So the things I like about Wilson. Speed and hands and that he showed to be a playmaker despite being on a team that emphasized the run.

I don’t think the team has to worry about him being a head case either.

I like the pick, another solid addition.

It says it all. Tough, hard-nosed receiver.

Ditto, he's short but not that short. He's got great weight for his height. Good, very good hands. Tough over the middle, Wilson is not just a slot receiver for those worried about number of snaps in Aurthur Smith's offense. He's more versatile than Pickens and excellent complimentary.

Good pick. Seems like the perfect compliment to Pickens.

The nearest Steelers bar.
WR's are tough to project, but he is a good run-blocker (if you're not, you don't play WR in Jim Harbaugh's offense), very quick, good hands. Solid components to a good WR.

Modern day Wes Welker. Hope he doesn’t turn into Ryan Switzer
They have to hit on one of these guys sooner or later. I hope this is a hit.

Everything will get better for the offensive weapons as the OL improves in run/pass blocking.

The less the QB is running around for his life, the better off they'll be.


It all looks great on paper right now.

I haven't been this exited over the OL in a very long time.

Guy has great speed, route running, and just looks effortless catching the ball, soft natural hands. Sky is the limit

Not a bad "value pick" for where they got him (ranked 7th-best WR taken in the 3rd). May struggle to beat NFL press coverage but that can be countered with movement and playing off the ball. As long as the staff knows how to use him correctly, should be a positive addition; probably not a #2 WR but still can be very productive.

I think that sums him up pretty good. Get him in the weight room and add about ten pounds. I am sure they will look at him all over but I think he would be more comfy where he got the most reps. inside.
