I've seen Wilson play several times. I think he has plenty of game. I think some team will be able to draft him in rounds 4 or 5.
Unfortunately I don't think he'll ever be seriously considered to be a teams #1 guy because he's 5'11. Might be stupid or unfair but that's the reality. Even if a starter were to get hurt and Wilson goes in, a team would look to put that starter back in or draft a 6'4 QB the next year. Basically he'll never be taken seriously. |

I'm a huge fan of his, but I'd be surprised if he gets drafted at all.

If Wilson were 2 inches taller, he would still barely be 6' tall (measured under 5'11" at the Senior Bowl). I just don't see it happening.

Discussions ad nauseam about QBs and the "it" factor. We know Matt Cassel doesn't have "it". Russell Wilson is freaking covered in "it". |

He does have "it".
Wilson's the type of guy you bring in as a FA and see if he can earn a spot. There is nothing compelling about him that would make you believe that he's going to be Drew Brees. |

When I watch him, it is clear to me that he has all the tools, including between the ears, except for height. Drafting him in the fourth makes total sense to me. In fact, I think I like that plan more than drafting tannehill at 11.

I'm not sold on Tannehill at all. I never have been. Perhaps that's because I've seen him play too much. Missouri used to carve that guy up every year. He has nice skills and size, but something is missing.
Fourth round is pretty high for a QB who is 5-10...he doesn't have that much IT. Just my opinion. I wouldn't be upset if we got him later than that. |

I think the nice thing about wilson is that you wouldn't need a lot of time to develop him. Just however long it takes him to pick up the system. Plus investing a fourth doesn't preclude you from trading back in the first and picking up ammo for a first round qb next year if the gm thinks it isn't working out. I also could realisticallly see wilson starting after the bye if his height is sufficient.

Hodge and schlereth pointed out that linemen in their stance are about 6 in. Shorter, and his line was averaging 6ft 6. Schlereth also pointed out Flutie was pretty small when he blockded for him in the pro bowl...
If you never give shorter guys a shot, of course there are going to be less success stories. How many size prototypes have changed in the NFL over the last 10 yrs? Just took one guy to succeed. This guy anticipates lanes well, and has all the tools to possibly overcome if given the chance.

I threw him out as a 6th a couple of months ago and got roasted for it. He was pretty poor in senior games.

The guy is going to be a steal for whoever picks him up. I hope it is us.
