INDIANAPOLIS — At one point, a reporter asked him to simply show off the wingspan. And so edge rusher Tyree Wilson, a Texas Tech product, spread his arms and flashed the 86-inch gap between his left and right finger tips.
It was an impressive display from the Alaska native whose father lives outside of Seattle. And if most mock drafts are correct — an enormous “if,” of course — there is an excellent chance those arms will be swallowing up quarterbacks for the Seahawks next season.
Whether it’s NFL.com or CBS Sports or USA Today — everyone seems to be projecting Wilson to Seattle with the No. 5 overall pick in April. It’s a defensive-lineman-heavy draft, with Alabama’s Will Anderson and Georgia’s Jalen Carter joining Wilson in the top five guesstimates (although the arrest warrant issued for Carter on Wednesday could seriously jeopardize that).
