Analysis
By Lance Zierlein
NFL Analyst
Overview
Tall, long-armed tight end who flashes the potential to line up in-line or as a move tight end. Wiley would benefit from better strength in his lower half to help sustain blocks, but his technique is generally good. He has the stride length to pick up speed in the seam and across the hashes on intermediate throws. The short-area foot quickness is very average and he’s an average separator underneath. Wiley’s catch talent and ability to fight through contact are big check marks in his favor. He has the versatility and potential to compete for a role as a TE3.
Strengths
Uses height and length to play over the rim.
Willing to get physical at the top of the route.
Rarely has a focus drop and uses size to shield catch challengers.
Hands-catcher with consistent extension to snare it away from his frame.
Gets into base blocks with inside hands and proper posture.
Uses footwork and feel for angles to seal blocks.
Weaknesses
Lacks desired footwork to get in and out of breaks cleanly.
Will sit and wait rather than working back to the throw.
Needs to make earlier adjustments to bring in off-target throws.
Doesn’t break enough tackles on his run-after-catch.
Inconsistent physicality to handle lead-blocking asks.

He ain't going too late, probably.

I've moved him up into my 4th round set. Brugler thinks 3rd round.

Size/speed combos at the position are at a premium this year. I mean really, ideal guys are Johnson, Wiley, McLachlan, Reiman, and All...

Johnson has some legal shit in his duffle bag (assault, etc) and he's raw.
McLachlan is ****ing 25 already.
Reiman needs a lot of route work.
All is an injury report all on his own.

The rest are short or slow or both. The bulk of the class is at least a shade under 6'4". Oof.
