Wilson is intriguing and I do love my Wolfpack but I worry with the way jury history.

the (bad) luck we've had with perpetually injured players over the years has e hitting the brakes with this one. i love the potential havoc he can bring. i hate the potential to get and stay hurt.

Injury history concerns me also as well as the mediocre results with former NC State players, all due respect to Wolfpack fans. Personally, I’d go with Edgerrin Cooper out of Texas A&M. Instinctual MLB that’s a heat seeking missile on blitzes and has good coverage skills. Would be a good complement with Jewell and eventual replacement for Shaq.

It's been temporarily paroled.

I wouldn't mind taking a shot on him with a day 3 pick

Please no. We have enough bull here already.

Yeah unless he drops to the later rounds we can't afford the risk associated with him.

Yes, you should.  He is a stud, but even in that photo, he is wearing a shoulder brace.  for a LB, a shoulder problem can be devastating.

He is being talked about in the first, but I see him gone long before round 4--of course, it depends on the intelligence teams have on him.

2 things

1 - Panthers should just take him off their board because of injury.  Good player.  Too much damage already to his body IMO to come in and play ILB. 

2. let's stay away from NC State guys for a minute.  We haven't been exactly hitting homeruns there (no offense State fans).
