    Summary: I really like Wilson’s skill set and I think he will contribute to a team early in his career. He has the potential to be a No. 1 corner in the league though he has a couple things he needs to work on to make that happen. Wilson really impressed NFL scouts and coaches during Senior Bowl week and he was the best corner on the field. He was suspended in 2007 for three games for a violation of team rules – this will be checked into by the regional scouts but I’m not holding it against him until we hear media reports. Wilson will likely get drafted in the latter half of the first round.

    Player Comparison: Cortland Finnegan. Finnegan is a very confident player who is highly athletic and finds ways to make plays. He’s a good press man corner like Wilson.
