Not trolling. I don't hate the pick, I just preferred Akeem Ayers and leaned more towards Cam Heyward. Thus, notsureifwant.
Was more of a pipe dream, though I would be willing to deal next year's first (although I imagine we would need more)
Wilkerson is very versatile and can play anywhere on the line, just what Rex covets. Will be used primarily on the end.
I like the pick alot...I took him in mid round 2 back in our 3 rounder and suddenly he shot up into being a top 20 pick soon so from that standpoint I do have concerns but value wise and need wise, he absolutely fits the billing. Very versatile, can clog up the middle and be a great run stopper. Not sure if he has the speed to get to quarterbacks but picture him as a DeVito/Pouha type with much higher upside.
The point is Heyward has a higher floor but Wilkerson has the higher ceiling... obviously Tanny, Rex & co are confident enough they can turn Wilkerson into a great DE... which he has a chance to be.
He'll help recruit Asomugha. No but seriously this guy looks beast. Should be a fine replacement for Ellis.
Jabaal Sheard migght be more reasonable to get by trading up into the second. Won't go as high as Ayers.
