Patriots Sign Top Pick Isaiah Wynn

The Patriots have signed top draft pick Isaiah Wynn, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Wynn will receive $11.44MM over the course of his four-year rookie contract, in accordance with his slot at No. 23 overall. 

The Patriots were drawn to Wynn, in part, because of his versatility. The Georgia product has the ability to play both guard and tackle, but he has been lining up primarily at left guard this offseason. Wynn, it seems, will battle with Trent Brown for a spot on the starting lineup. The loser of that competition will head to the bench to serve as a swing backup.

Wynn is said to be a technically-sound blocker with above-average athleticism. At 6’2″ (or 6’3″, depending on who you ask), he may be a bit undersized for tackle at the pro level, but time will tell whether he can handle both positions.

With Wynn locked up, the Pats have only one unsigned draft pick remaining – fellow Georgia product Sony Michel.
