Wyatt Teller NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Buffalo Bills' Pick
POSITIVES
—Prodigious strength that is apparent every snap.
—Rocked-up frame (6'5", 315 lbs) that is balanced from top to bottom; he'll be able to immediately handle NFL physicality.
—Can latch and extend defenders as if bench-pressing them and has torque coming from his elbows and lower-back strength.
—Mean streak on the field that shows good competitive toughness and intensity.
—Above-average body control in space to roll into and through contact with ease.
NEGATIVES
—His 2016 tape was far better than his 2017 highlights, and he'll have to convince teams he's still trending upward.
—Had some loafs during 2017 that show a disengaged player.
—Won't succeed when asked to routinely play in space and is best suited for a gap scheme.
—Lateral agility is suspect and highlights a tightly wound lower half.
—Play speed is average at best.
OVERALL
Wyatt Teller is one of the draft's most physically imposing interior offensive linemen. He has a muscular frame that will have no problem handling the beef he'll see up front in the NFL. 2017 saw a regression in terms of overall play, and plenty of that looked to be from a player less interested in his performance than he was the previous year. Teller will have to convince teams his 2016 tape represents who they'll get. If he does, he could be a rookie starter with all of the tools to become a standout in a gap scheme.
