Every year, Dane Brugler creates a massive draft report called The Beast.
(The Athletic is worth every penny, btw)
Here’s what he had to say about Logan:
STRENGTHS: High batting average as a tackler...squares up his target, keeps his feet underneath him and finishes in space...quick to key, read and flow...better pursuit speed than expected, unlocking and closing with burst...punishes as a striker, exploding into his target...physically takes on blocks with the core strength to shed and toss linemen...skilled as a quarterback spy...tape is littered with hustle plays (motor doesn’t have an off switch)...plenty of drop-and-cover experience...recorded 10 career interceptions and averaged 15.4 yards per return...finished with four defensive scores (two interceptions, two fumble recoveries...coach’s dream due to his team-first attitude and humble intangibles...highly productive and started 52 straight games in his career.
WEAKNESSES: Occasionally late to react in man coverage...struggles to close the gap once backs or tight ends separate vertically or on out routes...overaggressive downhill and can get sucked into gaps, losing sight of the ball in the backfield...violent shed skills, but not explosive with his hands...needs to better anticipate blocks based on scheme...most of his sack production came on stalled blitzes with clear lanes.
SUMMARY: A four-year starter at Wyoming, Wilson lined up as the Mike linebacker in former defensive coordinator Jake Dickert’s 4-2-5 base scheme. Despite not playing linebacker until he arrived in Laramie, he made an indelible mark at Wyoming as only the second player in school history to be a three-year captain and the fourth to eclipse 400 career tackles. With his top-level diagnose skills, Wilson is a tackling machine due to his break down ability and sound technique in the open field, mirroring with range. He rarely came off the field and as a former high school cornerback, he looks comfortable in reverse with natural ball skills. Overall, Wilson likely won’t have the same production in coverage vs. NFL athletes, but he won’t miss many tackles and his reaction to movement translates well, projecting as a special teams stud with starting potential.
GRADE: 3rd Round
