I'm already on the Wilson bandwagon. I think he's a perfect pick. Lots of potential upside if you strike, and you can get him later in the draft so there's very little cost. I'd take him before someone else does in the 4th or so, maybe even the third. Love this pick on a risk/reward basis, and I think Pioli thinks like that.

Can we just get him some taller cleats?

Okay, I just watched some tape on Wilson after really not knowing too much about him. I'm rather impressed! He looks like a baller to me.....he's fast, accurate, a gun for an arm and has a quick release also. His only draw back seems to be that he's about 5' 10". If he were 6'1" I'd be willing to bet he would be ranked high in the first round (same with Kellen Moore who I've also liked as a late round prospect). Wilson gives you that additional running ability though.....an extra dimension from the QB position that the Chiefs haven't had in a while. In Wilson I kind of see a bit of Brees' game with comparable agility to Vick and the speed of an Aaron Rodgers. Overall not a bad combination. Question is where do you draft the guy......4th or 5th Rd. perhaps?

Watch him against Michigan St and Ohio St.
I don't blame him for the Rose Bowl loss against Oregon, since that was more an issue of Wisconsin's defense being AIDS. I really would have like to see Wilson turn in some clutch performances against the top schools in his conference. That would have sealed the deal for me. Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure this "it" everybody talks about is as real as they think. |
The other issue is he's already 25. In any other draft where people weren't talking about a close to goddamn 30 year old being drafted, that would be a huge mark against him. As such, many people are flat-out ignoring Wilson's age it seems like.

The guy is balls out on play action which would meld nicely with our RB corp. Also, he is very capable of rolling out and firing a laser. I think this really creates some problems for any defense that faces us. In this sense, his short stature plays in our favor: where is our QB and does he have the ball or did he hand it off?
You bite on the play action, and he still has the ball, you have to find him while Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin and Moeaki are are tearing up the secondary. You don't bite on the play action and he hands it off, you have HUGE running lanes for Charles and Hillis. |
I really like Russell Wilson. To be honest he is probably my 3rd favorite QB in the draft behind Luck and RGIII. If he was 3-4 inches taller, he would be a 1st round pick easily. He is a blast to watch!

This guy looks up to 3rd graders. Not like respectful or anything, but because they are taller than he is.

AT Michigan State, he was 14-21(66.7%) for 223, 2 TD's and 2 INT's. AT Ohio State, he was 20-32(62.5%) for 253, 3 TD's and 0 INT's. Big 10 championship vs. Michigan State, he was 17-24 (70.8%) for 187, 3 TD's and 0 INT's Now, I fully admit to not watching or remembering these games, so if there is more to be said about his performances against those teams, then I'm all ears.
