It's a tryout according to this.
All he needs is a chance. Really on the same level as the UDFA'S since they usually only pay those guys peanuts anyways. Looks like they drafted 1 OT, and signed 2 G's and 1 OT as free agents.
He's got 3 days to stand out and differentiate himself.
Their 4th round pick was Zach Banner from USC. He's projected as a boom/bust type of player because he's a giant 6'8 360 and has had a lot of issues with his weight.
Deyshawn Bond is one UDFA OG/C from Cincinnati that stands 6'1 300. Is there another 6'1 lineman anywhere in the NFL? Can't believe he's gonna make the cut. Wylie will make him look like a midget, as well as the rest of the OL in camp.
Christopher Muller is an OG out of Rutgers who is similar to Wylie at 6'5.5 and 315. Honorable mention All Big 10, so this is likely Wylie's biggest competition.
Jerry Ugokwe is a project from tiny William & Mary, who didn't even play football till his junior year in high school. Massive 6'7.5 321 OT. Wylie likely projects as a G in NFL so not sure this guy is direct competition. Poor combine numbers and he looks really slow in drills.

Wylie should stand out as one of the most athletic linemen out there. As long as his technique holds up he should have a good shot.
Good luck Andrew!!
