I'm leaning more and more to Morris being our guy. Ideal scheme fit, meets all the thresholds we have at OT, we met with him…5 star recruit that needs some top end OL coaching to perfect his technique.

Different big boards rank them all quite different.
here's Dane Brugler's write up (has him ranked right above Freeland and McLendon).

Oklahoma RT Wanya Morris has been one of my favorite watches this draft season. I love his length and athleticism, and I think there is a lot there to develop.

This is an awesome rep where he avoids the swipe from the DE and then latches on for the block. pic.twitter.com/hMvHgax2fp

My lord
Oklahoma springs a big run as Wanya Morris (RT, #64) lands his hands perfectly and showcases his power.

Morris turns the DE completely out of the play to open the running lane. Great run blocking rep from the tackle position. pic.twitter.com/JJlP5mXZFz

This is the RT we need. Freeland has a lot of upside but Morris would start day 1 IMO.

Yeah he's got that talent level to play at LT if need be down the road imo. Not seeing too many visits for OTs though

Hopefully its due to not tipping their hand.

According to Tony Pauline, 49ers were one of 6 teams at Morris' solo pro day. 4.70s short shuttle, 7.69s 3 cone.

31 other teams already know they'll be looking to draft an OT with one of their first few picks.

Man I really want to get this guy. I'd be stoked with moving up 10-15 spots for him. I'd be happy with Freeland too though.

Wouldn't be shocked if they're pretty happy with Colton

I don't think they will have to move up for Morris. I'm not really that interested in Freeland at this point. Rather wait for saldiveri.

It's a safe bet, but fact remains they aren't openly checking out too many.

To this point OU was really down last year. That being the team and the coaching. Morris does seem like the type that if coached up could use his God given physical traits to quickly become a NFL RT. He was a 5 star recruit coming out of HS and I just don't think ever received the type of coaching to take his game to the next level.
