IIRC, Wilfork played one-gap at Miami was was excellent at shooting the gap. One reason Traylor started ahead of him for the first half of his rookie year was that he (Wilfork) had to learn 2-gap.
I wouldn't sell Wilfork short.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”
