contend for a starting spot in his rookie year, given the solid floor he has. Yes, let\u2019s be honest, he\u2019s likely to make mistakes and sometimes cost his team, but I\u2019d argue that this is typical of many rookies and is part of their learning process.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>When you see his potential, which I believe is significant, it makes sense to want to see him in the big leagues and in game situations. His potential could even be more substantial if Wyatt ends up with a good position coach and the right Offensive Coordinator. In any case, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see him break out as a Tackle in a few seasons. <\/strong><\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Yes, in my evaluation, I keep him at the Tackle position and not at Guard. I completely understand the concerns that some may have about his \"T-Rex\" arms, but as I mentioned, after watching the tape, I didn\u2019t see any weaknesses caused by this somewhat problematic wingspan. On the contrary, Wyatt\u2019s hand placement resembles that of a player with much longer arms, and this actually becomes one of the areas to work on with him. So, his shorter wingspan might even help him address this technical aspect of his game. <\/strong><\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>If I flip the perspective, however, at the Guard position, he would have a lot to rework, and we\u2019d basically be starting from scratch with him. What I saw from him at the Senior Bowl in that position confirmed that the amount of work required would be monumental. Not that Wyatt couldn\u2019t eventually make it, because as I mentioned in the strengths section, his mentality is perfect, and he\u2019s very solid both in the run game and pass protection, but he would need to completely rework his approach, which could literally take years. Meanwhile, his team could simply draft a true Guard in the next draft to replace him and complete his career development. So, a word of caution when selecting Wyatt Milum.<\/strong><\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>That being said, I place Wyatt Milum in my Tier 2 of Tackles, and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him go at the end of the first round if his team plans to play him in that position. Given the tackle class this year, I\u2019d prefer to secure the player in the second half of the first round if I really need him, although I believe his true value lies more in the second round.<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia (Senior) La Draft NFL 2025 approche \u00e0 grand pas et malgr\u00e9 une cuv\u00e9e qui de prime abord semblait manquer de talent, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play s&rsquo;est \u00e0 nouveau plong\u00e9 dans les tapes afin de pouvoir vous proposer les scouting reports des joueurs qui porteront bient\u00f4t le maillot de vos [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":23577,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[262,271],"tags":[198,77,75,90,72,110],"class_list":["post-23311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-scouting-2025","category-ot-2025","tag-big-xii","tag-draft","tag-nfl-draft","tag-offensive-tackle","tag-scouting","tag-west-virginia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23311"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23580,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23311\/revisions\/23580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
