Wren’s sheer force from his bull rush is too much for Bradbury to get inside hand placement. pic.twitter.com/ZRrkWcN9vx
Love this Draft.
This guy is like 6'5" 318 pounds and runs a 5 forty flat....

Actually he needs hands placement work. I think this is fixable. He needs like a swim move with his arm length, shouldn't be a problem.

No doubt this is what Wren needs to work on, his hand placement and develop some swim moves.
He has the length and the strength. Would be really fun being the D-line coach and getting a talent like this to work with.
This guy is already a good run stopper.

If the staff can get this kid to recognize his potential and abilities then he could be the steal of the draft. Welcome to the team Renell and I have high hopes for your future.
Same here, i was kind of hoping we take another LB like Long here but i still love this pick.

DT is one of the least "instinctive" positions. It is basically just taking care of a specific assignment instead of "read-and-react".
The knock on Wren was that he was an "underachiever". There could be dozens of different reasons for that.
Geno Atkins was the 22nd pick of the fourth round. Wren was the 23rd.

Something I was thinking. Strikes me as a kind of guy who would learn a lot from fellow players.

You don't need many instincts at nose tackle, and he's a freak athlete, so, if our coaches can coach him up and take advantage of his body frame, we have a STEAL and our front four just became dominant with him lining up next to Geno!
Renell Wren (@Renell_Wren) wins this rep with quality burst off the line. His first step covers a lot of ground, illustrates powerful pop through the hands and stacks/shed the OC to get in the backfield for the TFL with company. pic.twitter.com/K1OjYCpZv6

Dude has a crazy first step with explosion and powerful hands.
Just needs to work on his hand placement and get a few moves.
Bottom line you cannot teach what this guy has physically.
This iDL class is not deep with athleticism, yet there is one standout still on the board on Day 3: Renell Wren out of Arizona State.

77th percentile, won at 1T and 3T. His first two steps are crazy, or he can win when engaged https://t.co/BxWMNCkTiB pic.twitter.com/c7zIjUPtmB

Wren can play both Nose Tackle and 3-tech Jake.

Yes sir. When you have a crazy first step that is what makes a DT able to be a good one in the NFL. Cannot teach it, this is an instinct that is rare and seperates DT's. To have this along with his size, power, length and athleticism?
These are some awesome traits.
