I'm glad he got to the Houston game because alot of the big concerns surrounding Wilson can be seen in that game. I've seen too many times on tape of WRs with steps on the DB slow up almost not trusting he can get it that far or Wilson just under throwing it and being bailed out by the receivers or zebras. Missing a ton of reads and working through his progressions way too fast as well. This doesn't mean he is a bad prospect or anything but there are some big reasons why he could fail with a big step up in competition.

Yea, he makes some good points there.  I do see a few questionable decisions.  But look at the overall body of work here. 

Dude completed 73% of his passes this season.  Let that sink in a minute.  73% completions.  And he wasn't throwing a bunch of bubble screens and hitches.  He was ripping it.

No way this guy is available at 8.  I don't think this guy is available at 3.

Finally had time to watch Wilson’s pro day and watched a few games.  Man, he has that golden arm.  He does resemble Rodgers with that flick throw right on the money.  That is his comp for me and I am really impressed at what he can be.   Would have loved to see more adversity being faced but he seems unfazed with noise around him in the pocket.  He is really talented.  Definitely 2 or 1 A in this draft.

Do put a ton of stock on the stage that these guys played on though.  If he goes to the Jets and is forced into action soon he could get overwhelmed quickly.  David Carr comes to mind.

Can he keep learning and improving?

I don't mind unfinished or imperfect at all if the prospect can keep refining their game. The luxury of getting a polished product seems to have gone out the window when the NCAA changed their rules years ago.

Wilson went into this season not even being assured he would be the starter....because his 2019 wasn't good.  That's part of his body of work too. 

They played some really bad competition this year.  And this basically is his defining body of work.  A lot of his plays IMO never would have happened vs better competition because better athletes would have made him pay for it. Think they beat 3 teams with winning records.  And that includes folks like the USTA Roadrunners being one of them. 

I definitely think he is is a promising QB.   Plenty to like.  But he got folks claiming he is even better than Lawrence.   Nothing back ups this weird Wilson movement IMO.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
